Maybe he meant "pees." We could all agree everyone pees on that guitar.

The pickup angle has been adjusted just the way somebody famous probably likes it.

Are those top two tuners sharing a screw hole?

Just ask questions anyway. We love discussions of various Hamer models. Photos often get posted in the replies.

That is Charlie Starr, frontman of Blackberry Smoke.

A pickup change is reversible. Do what you want, but keep the original parts. If you are not going to play the Standard often just leave it alone, save money, and keep playing your go-to guitars first.

Yup. There was/is enough money to pay me to dress like that, sing those songs, and be married to either one of the girls.

We need an angry emoji.

...except if you are in ABBA.

Everyone is a viking at an Amon Amarth show.

Amon Amarth is the only Cookie Monster vocal band that I like. The guitar parts are more metal than they are thrash.

I missed it. I have two automobiles. Both had issues at the same time that prevented me from going to the show. The only other friend who might have gone to the show decided not to go, so there was no ride for me.

Andy Sneap played the black Standard in Alpharetta/Atlanta on Saturday night. When the light hit it just right you could see the checking in the lacquer. Is there any known history on his Standard? On the big screen behind the band there was video of Glenn Tipton playing his custom Hamers with the logos quite visible.

I have liked carbon fiber necks on basses. It would be nice to have one.

That was the tour with a real wall of Marshalls!

You will see a Judas Priest show, but it might look odd without Downing and Tipton. It will be good, though. KK's Priest played Atlanta in March and they are doing another round of USA shows in September. That show felt just like a Judas Priest show.

My Sunburst is heavy, but it resonates just right to me. The trade-off is worth it. If the Sunburst you bought sounds good you should take that into consideration. A heavy guitar can be used in rotation with other guitars.

If you want a free Queensryche ticket for tonight's show in Charlotte send me a PM.

Will the Virtuoso have a case, or is that separate?

The way others have fixed the Hameritis along the fretboard is to use a razor blade to pull back the edge and drop thin super glue in there. Tape might be your friend.

What was that Martin electric guitar like?
