Good price and good looker, too! IF anybody anywhere snagged this, congrats!

Uncle Larry lives there....

Hooray for UPS and Congrats on an exceptional guitar, to say the least! (Had been very sorry for you between your last post and that one)

Easy answer, stoopid: These Arcanes are so cool, but pretty expensive. Unfortunately, there was only enough dough for 2 of them. So, one came to another... 😎

Just trying to outdo you!

So do I. And I have to confess, I also stole a lot of his precious pics to work as a screensaver on my Mac. 😎 Edited to add: We do need them Sharks in our little aquarium, period!

If that really MUST be, try Gauloises Blondes Bleu. Sweet Afton were fine, too, but are not produced anymore since 2011. Or try Canarian Cigars or Cigarillos (available in tout l'Europe). They're a good bit smoother and sweeter than Cuban or South American examples. But be aware of eventually getting Asthma from smoking tobacco. I got to take the spray, nowadays. But better try staying nasty w/o fumes. That's a lot healthier. 😉

Nasty boys need nasty toys! At least, that was then.

My first thought, too, was: Wow! Look at THAT drummer!

Covering an Isbell-Song and just NOT simply copying it is always a good idea!

That was quick! Congrats to all parties 😉

They sound a good bit „woody“ and „throaty“ and complement that aspect of a LP Faded quite well. Not so much appropriate for playing Metal 😉

I'm into OX4s, too. I have a set of Hot Duanes in my LP Faded and a set of Rollin' Mans (Peter Green-Style) still lying around, which both are ace. They're to be had resonably priced used in British forums like http://www.thefretboard.co.uk

The news made it even into my favourite paper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, today. The author sees a certain sweetness, but also an early sharpness in Donaldson's playing, that was later musically established by James Brown's Funk. RIP, Sir.

Found it again in this ad with some weird price calculation. https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/hamer-sunburst-custom-usa-in-sammlerzustand/2910397062-74-2964

There was another one in Germany a while ago mid of August 24. The ad is deleted now. Was Nr. 2 in this post: Was a Custom with gold hardware. Differently photographed, too 😉

He was a real musical titan. They don't make them anymore today.

NGD: Green guitars sound good, too No wonder, green = yellow + BLUE! Congrats on your find, I was eying on these models, too 😉

A few weeks after Dumble's passing I came across a Blackface „Dumble“ Pedal. Quite a handsome pedal with interesting tones and possibilities, with the „authentic“ goo inside covering some crucial parts. My inquiry via British Pedal Co.'s website about the specific use of the name „Dumble“ and thereof intellectual property rights stayed unanswered until today.

Citing your own self-description (marked in honourable sparkling orange-alike):

I won't stay quiet, either: Congrats on that! One of your earlier CDs has made it into my stash across the Atlantic Ocean.

I see, you love 3-screwhole-TRCs. You're a man of taste!

@Hamer Dave Agree on Those. String. Ends. 😇 Also on the Odd One: None of my other Hamers has more than 2 TRC-screws. Odd, indeed.

Anxiously awaiting the stream/videos and said CD. Please, whoever may be involved in making these media, chime in where we can have access – very much appreciated!

It also looks like there were a 2-hole TRC as well as a bell 3-hole one. This pics shows two 78s, only 2 serial nrs. away from each other (both are Hamer Dave's). The left one was the one I snatched in Germany and sent it over the pond „back home“. All 3 screwholes in the headstock underneath were original, not any hint of a later change from 2 to 3.
