ebradfordrich Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Lead guitarist with a Jackson or a Kramer. 😜 There was an interview I read a long time ago with Phil Collen where he talked about this very thing. When they played in the round in the Hysteria tour, they were constantly colliding headstocks as they were tearing around the multilevel stage. Add booze and a shit ton of coke and voila. ❄️
crunchee Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 "Thin modern neck profile." It looks like a '93 from the S/N, plus it has the smaller Hamer/Schaller tuners, so I'd strongly suspect it has a slim neck.
Travis Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 “I saw the post on the Hamer Fan Club blaspheming this guitar. You’re a cute bunch of fellows. Thanks for the exposure.” Aww... he thinks we’re cute. 🥰
Jakeboy Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I love how it has apparently turned to that buttercream color. That ding wouldn’t bother me on a guitar that old. How did it happen? Cymbal is my guess.

Add booze and a shit ton of coke and voila. ❄️ I actually worked on the video crew for the "In The Round In Your Face" video shoot in Denver (which included the videos for "Pour Some Sugar On Me", Armaggedon It", etc.) and I was up on the stage during the day with Rick Allen and he pointed underneath the stage and asked if I knew what went on under there, when I shrugged and asked he replied "it's like Caligula under there!" 😅 They were all great guys and it was an incredible experience for a young buck like myself. Phil showed me his entire Jackson tour collection up close and personal too as I was enamored with Jacksons at the time... Those were the days!
hamerhead Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I like it. The color is a nice match to my Les Paul. It looks like it's in good shape aside from the headstock ding. A little fret polish and you're good to go.

Anyway, using the word "blaspheming" here, in my opinion, is like trying to kill a fly with a nuclear bomb.
rugby1970 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Blaspheming sounds like a preacher. Be careful with this one. He called y'all cute. Hell, I didn't even start on this yet and we already have cute. My calling card says "Cute and fun to be with" on one side and "Young, gifted and Irish" on the other side. Decisions, decisions...............

rugby1970 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 That gouge is from the corner of a piece of heavy furniture. "Chip" my ass. "Chip" was the youngest son on My Three Sons and he definitely didn't look like that.

Marvelicious Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 That looks like a defensive wound to me... Clearly he was attacked by knife-wielding assassins. He might not have survived with a lesser guitar!
bambino68 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I’ve got the same one without the ding, that I’m going to sell for $850.

Steve Haynie Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I'm with @Jakeboy on the possible cause. Cymbals in small jam rooms have been the bane of guitar players for decades. 1993 was a transition year for neck thickness. They were still thin until later in the year.
hamerhead Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I'm with Marvelicious - knife-wielding assassins for sure. No other plausible explanation. He's lucky to be alive.
Hbom Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I'm going to go with 28 years of Rawk & Roll. And the only thing I see wrong with it is the bridge, which may be an improvement sonically but not to my taste visually. And easily fixed. Price is down and if I was a bit closer I might give it a run.

I'm going to guess that someone was pissed at their drummer and tried to bash the drum kit, only to land on some metal hardware. To this day, the G-string tuner on my '73 P-bass is slightly bent from me trying to bash in my drummers kick drum head. He deserved it, the smartass little f-head!
LucSulla Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Am I the only one who can't read this thread with out thinking, "You, oo, oo"? ...fucking hate that movie.

tbonesullivan Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I would say, basement show, or basement practicing, hitting a duct or something in an unfinished ceiling. Those cream pickups are just NOT doing it through. Those can't be stock.
