While I get that ownership is a proxy for spent-ample-time-with, it definitely biases in favor of the financially-well-off.  For example, I think the folks who worked at Hamer probably know better than all of us combined, but may have owned just one or two total.

I haven't spent a ton of time with others, but I've always dug the time I spent at the open houses at Rocketeria.  It let me play, hear, and discuss more Hamers in a few hours than I probably would in a year of trading around on Reverb and the HFC.

Unfortunately, I am down to just my Blitz and Cruise Bass, and the Blitz will most likely hit the market eventually,  just not playing guitar these days, its all drums and bass.

Lotta Cali's (duh) & Diablos, a few Centauras, a couple of Blitz, a Firebird, a SS I, a Vector & a Scarab and the MOAC Fath double neck Cali. That, honestly, should be in category all it's own. ;)

Wish I'd never have sold the 1979 Sunburst and the 2002 GoldTop.

Only own the last two now, and the Talladega 2008 BT will probably be for sale soon.

 

Probably a nice USA Hamer Tally is all I will ever need (next to my Fender CS).
