There’s been a few scammy Hamer USA postings lately on eBay. There one for a standard that keeps popping up.

I can see the color. It's like it's barely there, but I can see it. It actually looks great that way.
Yeah. It shows up more in the booth. I’ll have to get a full sunlight picture. Whenever that magical orb shows up again in the NW.

That picture belongs in their customer builds database!!!
Thanks. I love surf green also. Even painted my race bike the same color last year. No one else rocks that color at the track.

Finished the sanding and buffing on this Precision Guitar kit Junior last night. I even made a tortoise celluloid pickguard. Assembled and strung it up. I still need to properly dial in the nut and level the frets but had do give it a run through.
The Gravelin P90 is excellent. Exactly what I wanted. I told him I wanted a low wind (like another p90 guitar I’ve had) and twangy/telecasterish. He delivered.

3 times in the past year or 3 times over the past 20 years? Just curious as The HFC has been around a while.

the better Gibson DC !
Damned why not in EU....
Who says it can’t be in the EU? I thought cites had an exemption for guitars now. If you want to pay the shipping and import duties it could be yours.

Also comes with a hard case buts not a Hamer case. It’s some off brand no name case

This is a very cool guitar. But I have many cool guitars. Some need to go.
$SOLD (plus shipping cost) to HFC supporting membersI “rescued” this Hamer from Craigslist and put it back to mostly stock spec. I replaced the knobs, metal pickup rings, with what it should have like stock and got a bullet truss rod cover and bought some Schallers tuners to put back in it instead of the cheesy off brand locking tuners it had. That being said there are some extra holes from the other tuners.
pros: looks awesome and plays awesome. Wraptail. Great piece of wood. Not a skinny neck like earlier hamers. But not as thick as the junior or the silver studio I had. Medium? It’s almost the same as the Vintage carve on my studio custom which is less than the junior. Seth lover Seymour Duncan pickups though someone added a coil tap and push pull pots. Don’t have the original pots.
cons:
some lacquer lifting at the fretboard and some on the back of the neck (like little dots there). lots of small dings on the edges. Definitely a played guitar that is nearing 30 years old.

Perfect for a solid finish. White with black pickguard and then beat to hell thru years of honest use (not abuse) would be killer.
It’s already surf green. I have a black pick guard but also bight some actual celluloid tortoishell pick guard material. I think that combo will be great. We’ll see

Note that this was a clearance item from them due to the knots in the body wood.

Wow that's nice looking. 5.5 lbs with a fat D? Even better lol. Nicely done sir.
I'm interested to see how that precision guitars kit works out. There's a single cut junior with the phone pole neck that keeps trying to fall into my cart. There's a Gravelin P90 here that needs a worthy home...
Should turn out great. I have 2 others already. But you never know? I did put it together before paint to make sure I don’t invest the time in the finish if there is something glaringly wrong.

Very nice build! It's a Tele, so dings do come with the territory...after all, Teles are meant to be used. What kind of wood did you use for the body?
Cheap ass paulownia. Mistake number one. I didn’t realize how damn soft this “hard”wood is. Pain to work with pain to grain fill.
On the plus side this thing weighs 5.5 lbs with the strap on it and it sounds great acoustically.- 3

Well that was quick. My wife wanted to know why I was laughing so loud this morning. While trying to take some sunlit glamour shots of this I dropped my phone and put a nice dent and some scratches in the finish. Doh. Well at least it’s played grade now.

Beauty! Now what's going to keep you off the streets, with this project finished?
Well there’s another neck done so we need another body to be built.
and maybe this surf green jr (precision guitar kit) that is almost done with clear coats. It has a custom wound Gravelin ready for it.- 6
