Bennyboy-UK Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hello chaps, I was just thinking, that its been a little while since we had a bit of HFC merchandise out and about - Picks and stuff like that. I'm using picks from the last lot that were made and really enjoy using them. I appreciate its probably a loss making exercise, and time intensive for the guys who can make the arrangements in the US - @cmatthes, using the approved fonts and scripts etc - but I'd love to see some more. For example could it be possible to get an HFC Logo'd Checkered strap? Chances of me getting an original Hamer one are slim, but perhaps we can get something made up for a run which would be a clearly different but influenced new version? I'd be happy to help on this if there are any UK vectors into getting this kind of thing done. What does everyone else think? (for example - would we be better tasked supporting Shishkov Guitars?) Cheers, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I am all for an HFC seat cover set for my Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo175 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I might be able to get some T-shirts made. Depending on the number ordered, we could have them for around 16- 18 bucks apiece. I'd be willing to put together a design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We'd honestly prefer if (however well-intentioned) any HFC swag come from us, as I own the artwork, logo, etc. If there's enough interest, let us know - we're always open for discussion. Just note that typically, this involves me being left high and dry with an advance purchase to meet minimums, etc., while people who have requested orders disappear into the woodwork - so we'd have to get pre-payment. Honestly, the shipping is what has killed this in recent years...it has gotten ridiculous to send things now compared to the days when I could send out USPS Priority Mail for under $5.00 each. Something like CustomINK or a similar vendor is probably best. Anybody interested in Sustainblock bridges or cream 3 coil rings, however...be our guest!!

I wouldn't expect you to front some ridiculous amount with no guarantee of recouping that. Count me in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce919 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 My old HFC shirts are looking very worn out. I would be open for a few new ones. I understand on the pre-pay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 A Kickstarter campaign to do shirts would help eliminate ghost orders. Once the campaign hits its goal all the credit cards on file from the pledges can be tapped at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Matthes, I think about buying a A5 "project". So I am looking for 3 PU ring and Sustainblock trem. Are those parts available somewhere? Price?? Thanks for your hint!

cmatthes Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The 3 coil rings are available from Fretsonthenet.com. the Sustainblock terms aren’t available unless somebody has one lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorch Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Other than black, I’d be open for shirts. How about something useful like beer bottle openers or this: (never mind the German language, consider the item) https://www.zinndeckel24.de/Zinndeckel-mit-Logo/Zinndeckel-zum-selbst-gestalten.html Beer coasters or anything... Actually, for shirts there is still the https://www.cafepress.com/hamerfanclub site. The shirts are not bad. I have a few quite worn over the years that stay longer than expected.
