Guitar Gear Forum

On Thursday my Hamer Mirage II arrived. After an initial scare (due to common Hamer neck joint issue), and a pickup swap, I'm really starting to dig this guitar. Just sounds great and plays easily.

Then on Saturday my drummer brings over a CIJ Jazzmaster that he's had laying around for 14 years, mainly in the closet in a gig bag. Currently, it's still his, but it's on loan and will probably be mine eventually.

Next up, I've been looking at Reverend Sensei guitars a lot lately and one popped up on CL. Some crafty trading later, and I've managed to snag 3 guitars in 4 days. I believe that's a new record for me.

Reverend sensei is one I have been looking at for a longgg while. Congrats on your addiction.

You are a god damned lunatic

Text me what you traded for the Reverend...had no idea that was going down today

Sweet geets Matt!

Hey, I'm trying to sell some, but no one on CL is buying. Put 5 on CL, then buy 3 more... isn't that how everyone does it?

Awesome! HNG(s)W!

So glad you stuck with the Hamer. How's the Custom Custom working out with the stock neck pickup?

The Custom Custom is a great fit for the guitar. Turns out, it was a JB in the bridge. The 59 in the neck works great with the CC.

It now sounds a lot like my LP with the CC, but with less weight. Thanks for the recommendation, luckily, I had one in my box of used parts.

Someday, you will have to declare yourself a guitar store, Matt.

I definitely have a better inventory than some guitar shops I've been to.

Badass fiddles man.

Glad you decided to keep the Hamer - I'm a total Hamer fanboy

Awesome! I dig the neck '59 in my Studio, but I didn't know how it would jive with the koa top. Yeah, I lubs me some CC in that koa/mahog guitar. I cannot imagine what Hamer might've been thinking, putting a JB in that thing! Yikes!

Nice rig! Congrats on the new axes!
