I used to own a Hamer guitar...was very nice..had lighted led's in the top of the neck for fret markers. A "friend" borrowed it and that was the last I ever saw of it.... They make nice stuff.
Come to think of it, another "friend" made a 1977 acoustic Gibson Dove of mine dissapear too!
I play bass a little but only have a cheap Yamaha in which I installed active EMG's into. The Best Bass I ever played was my friend's Aria Pro...I forget the model..was one piece body/neck and had EMG's best active pickups and EQ (at the time, 1989 ish) That thing had balls and sounded perfect plugged direct into a board, no EQ.
I like Sonar a lot so far. I wish I had more time to play around with music .
