This is a tough one...some great songs mentioned. I know it said pick one but since there isn't a vote count or anything, here are some that come to mind... Centerfold, J. Geils Band 867-5309, Tommy Tutone Wake Me Up (Before You Go-Go), Wham Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Cyndi Lauper Rock...

That is F-ing awesome! Really nice work! Glad to hear things in your life are going well too. Had a question for you. What is the pole spacing on the pickups? I am replacing mine and was just double checking. When I meausre the pole spacing on the pickups in the guitar right now they seem...

That looks sweet! Congrats on getting the paint/clear done. I know that must feel good. As others have said, be sure to take some action shots as well when you get the chance. Take it easy!

Glad your back! Good to hear that progress is being made and that you are happy with it. You should be. It's looking great, and you have certainly put forth alot of effort. Again, don't feel bad about posting in-process pics, it just helps everyone appreciate the final product even more and...

Merry Christmas!!!

When can we expect some more updates? I can't wait!!!

Here's my SS1 Custom. Sorry for the poor pics. Couldn't agree more about the Boomers being such a unique Hamer touch. Thanks to whomever ordered this guitar from the factory! Oh yeah, I just acquired a Floyd Rose so the Kahler copy in the pic will be history soon. I'll post more in the...

That is looking great! Really sweet work on the big signature. The attention to detail is really impressive. Can't wait to see it when it's all done. Don't worry about showing it with orange peel, it just shows how much work you have and continue to put into it. Again, looking great!

That is looking great! You are really doing some nice work on this. I can't wait to see more pics.

Currently playing through a Komet 60W head into a mid-70's front load Hiwatt 4x12 w/ Fanes. Usually just straight into the amp although I do have a Matchless Hotbox if I wanna mess with the sound some. I'll try and get some pics taken and post here soon. I've also got a Hiwatt 200 head w/ the...

Is that yours? If so, please give us some history on the guitar and how you aquired it. It looks like it's in great condition.

Hamerjunkie, That is cool. What was the original color of your guitar, can/could you tell? Does anyone know how many maple neck SS models were made? Just rough percentage, I mean. Good luck with that. You should start your own post showing the teardown and build up of your ax as well...

Man, now I gotta ask how the Hamers compare to the Washburn. Sounds like you've got the collection I want. Also, please post some pics of your SS-80 (amongst all the other picture requests I've already made, sorry). Do you also have one of the SS3s I've heard about? I've never seen a pic of...

Thanks again. I remembered I had one more question (this one doesn't involve taking pictures though). You mentioned you had another SS1 (DayGlo paint) and your SS2 pictured above; how do the 2 compare with each other, both physically and aurally? I haven't come across comments or reviews that...

Thanks for helping me out. I hope I didn't ask too many questions at one time. I was just excited to see your project, and the pictures were just what I was needing in my own less ambitious restoration. If I can impose with one more request, could you take a close up shot or two of the strap...
