HAMERMAN

Seems more like a like a Chap than a Cali to me.

I had no idea that was a cover! I have never seen Sweet live but was lucky enough to see The Atomic Playboys live once at Toad's place in New Haven CT.

My main amp is a GK MB212-II combo and I am very happy with it. The 2-12 setup gives me everything I want and the whole rig only weighs 41 pounds. I think the 12" is a perfect compromise of the low end of a 15" and the snap of a 10". I am a fan of the "modern" GK sound and this does that well, I am not sure how it would be if you are going for more of a vintage sound. The only gripe I could see is if you want an effects loop since this doesn't have one. I sometimes run an Pod Go before mine and do not miss the effects loop.

I absolutely love the way this thread derailed!

Steinberger. I greatly appreciate that for small companies (compared to Fender and Gibon) Hamer and Steinberger did a good job of offering left handed versions of their instruments.

I read this one and really enjoyed it. Not too much detail on the music (playing) side of things but lots of detail on the music industry aspects of things. Noel does a good job of trying to tell the story fairly which is impressive since it could have easily been a "this is why these guys are jerks" rant.

Strange indeed!

Extra funny given that it's literally printed all over the guitar! 🙂

It's the red knobs on the one on the left that make them sound different! 🙂

If Evel Knievel played a Tele it would look like that!

Awesome work! I have no idea how accurate your sunburst is or isn't in Fender terms but I can say I definitely like it better than most Fender sunbursts I see.

Cool to see builds like this! It took me a while to figure out what the slots were in the Strat body template.

Oh my that is beautiful!

I'm liking these! What's the reason for drawing the control cavity (I assume) on the top?

If you make a guitar called "Pinky" can "The Brain" be far behind? :-)
