NGD.... a trip down Memory Lane....

[Telerocker]

Zebra RiffRaffs will look and sound nice. Just think over if you're not gonna sell the guitar after installing them. If it's not a keeper I'd stick to Dimarzio's for now.

[Philly Q]

Nah, it'll be a keeper! 

This is like going back in time to January 1982, when 17-year-old Philly Q sent a cheque for £250 to some small music shop in Yorkshire (no internet or even phone banking then!) to buy that original Hamer.  It's pure nostalgia, but no way am I selling this.

Now if only I could get my black Vector back somehow....!

I often wondered what you were talking about with the "old Hamer I sold" tales... (not being that familiar with them)

... I can see it now :D

Nice one. I know exactly what you mean now

Find those bits, get it done, post some pics (and then put it under the bed :lol: )

Just to clarify (for anyone who gives a monkey's!  :lol: ) about my old Hamers, I still have my original Special - it is, literally, under the bed.

The one I sold - so very foolishly - was the black Vector, which was a wonderful guitar, I can still remember how good it sounded (before I put EMGs on it...)

There have been several other Hamers over the years, but these were the ones I had back in the '80s.

Sorry the picture's so murky:

[Philly Q]

OK then.....


...... Let's get ready to rumble!   :twisted:

[WezV]

eek - router plus kahler!   please say its just the parts from the old one in those boxes

[Philly Q]

 :lol:

The Kahler box just has some random spare parts in it.  I do have some actual Kahlers - somewhere - but couldn't be bothered to dig them out.

The router box... has my router in it.  But that's the closest it'll be getting to this guitar.  :lol:



Haven't located the old Hamer parts yet, my flat is a total mess.  I need to sort out a few other things first before getting to this.  I wonder if I should put a set of strings on it in the meantime, just to keep the neck under the right tension?  :?

Buried in the garden perhaps?

Ian, Ian.... I never set foot in my garden!  Do you take me for some kind of outdoorsman?

I wouldn't be surprised if you had loads of lawnmowers in various states of completeness hanging around in your shed.  :lol:

Well, I could never decide if I was a Qualcast man or a Flymo man....

Believe it or not, I did something today.  I put up some shelves!

(It did take me a full week to fit the wall brackets, saw the planks, straighten the ends with my router.... and about six trips to Homebase to get different types and sizes of cavity wall fixings....  :| )
