their build quality is far superior to anything  Gibson's "custom shop" puts out.

I guess having to listen to the Gibby bashing comes with the territory here, but to me it often comes across as resentful whining. :rolleyes:

ALL Gibsons aren't bad! I've owned some very nice LP's. In fact, I traded two very nice LP Standards towards my Hamer Standard back in '81. I deeply regret selling that Standard (ser #0597). In all my experiences, and I've been around.....I've never played a crappy (US) Hamer. I have encountered some crappy Gibsons, though. And there may be some crappy Hamers out there. Haven't run into 'em yet.

So to quote Rick Nielsen, "Life's too short to play a crappy guitar.....get a Hamer!"

I know. I was shocked in '92 when I went to a guitar show here in Denver and they were getting $1000 bucks for em, because I had just bought a '59 cherry double cutaway for $400 in Fargo in '90.

I also knew a local musician in Fargo in the mid 80s who told me he sold his '59 Les Paul Standard to Steve Lukather for $1000. Bet he really regrets that, if its true.

It's everybody wanting what they had when they were young. My father-in-law just bought an old Vox Berkely amp because he had one when he was 20.

I try not to think that way, but I admit I'm just as guilty.

I'd settle for having the same enthusiasm and wonder about playing that I did when I was a kid. Getting old(er) and working harder takes it out of me.

I've looked at some Hamer models, but I'll take a short cut: if I'm looking for fat and heavy like a Les Paul, what models should I look at first?
