Travis Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It gets delivered today. I think it’s been about 9 years since I got a new (to me) Hamer. That’s far too long. More pics to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Scepter Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 On more than one occasion I forgot and left my house only to come back with a delivery tag on the door... only to frantically drive up and down the neighborhood in hopes to locate the delivery man...😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's nice about FedEx lately "at least in my neighborhood" is that you can track the approximate whereabouts of the driver on my phone... it'll show a street map and points out the driver is 8 stops away... 6 stops & so on~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I would get more Hamers, but I still need to fix the ones I got, and I keep buying amps (but not selling them) Can't wait to see what's inbound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGJ Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hey, what's with the hole next to the bridge? Is that like a Strat kind of bridge/trem and the hole is for a trem arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most common complaints about the Mirage series is the choice of the Wilkinson bridge. I will most likely be replacing the Wilkinsons with the Mannmade vintage trem with a brass block. It is supposed to be a drop in replacement and much higher quality bridge. The Mannmade is a popular choice for upgrading the bridge on these guitars.

BubbaVO Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I had a MM in a Daytona. I really liked it too. I'm interested in the super vee blade runner, but currently don't have a guitar for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
