  1. That is soooo nice. Congrats. I've had a few Limited Edition Hamers before, but the Triple Threat is the only Hamer I truly regret never owning. I am Verde with envy.
  2. That's the really cool thing about Juniors - a lot of people don't get it until they get it. Then it's a game-changer. Looks pretty sweet. Congrats!
  3. I have an MIK Slammer Series 5-string that works pretty well. It was cheap, too!
  4. At first I thought it was bad Photoshop, but jeezus - WTFF?? But I kinda want to see the needle-nose fingertips that can turn those knobs.....
  5. How many you want? Mine are analog, though. Digital is for pussies.
  6. I think they are, Mike. I've seen them before.
  7. That is pretty much what you got from Hamer - a variety. It just depended on the day. John's are absolutely accurate and on par with what Hamer used.
  8. Way back when, I encountered at least 3 different types of saddles. There is a fair amount of variation between them (I assume each were made by different manufacturers). It really depends on which version John chose to replicate. I made the ones in the drawing, as they matched my '81 Special. And if you notice on the diagram above, Hamer had the string-thru-the-body holes at .400, while the intonation screw holes are at .375. That's not too noticeable in the center of the bridge, but gets progressively worse as you move toward both 'E' strings. That was one deviation I made: the intonation screw holes are at .400 to line up with the string-thru-the-body holes. It made more sense (to me).
  9. To answer the question: .550" nominal. The Mann units are extremely accurate, probably ± .005 on all dimensions.
  10. I hope this helps: Bruce919 supplied me with these (Thanks, Matt!).
  11. $350. Actually, $1200 - $2000, depending on condition and if the OHSC is included. Nice-looking guitar.
  12. Late entry - my wife got me this for Christmas: ...and a pic of the aforementioned Squier Tele (it's sparkly!):
