The entire cast from "The Commitments"!

Early natural T-51 bought new from Make'N Music. Antiquity in bridge position - lushious. Weight of solid ash - atrocious. Missing my first Tele - calamartious!

My first tube amp was a Bravo 112. Killer tone for 300 bones. I remember mentioning it to a salesman in the '80's and he looked at me like I just said "Ack"!

Mine were in the $400 range brand new. When I saw what they went for on the bay I pulled them and they sold for $655. They're nice, but not that nice. If you must have them google Tom and order your own set. I was surprised when they came in two weeks.

Wow, seeing that guestbook triggered some great memories. Jeff Talley (somewhere around 18 from the top, I was 20) used to bring some cool and rare Hamers to the Detroit show when it was at the fairgrounds. Hamer also had a few awesome displays around the same time. Sadly the show has been reduced to flea-market status. What a drag...

Been watching Mayer on the Direct TV freeview. Don't know the song name, but one sounded way too close to "People Get Ready" without any acknowledgment. He does have a talented drummer behind a large Ludwig kit.
