Northfield Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I spend so much time on each one of these that I have a hard time sending them out once they're done, but I relented and sent this one out last week. It landed with its new owner yesterday and I don't think he's an active member here, so I thought I'd share. The natural back and sides really worked on this one - to me it's a nice balance between classic and modern vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I really hate when people have the body and sides tinted or black. That's just perfect, Mike. I can't wait for the blonde one with the wrap-around and, hopefully, a top just like that! Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That top is just off-the-hook! The whole guitar is.....this is silly. They all look so perfect. Not just 0006. The others are all crazy good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBraz Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 What a lovely looking guitar. The colour and finish on that one is superb. Really great contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamerhead Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Mike makes it mighty hard not to jump on that bandwagon. No one else could have taken the best of what Hamer was and improved on it, pushing it forward while creating his own identity. Just a masterful job all around, Mike. Stunning.

Just not a fan of opaque body and neck finish with dark blue or black translucent top finishes. PRS was famous for that. The guitar is gorgeous and the natural back and sides is exactly what I want for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like trans black to me. And if so, trans black done very well... I've seen some really *bad* trans black guitars. It's a hard finish to do right.

TobiTill Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Wow, That's another stunning one that will make me go back to admire the small details on the ones posted before. What's the depth/thickness at the rim/center on those? (If those details have been posted before, my apologies for not paying attention.) These posts have taken the place of "It was a good day for..." for me. On a sidenote: I first wondered about the placement of the knobs. Now it makes perfect sense to me (with me being used to both Hamer and Gibson V/V/T/T controls). Ok, I'll shut up now and enjoy. Cheers, Tobias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
