Hamer SATF 2002 ish, MIK
Just listen to the sustain!



Found at a music store, traded some straps for resale. Told me he didn't care for DCs, now everybody's happy.

Nice! I have 2 of those Hamers and they’re great guitars.

We recently got a mid 90s miniature fender telecaster, made in Japan and sold only on the Japanese market. The Scale length is just 18 3/4” !! It needed a little tune up and the neck pickup was mostly dead but I’m working on fixing that too.

The other purchase is one my son negotiated today while I was playing a guitar. He talked the sales person down on this Yamaha dtx kit. 35% off everything (pretty much got it at dealer cost) lol . And a simmons speaker to go with it. Payed with his savings (approved ).

I need to let him buy me another guitar amp Next time

Behold… a Gibson Custom 1959 Reissue ES-355, Ebony, with Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging (that model name is a mouthful). It blends a couple of my ideal concepts: I spent 20 years with an Epi Dot as my only electric, so that shape/size suits me perfectly; and I have wanted something from the Gibson CS, especially with the “Custom” look (bound headstock, tuxedo black/gold).

It’s “on tour” making its way from Sweetwater to my house. I’ll definitely post about it once it’s arrived and I’ve had a chance to fully appreciate it.

I know I'm 12 yrs late to the party but I'm stoked! From the listing it looks to be unmolested and near mint but we'll see when it arrives tomorrow. Woot!

There may be another acquisition after work today, as well. We shall see...

I feel like years to late is sometimes the best time to get a great deal.

I expect you'll like it! I had the JCA22H some years ago, and sometimes I kind of regret letting it go - it was a great "Soldano on a budget" tone.

Supposedly made by a company called Rivers Relics but I can find zero proof of this. I bought it used so... I wouldn't be surprised if this is not something they'd advertise as it's begging to get sued.

I'm the last person to ask about how close it is in specs to what obviously inspired it. One thing is obvious to me, and that's that the neck angle is too shallow to be completely vintage spec. I could swear that Dantzig (Hamer co-founder) said that a reduced neck angle was one of the three best ways one could reduce head stock breaks.

Does that count?

I think frets are gear.
