Thanks 5Stringer for the info.I worked at Hames Music in gaffney s.c. from 1990 till 2000.I was the guitar tech among other things. I would have been the one that done setup on this Sterling when it was new before putting it on display.What goes around comes around . Thanx again for the info. John Dill

John, were you working there when the EB bus came through I think in 1998 - the same night as you were having your EBMM Battle Of the Bands finals? If so I must have met you! I believe I remember you -

Dan,
If I may impose again, E54107 arrived at my door today. I got very lucky twice in one week, and am very much enjoying the new love affair with EBMM.

Oh, and Polyester Clear Coat Rocks!

Thank you so much for your time!

John, were you working there when the EB bus came through I think in 1998 - the same night as you were having your EBMM Battle Of the Bands finals? If so I must have met you! I believe I remember you -

Dan

Yes Dan i was there i remember you now.Art Mauney was the Store manager he left Hames shortly after i did.He is co owner of a small music store in Boiling Springs N.C. now Bulldog Music.

Hames Music is just a shell of what it was in the 90s.After Randall Hames the main owner died in a plane crash everything went to crap.His brothers Byron and Gilbert sold out around 2002-2003.

New owners dropped alot of lines of guitars and amps including EB Guitars among other things PA stuff etc.In the 90s Hames was ranked in the top 25 music retailers in the United States for quite a few years.We sold ALOT of EB guitars and accesories.

I used to do all the string orders can't remember the guy i dealt with at EB he used to send me some goodies when i done large string orders.I miss those days.

John Dill

 

[5Stringer]

John, It would have been Johnny Young until 1997 - then we switched territories to make room for the new kid, one Derek Brooks, who is now in charge of Artist Relations. He handled Hames until probably mid-1999.
