I don't know what PSA means, but it seemed appropriate here for some reason.

This is on my local craigslist. I don't know the seller, but this does look like a good deal. Richfield is a few miles from my house, so if I can assist anyone in any way with this, let me know.

I saw that on EBay. Something about it reminds me of Ace Frehley. Do you know if this is an IL or CT made?

Public Service Announcement

For example, a commercial on television like "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" or "This is your brain on drugs".

Severe GAS overcame me last night and I bought the silver sparkler this morning!

I assume since it's a '99 it's CT made.

Does anyone here know exactly what it is, though? The guy called it an Artist, but with that finish in that year wouldn't it be a Vanguard or a 25th Anniversary?

Bloozguy on a rampage! Unstoppable! (sorry, video game quote - which game though?)

That oughta keep you busy until the Eclipse 12 gets there on monday lol...

25th Anniversary Hamers (the non-Limited Edition) were red with humbuckers.

I believe those started out as the Vanguard (silver sparkle, P-90s)

Then Hamer (or Kaman marketing lol) changed the name to Artist Mahogany P-90 and it could be silver or trans-red (like every other Hamer around 2000 lol).

They never named it the Phantom AFAIK. We just call them cool.

"ooh.. shiny..."

Not just a rampage, but a sparkly guitar rampage.

The guy I got this from works in a local music store and they've got a Talladega hanging there...I didn't even touch it!

I'll definitely do a tone report...I haven't had DiMarzio pickups in anything since Super Distortions in the 70's...and this one's got Virtual P90 and DLX-90 humbuckers. I'm getting the original P90's as well in case these aren't as tasty.

We'll have a more thorough analysis after the November 9th 4-3-2-1 club party for sure.
