I am a big fan /user of this company's work, although the two I have look nothing like their current offerings. But well designed and well built. https://holeyboardpedalboards.com/

I took this pic about six or seven years ago. I actually added a few Hamers after that, but now I am down to two: a Duotone and a Newport. Still have 20-plus guitars, but had a big sell-off.

I saw him in Seattle at the Seattle Center Arena in 1976. He came out on stage, there was a problem with the PA, so he left, came out 15-20 minutes later, and had the same problem. So he left the stage again. When he came back out he was very apologetic and then played for 3 1/2 hours to make up for the delays. I want to say Montrose was the opener but that was a lot of Heinekens ago.......

I know a lot of you guys are in the Midwest. There's a guitar at Dave's that I am lusting over. They have had it for sale for quite a while. It's on Reverb but there's no "Make an Offer" option. Are the prices at Dave's negotiable? Is it worth calling them up and making an offer? Thanks!

So I have two of these and at this point really need none. For the last two years, I did about 35 shows each year playing bass for a good friend of mine, but it's over. I have a new music project playing guitar. Sold my Harke bass amps and now I need to make these basses go away. I paid $800 for one and $775 for the other three years ago, but it would appear that the market for these is now softer, so how about $600.00 shipped? I had this up for sale here last summer for $800 but have been doing a lot of traveling. took them down and now just want them gone. Long scale, five-string, Bartolini pickups, neck-through construction, three-way active e/q, maple, mahogany with a walnut cap, rings like a piano. I have received more compliments from audience members about the look of these instruments than any of my guitars over my 50-year performing career. greenmanstone at gmail

Isn't that the guitar model that they drove over a whole bunch of them with an excavator?

I just came across this gem. https://www.amazon.com/Marshall-4-4-High-Capacity-Fridge/dp/B07SDLMSD5/ref=asc_df_B07SDLMSD5?mcid=0ee9584f01563109b71eb299f41ad19d&hvocijid=4288327968515757321-B07SDLMSD5-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=692875362841&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4288327968515757321&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033632&hvtargid=pla-2281435179098&psc=1

Four guitars landed here in '24 but no Hamers. Yamaha Asuka, Yamaha SA2200, Nash S-57, and a custom Lashing V. All are killer.

Hi Saul, I have the ashtray bridge and cover that came off of this Tele. Years ago, I replaced the bridge with a chromed machined unit with six saddles like what's on a Tele Deluxe. You can have it for free if you pick up the shipping. Let me know if you want it, Cam

I have used Boss AD-5 preamps for years. I am sure there's something newer that would work even better, but I have two of these and love them. A buddy of mine uses the Fishman Aura with his acoustic rig.

The three holers have the Kaman/Ovation piezo bridge, the later Duotone Customs have a bridge called a Kynar under the saddle.

I am glad the surgery went smoothly. You probably have some restrictions on how much weight they want you to lift post-op. I had neck surgery to remove a benign tumor from the top of my spine about seven years back. The surgeon told me he didn't want me to lift over eight pounds for three weeks. Without missing a beat I asked him "How am I gonna take a leak?" He thought that was pretty funny.

Post the oldest picture of you playing a Hamer. In the summer of 1978 I went to work for Bandstand East Music in Bellevue, Washington. The following year we took in a '79 Sunburst and I fell in love and bought it. That same year, I ordered a Standard directly from Hamer and got it in the spring of 1980. I wound up working music retail till '86. So this picture of me with my Sunburst is from 1979. The picture with my Standard is from 1980. No competition, but let's see some pictures of you and your first Hamer (or it didn't happen).

Duotones are awesome! I have owned four and still have a three-holer. The ideal setup for me is to run the magnetic pickups through my pedalboard into my amp and the piezo through an acoustic preamp / D.I. and then into the P.A.. With the right preamp, you can dial in a pretty usable acoustic sound. You can blend your electric and acoustic levels right on the guitar. A true Swiss Army Knife guitar. As stated above, Geoff Hartwell can give you his 2 cents. He's a pro who plays Duotones.
