RobB Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Nice one and welcome to the forum! Talk about some OG-bragging rights...If you have any other pics of your Hamers, please post them. I’m sure there are a few folks here who would love to pick your brain about your early interactions with Paul and the Chicagoland music scene.Man, oldskool Hamer owners are really starting to come out of the woodwork recently. This is a welcome, yet somewhat ironic trend. Testament to the awesomeness of a board I’ve been posting to since 1998, no?
mirrorimij Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Wow. Best entrance ever.Welcome. Since you are into vintage did you ever do business with Larry at Ax in Hand in Dekalb?
DBraz Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 What an AWESOME first post! Fantastic guitar too. What a great choice.
G Man Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Quite the entrance, I suppose we don't need to worry about warning you to hide your wallet in this forum. Welcome, have a seat, stay a while.
motorpriest Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Welcome! That's a nice chunk of mahogany you have there!
