This stuff has really helped me, and you might consider talking to your doctor about it; the generic is inexpensive:Voltaren Gel (diclofenac sodium topical gel) is a topical gel nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain of osteoarthritis of joints that are amenable to topical treatment, such the hands and knees. Also, I've started playing lap steel, a big plus when it comes to playing comfort. Mudshark, that is a very interesting possible solution and something I'll take up with my doctor. Thank you. Sorry to hear about your affliction! I've read all of the comments and taken them all to heart. I played all of my Hamers again and the Talladega seems one that will be a keeper; the soft V neck helps. Still undecided about most of the others. My Taylor acoustic is definitely on the way out. I'm looking for an acoustic with a friendlier neck. Has anyone ever played a Zager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of my Fender, partscaster, Peavey, And one Hamer to fund another killer Shish. Rugby, If I we’re you, I’d sell the Hamers to fund a Shishkov. Then I’d mail Mike the Tele neck and tell him that is what I need neck-wise, to be able to play. I am certain he’d accommodate with a ridiculously great guitar that you are able to play easily. This is the way I'm going. Pretty sure the Tally will stay. Maybe the Artist Custom. All others are up for grabs. Thanks to all for the opinions!

They sound incredible too. Big balanced dread sound!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim777 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You can do an awful lot with a good Tele, especially if you have a versatile tube amp. I would get rid of everything you can't play. And I'm really sorry to hear about your troubles; you're right - you should be able to just chill and play 'em all once you retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for an acoustic with a friendlier neck. Has anyone ever played a Zager? My dad has one. It does play easy... but it came equipped with such light strings that anything would play easy. You could get much the same effect with a set of 9s on your Taylor. Doesn't seem to be a bad guitar, I just don't think they're doing anything particularly magical to make them playable. I much prefer my Taylor, but I don't like strings that light. Then again, I'm in my early 40s and I've definitely given my hands some blue collar abuse... ask me again after I hit retirement age!

I wound up buying an Alvarez Yairi, 1-3/4" at the nut and a hand friendly neck profile. I've started drinking an anti-inflammatory tea blend and using Boading balls. We'll see.

Marvelicious Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good for you. No need to make any rash decisions. ...when and if you do decide to let your Hamers go, I'm sure there are plenty on here who would see them go to good homes!
