Question

Individual favorites get mentioned a lot, but I'm curious about actual guitar based preferences here, the body and bridge configuration only. All measurements are approximate, and I purposely did NOT include neck shape, color, amount of flame, inlays and binding, etc....just the basics. Pickups for the poll are the usual stock JB and '59 humbuckers, to keep electronic variances to a minimum. 'Stoptail' bridge means the stock Wilkinson bridge, TOM=stock Tune-O-Matic style. I did not include any recent models, either, just the common ones, and ONLY these three. I'm curious as to which one people would prefer over everything else, all else being equal. No 'what, if's, and how comes' on the poll itself, though feel free to comment as usual. I didn't mention TonePros stuff as they're SUPPOSED to sound better, right? :lol:

Moderators: Please move the poll to the standard Messageboard, whichever you feel is most appropriate. Thanks!

If I really get to choose then I prefer a Studio with Hamers Sustainblock bridge.

Wraparound is cool, but TOM's do fine for me - and less hassle to set them up right.

edit: and to choose a least favorite Hamer. Damn, that is impossible. I'll take them all, lol.

^ this.

to edit thou, I do prefer an ABR-1 over the TOM in most cases (standards)

Sustainblock bridge is second up.

Been over a week, only 12 votes. Difficult to see a clear winner (stoptail Studio wins, unless you add the Studio with TOM and the FM with TOM together, then it's a dead heat) or a clear loser (even spllit there), though it's definitely NOT what I'd call definitive results. Kinda surprises me that the stoptail Studio has the individual edge, though, since they don't seem to demand high prices on eBay. Or maybe it's BECAUSE of that. :lol: You all tell me!
