sledhead44 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The listing just says "Archtop." Is that what they were actually called? I don't recall seeing anything similar to this other than maybe an Echotone which is a double cut with a different bridge. How are these regarded? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hamer-Archtop-Hollowbody-Guitar-Samick-/301756435775?hash=item464215cd3f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 No idea what model, sorry. But it looks like a good one if MIK, and the price looks fair (so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledhead44 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 I think I might go for it. I've been thinking a lot about selling all my guitars (or most of them). I was laid up at home and in and out of the hospital with a stuck kidney stone that left me a bunch of time to sort out priorities. Mid-life crisis at 40? Maybe I just need something different like this guitar to relight the spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 A new guitar is not always what you need to feel better, but it cannot hurt. Learning something new would be better than a new guitar. However, that hollow body guitar could make you explore some music that you have not played before if you do not have a guitar that comes close to its design.

Gino Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I was laid up at home and in and out of the hospital with a stuck kidney stone that left me a bunch of time to sort out priorities. Mid-life crisis at 40? Ouch!! I feel with ya'... Had a kidney stone 15 years ago - then about your age. When the pain hits you repent of every known and unkown sin.....

I would try out the git, but I am not sure about the selling idea. But I do know the feeling for sure.ETA: Maybe a Washburn A20V would help?

Learning something new would be better than a new guitar. However, that hollow body guitar could make you explore some music that you have not played before if you do not have a guitar that comes close to its design. That's what I was thinking too. All I have are solid body double humbucking guitars, and one SSH. Some of the new music that I am trying just does not sound "right" on what I currently have.I was laid up at home and in and out of the hospital with a stuck kidney stone that left me a bunch of time to sort out priorities. Mid-life crisis at 40? Ouch!! I feel with ya'... Had a kidney stone 15 years ago - then about your age. When the pain hits you repent of every known and unkown sin.....Thanks! I completely agree. The pain was so bad they could not manage it in the ER, so they admitted me. But then I had to lay there for two days to wait for surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would still like to find the "right one" of those, I think it would keep me from exploring anything new. I would just keep playing Quiet Riot on that Washburn. Would buying that be GAS insanity? Buying the same or similarly equipped guitar over and over hoping for a different result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django49 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 They are decent guitars. IIRC, I paid slightly more than that for mine. Good bang for the buck, but the reality is that I do not really use it. Hard to predict how eBay auctions end. I would not chase it too far if the price jumps.
