Well Mike why didn't you tell me, I've been using this for a doorstop around here....... Glad the guitar is working out for you. Love the bartolinis and the concentric knob, nice touch!!! Peter

If that had a toggle switch instead of the blade style, you might have been waking up tomorrow wondering where it had disappeared to...

+ a bazilion! That's the first non-white Custom I've ever seen.

That is a lovely guitar. I have been looking for a nice Cali Custom for a while now.

well, you guys missed out. Both fantastic guits, But that P90 sunburst.... omg. No words can... maybe one, Amazing.

So I paid a visit to murkat today to let him check out the twins and to also do a p/u swap in the HB model, went with dimarzio 36th ann PAF's for both neck and bridge to be as period correct as possible. also swapped out the knobs for black gibson speed knobs, just like on the early models in the late 70's. my goal was to make it as close to the original as possible, i think it turned out most excellent

Arnie, Thank you for the details about the luthiers at Hamer. Also thanks for the tips on the pics. I remember getting an account or whatever at photobucket likely years ago. Haven't used it in ages. Have to do it again I suppose. What I have learned about my Hamer, thanks to all the great posts by all of you is, Having one of these amazing guitars, let alone a unique, custom, top-of-the-line ArtUlt is a priviledge. Obviously the guitar market has not woken up the the quality and pleasure of a Hamer and as such, the market value is depressed. Should something happen to the company and production guidelines as we know them should stop, then I'm sure the value would skyrocket. Just like a famous artists's paintings can go crazy in value, after their death. In the meantime, I pulled the ad again and the ArtUlt stays with me. That's where she belongs.

Shazaam! Plek'd even... I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue... And to stop buying shtuff in order to save for a custom order...
