Keller chapifornian or whatever we wanna call it...

Done

I have played many EBMM guitars and own several. They are very much like Hamer. Underrated, excellent quality USA made guitars.

Sucky. Hoping things turn up. And justice is served.

Got my signed copy today! Kudos!

If I recall, that cali was in for a refin. Not a new build.

Is that Lou's? - Austin yup

Is that a KK?

Nothing says 'bad ass' quite like that. And the name is menacing is well.

It's Matthi - plural form

My humble JP collection:

Aztec Gold is an awesome color, though they (Hamer) shot it darker in the mid-90s. That's my preference. The later stuff is more yellow than orange hue.

It's hard getting things to sound good everywhere. You need to mix on a pair of good flat response studio monitors. If you like, we can have you export the tracks and I can take a crack at mixing it for you. Maybe do a song at a time. Hit me up via email if you like.

Sounds good. My suggestion is to pan things more. Sounds like you have things straight up. Things will open up and sound wider.

I'm also in for a signed copy.

HBD. Platform boots are in the mail.

Gif of all the guitars you've burned through?

Unfortunate news! I've had my share of cool Hamers and was lucky to order a few new. Sadly the 'Twas a good day for ...' posts have slowly dropped off and now they will eventually cease. Let's hope that the brand can come back in some capacity soon, though the glory days are over. I'm thankful I was able to get to the factory and see the amazing craftsmanship up close and meet so many cool HFC'ers. I look forward to hanging out with folks in the future here and elsewhere.

Inlays are off... the guitar. Get out of the water!

Clear pickguard for optimum paintjob showing goodness

I've been using the Axe-FX (ultra and now the II) for 4 years now. I go straight to PA and carry a midi pedal for switching patches when needed. I've gotten a lot better at dialing up sounds and it's not that hard to dial in a virtual effects chain that you need. There are endless possibilities and the next update looks pretty sweet. As far as variety, the Axe FX II has over 70 amp models, lots of IRs and the ability to create your own, Tone Matching - so you can capture any amp you like. 20 or so OD pedals, delay (analog and digital models), Chorus, Flange, Univibe, etc. etc. You would spend just as much getting your pedalboard in order with stand alone pedals.

Come to the dark side, thin necks are where it's at

With musicians, it comes down to availability. If you are touring you need to find someone who is not. Sarzo, Blotzer, etc fit the bill now. I don't expact any will be perm, sans Kelly who is not a great player, but an old friend of GT.

I knew it was a sign of things to come when Geoff said in an interview several years ago: "I'm not really a metal guy"
