Guitarist
Mesa-ologist
Ok, I had no idea what the hell this is telling me, but it was awfully strange. We went inside a Guitar Center and I'm looking around, I see the usuals - the Les Paul's I play, along with the MESA's and Marshalls. Didn't bother today. I walk around and I see a natural Hamer hanging on the wall, with about 3 of the same models right behind it. Strange, oh well, WTF. I actually thought to myself, I hear so much praise about Hamers from the SD Forum, I might as well try it, see if I like it. Well, it was shaped terribly awkward, almost like an uspide down heart with a headstock. But thinner. The carved top was something else...
Anyway, I sat down with it on, I believe it was a Fender Twin Reverb, put it on the clean channel and rested the guitar on my lap. It was then that my left hand found it's way to the fretboard only to find not the traditional fretboard!! But an insanely alien fretboard! It was the traditional 21 frets, but the insides of the frets were all colored abalone and there were about 5 colors within each given fret, breaking apart from eachother from left to right.
Whenever you would touch a color it would give you a note and when you slid it up the colors, it would begin to raise up a semitone like a slide guitar and make an unbelievable trill, if I can remember. It was a WILD GUITAR and a WILD DREAM, and it sported the Hamer Name. Even reading this, it doesn't make the littlest of sense. Anyway, I was wondering what's...well, wrong with me!
