Creating A Hamer: a behind the scenes look


Recommended Posts

awesome pictures! I love the in progress ones. It's awesome to see how a guitar really takes shape. damn shame that with things they way they are, I'll never get a chance to have a custom build made. oh well.

Yeah I know.

The whole reason for this thread was for all of us to enjoy works in progress past.

Anyone who has pics, please contribute.

Every Watson I have ever seen has had the three a side Hamer headstock

Check out the Cali in the rack. Who has that one?

Nope.

It was a new Cali.

Mahogany body with a maple cap.

It MAY have been a "test" piece, since it didn't have a Custom Order tag, like every single other instrument on the line had.

I've always felt that a public display of custom projects in process would be great marketing for smaller shops, and not just in the guitar world.

Bicycles, furniture/cabinet making, gun-smiths, amplifiers, motorcycles. Half of the love someone invests in owning something unique is watching it come to life in the hands of the craftsmen/women who are creating it.

The internet has made that very easy to do.

Love's B-minor, and turns every finish into glass!

Yes, sir. When i got it. the finish was a frickin' mirror (especially the headstock). I talked with Greg and had a pretty cool CO in mind because of it.

Then, my economy went to jack...

I'm going with Tom, but i've been well known to not know what the hell i'm talking about.

This is the GTO forum, right?

I think Tom is heavier set and did a lot of the inlay work and neck carves.

I think
