  1. Update. I followed a combination of Marks advice from Victoria and the advice given here. I removed back panel, hit the jacks with deoxit and compressed air then removed and reseated the tubes. Most of the noise is gone. I don’t ever remember this amp being quiet like a modern amp so this may be the baseline. Any other Deluxe or clone owners want to share their experiences as far as noise…..
  2. Thanks for the replies everyone. Going at it this weekend with deoxit and compressed air per mark at Victoria. Will report back.
  3. The title says it all 2001 Vicky 20112 low hours. Recently fired it up and it’s noisy as hell. Did the tube tap, etc nothing obvious. Is there anyone within driving distance of Hartford you would recommend to go through the amp? thanks in advance
  4. It does not look like a stained top in the most recent pics…..wow. Hamer had a pretty decent stash of figured wood (thank you Frank U) and that billet was in the 99th perecentile. Does the top visually “flip” when you move it around under a light?
  5. Good Lord that must have been a custom order for someone. Sweet. Congratulations. Edited to add…. My money says we built it for Ed Roman. Curious…..if you move it around in the light does the top “flip”? I’m betting it doesn’t. We built a few for Ed around that time with ridiculous tops and gold hardware. The tops were also stained to make the figure pop which Hamer typically didn’t do.
  6. I can’t say I dislike the modification. I was just wondering why it looked different. I’m very grateful Greg spec’d these the way he did and I’m very happy to own one. I would have absolutely LOVED if they did at least one of these with a “Triple Threat” neck with thinner headstock but it never happened.
  7. Thank you. Lol. I drew that pick guard. I guess he didn’t like my work. Greg added a few items after they shipped. For instance all shipped from factory with Wilky wraparounds and standard GC1 case but many were sold with a vintage or repro bridges and checkerboard cases.
  8. Regarding the Daytona. I have no knowledge of that particular guitar just a general question to HFC because my memory is fading on some of these things….. Was Seafoam green offered in 1993 (which is the neck serial number). It seemed like most of the early ash bodied/maple neck Daytonas were 2 tone Sunburst or transparent colors. I thought the solid colors came with the switch to alder which came later. Does anyone else have an opaque color Daytona from 1993?
  9. My guess is original/not a refin. The edges of the headstock look too crisp for refin.
  10. Does anyone have more photos of that 97 Vector? The listing has been pulled. I was looking for a picture of the back of the body……I suspect it has a lot of streaking based on the front picture.
  11. Greg spec’d the guitar to use lightest body wood available. I was the one that actually selected the bodies in the woodshop. The bodies from the TV run all came from the same board.
  12. Oh man……I’ve got a cherry one from the second run but I’m very fond of those first few in TV Yellow. Great guitar!
