Steve, if I remember correctly, carving the undersides of the top started after Hamer moved to Connecticut. The earlier f hole guitars were routed in the f holes to give the appearance of carve. If you slide your finger around in there you will see what I mean.

As for the hiss, I find draping a heroin addled 13 year old classical composer over the speaker works wonders... That is hilarious! Salem...I don't notice any considerable hiss whn I tweak my controls. Have you tried to contact Mark at Victoria? He is always been very helpful when I have...

Salem, Have a look at this interview with Neil Young. Maybe that will help. http://www.thrasherswheat.org/ptma/equip.htm I also have a Victoria 20112. I noticed the 2nd channels effect on the channel you are using varies from guitar to guitar (seems more noticeable with humbucker guitars)...

I paid $750 for my T51 a few years ago (and I knew that I paid more than market value at the time) and it was worth every penny. I wouldn't sell it for twice what I paid. I have to ask why someone would want to swap out a neck on a T51. Yes they are a 1 piece Fender design and prone to...

Questions for BCR Greg, My cherry Jr (I bought from Sir D- he bought from you)- is the pickup "Hamer original-Seymour Duncan" or Rio swaps? The thing sounds f'in great so I never messed with it. Any idea what is in there? Bob

Not my best memory but one I will NEVER forget... My dad had quadruple bypass surgery (and never made it out of the hospital). My mom, brother, sister and I shared a 24 hour shift to make sure someone was always at his side. The last conversation I had with my dad was telling him I was going...

My condolences.

I've been here since 97 (I think). Don't post that often but I have a look at the board at least once every day. I've been lurking on a few other forums lately and none of them even come close to this place!

Ummm.....Sceptor, This is the Hamer FAN Club. I think we've established that Hamer didn't make THAT. They may have have created the original instrument that morphed into that abortion.

Wow. The price dropped quite a bit from the $1299 it was listed at last week. At least the auction description has been updated to reflect what that thing actually is. It still doesn't explain how it ended up with a 3 piece back.

That is the funniest Goddamn thing I've ever read on this forum. Well done. edited to add...MCChris, that belongs on HFC T shirts, hats, mugs, picks, etc.

Block the trem. If the repair is solid I would leave the rest. At most I would sand the repair area and reshoot clear (leave the headstock face alone because of the logo). For 2 bills thats a helluva guitar. Personally, I don't mind headstock breaks if they are repaired correctly (I don't...

The serial numbers are stamped after the necks have been fretted and carved/prior to going into the spray booth (in other words- WAY before the guitars are assembled). Morningstar/Silentman- regarding the Cali assembled in 1997, I would guess that is a bolt on...Is that true???

And Shannon Tweed still looks pretty good!
