cmatthes Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Elduave and I were just in Durham yesterday, and had planned to stop into SoundPure, but we were having too much fun at Chez Stike and blew it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doo-ruhm has changed quite a bit over the last 30 years, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I usually get down there a few times a year, but it definitely has changed since I lived in Winston in the ‘80s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaVO Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Damn. That checks a lot of boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topekatj Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hamer had some outstanding maple in the mid-‘90’s. This instrument looks to be a ‘96. Unfortunately I just cannot abide the truss rod cover design that was in use at the time — looks like an import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sweet spot was in the very early years of its post hipster phase and now it's just full on tech/start up bros and luxury apartment complexes. I definitely prefer my current rural digs. I saw that Hamer in person a couple weeks ago, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still that black [lubritrak?] nut however 👎 11 hours ago, scottcald said: Or just leave it off, or put a String Butler on it. 😆 No butler, no way!

I'm sure it depends on the particular vintage, but I remember replacing the TRC on the custom Standard I ordered in '90 and the early "95 Reissue" I bought with bell TRCs as soon as I got them.
