JACK!!!! THEY DID NOT LIE TO YOU. THEY DID NOT BUILD A CHAP FOR ANYBODY!!! THEY DO NOT DISCRIMINATE - YOUR MONEY IS AS GOOD AS BILL GATES' !!!!! THEY ARE ENTITLED TO APPROVE OR DENY BUILDING SOMETHING IF THEY WANT! Really - there is nothing to get upset over - they will probably not build a Chap for Vernon Reid right now!! Why do you think he still plays his old guitars?!?!!?!?! What I want to have built is a simple thing based on things that are currently in production. To me it is not a big stretch, but I COMPLETELY respect their decision to not build it. As Steve (Phoenix) pointed out above, it is not about who you are or how much money you have, it is about what HAMER decides is within their direction, current means, etc. to build. THAT is the real deal. Like it or not, a Chap doesn't fit any of these for the company right now. This is not a case of your dealer lying to you, Hamer lying to you or the Man in the Moon lying to you - they simply are not building Chaps now! How exactly did they lie to you if they just said "No" ?? This is not a conspiracy against you... (Edited because I went over my HFC-mandated Exclamation Point Limit)

Dave's has been a Hamer dealer for a long time. I bought a Standard from Dave in '95 when they re-issued them. I wasn't aware that they may have lapsed, but they always have had Hamers around.

Rob: Actually, I've tested that one no less than 5 times in the last few years. I know of at least ONE thing that they won't do (that they have done before). Apparently, there is no amount of money that will change their mind right now. I've said every time that cost is not an object, and can back it up with the green. It is just not something they are interested in doing at this time. I can respect that, but will still keep trying...

Spell Check is for lazy people.

Thoughts and prayers to both you and Steve. Hang in there, guys.

Very nice one Peter! Say, was there an upcharge for the "Stadium Logo"?

(aw crap, here we go again!)

Okay you two...I'm gonna kick BOTH your asses! C'mon. This is an Internet message board! Nobody's gonna kick anybody's ass here. Let's all get along and play nice, shall we? (Oh, and "F-YOU" Gus for making me laugh, ya bastid!)

Jack - again, I am pretty damned sure that they DIDN'T MAKE ANY CHAPS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS!! Nothing to get upset over, my man! If they were going to make one, I'm sure you would have gotten the ##s...

Conspiracy theory. I highly doubt that they made one, and if they DID, it would have been for much more than what Jack has deemed a "fair" price. Just my opinion - not based on facts. I think Rick was pulling your leg, Jack.

I think somebody was probably having some fun at Jack's expense. Hamer has not made a set-neck Chap in the last 2 years that I am aware of. Take it easy...exhale...count to 10...!! I have no idea why that would have been deleted unless the poster (or a complainant) specifically asked to have it removed or hit an alert or something. Ya got me.

Here we go...
