    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. 08CA3A84-F32A-4D62-8D2B-7EEE53141D77.jpeg830192A1-863B-4260-8490-3A3D6246462F.jpeg

    Really nice! I love that color!

    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.

  3. 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.

  5. This is a very cool guitar.   But I have many cool guitars.  Some need to go.

    $SOLD (plus shipping cost) to HFC supporting members  

    I “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.

    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.  F2B95E14-450D-4816-8C4B-D14944B85424.jpeg

    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.
