Rick's Hamer Day Tripper Special question


Recommended Posts

I forget, but isn't that one the Brad Delp guitar? A Sunburst too-very cool!

I believe you're right about that one.....wasn't there only two that were made?

There were a few others, IIRC.

Well I've been trying hard to find details on this guitar and so far here is the best I've found. It's Day Tripper live from Chicago 1981.

The Beatles is upside down on the back (frame 1:39 and 1:51)

We frame by framed viewed the video today and found there is something on the neck from the 12th fret to the body and there are names on the bass side horn, so help a brother out with any live photos of even if you think you can remember what's on the back of the neck.

Looks great, Roy!

Are the fingerboard letters inlaid?

Nope they are painted. Rick said they were "stickers" on the real one and are coming off. So looking at the photo in his book you can see there are parts of them missing, so we duplicated the missing parts of the letters.
