Guest pirateflynn Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Hamer guitars, a historically important American brand. No doubt about it!
SteveB Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 ok, gotta give em props for putting some more modern versions of Robin Trowers stuff from "20th Century Blues" on the playist.
cmatthes Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Those Miller guitars ARE nice. A guy I used to play with had one and let me hold on to it for a while. I didn't want to give it back.
seeker Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Bittersweet for me. I was the only bidder on one on ebay a few years ago (back when there was quite often only one bidder). An hour before ending, the guy yanked the auction. Seems he didn't want to let it go for 500 bucks.
formula73 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Glen Tipton's new guitar looks like it could have been a KxK.

An hour before ending, the guy yanked the auction. Seems he didn't want to let it go for 500 bucks. Or somebody offered him $700 to end it early! A shop down the street from my office here has one that has been there for at least 8 years. It's behind a wall grate on a stand in a visible storage room with about 10 other guitars on stands and a bunch of piled-up cases. I asked the shop dood/owner about it one time and he completely denied that it was there, and acted like he'd never heard of Hamers except for that he sort of remembered them making guitars for Steve Stevens back in the '80s. When I pointed out where it was, he still denied that he had one in his shop - ever. Not interested in going back there, personally, despite the fact that an HFC'er scored a stupidly rare and incredible, low 4-digit 3 pickup Vector with an L-5 board and crazy binding in that shop a while back. A friend/co-worker went in about a year ago, saw the guitar on the same stand (reported that it had a thick coating of dust on it). Both guys in the shop denied it was there then too. Weird...
Steve Haynie Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 The Peter Green tie-in really is surreal.
Pieman Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 ok, gotta give em props for putting some more modern versions of Robin Trowers stuff from "20th Century Blues" on the playist.Is it possible to download the tunes playing at the blog? Parchman Farm by Cactus was up there a couple weeks ago and it took me back to 1971. But there is other good stuff on there all the time.
David B Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I like those too. Very comfy. The shape works well.
