Not made in, made by. Maricella Juarez was a winder forever at the duncan factory and now leads the custom shop. Older duncans with a model number then "J" were wound by her.

As mentioned above, neck tenon that is tight as a drum, thick maple cap, and Juarez wound Duncan '59 N (some duncanites on the Duncan forum believe that pickups wound by MJ, now at their custom shop, have a little extra something. I don't know if they do but it matters to some).

Yeah it's hard to really capture it exactly, it's much more vibrant in the room with it. The complexity and 3d-ness of the top is nearly impossible to capture with a camera, the figuring is some of the most complex I've ever seen. There are things going on at a number of different levels, not...

Going to post a couple more pics when I can get my wife to do them to show: 1) This is a "long neck tenon" guitar, and unlike a Gibson long tenon, which is a thin tenon in a big slot with a huge dab of tite-bond (kind of like throwing a hotdog down a hallway), this tenon/body joint under the...

1992 Hamer USA Sunburst, with OHSC, excellent condition. No Hameritis (i.e. no finish lifting like a lot of these 90s Hamers have), Honduras mahogany neck & body with stunning arched flamed maple top. Fast 60’s neck that is super stable, I used to keep 13s on this guitar with no problems...

I think I already emailed you on TGP about the FM Special and I'm just waiting for return contact to set up the sale.

If mine wasn't the exact same color, I'd grab it. Still tempting. I sent the link to someone I know though.

Yeah crazy. Everyone around these parts knows you should never pay more than $350 for a USA Hamer, shipped with OHSC.

The issue with Floyd nuts is that they arent machined very well, and pretty much never match the radius (actual, not claimed radius) properly. I'm one of a very few people in the country that will cut the slots and radius a Floyd nut, but I don't do it cheap. Not easy to do that to hardened...

Yes it is. I have yet to see any guitar from any maker with a nut cut properly at the factory, and "factory setup" is an oxymoron. Also, 99% of manufacturers use crappy high friction nut material that is unusable for tuning stability on an electric guitar.

Bad QC? Really? That sounds like internet hogwash to me. I work on the things for a living and every Gibson I've seen made in the last few years has been a great to exceptional guitar, with outstanding quality fretwork. Yes you have to ditch the cheap "corian" nut and get a setup, but that...

The ones I had were '92 and '93. They were very, very muddy pickups. Maybe by '95 they were using a regular wind P-90 instead of those hot ceramic SP90-2 and 3.
