Wow, awesome find! I agree with the idea that this is a perfect opportunity to go with a finish that you can't normally get on this model.

Wow, 3 months turnaround time is awesome!

Do you have any pics of your past builds?

Wow, much improved!

Way to pull through!

I may be imagining things, but sometimes it seems that polishing frets brightens up the tone too.

LOL, no way!

Tasty as always. I just wish they had gotten his direct sound rather than using the camera mic:

WTH doesn't even begin to cover it! Sheesh.

Congrats! I can't wait for moments like that.

I dunno, these seem like pretty damn good outings: Scarlett Johansson

The spray's no doubt been 'shopped in, which adds to the overall asshattery on display in that image. How sure are we that it's been photoshopped? I would've thought those kinds of shenanigans would be beneath Jol. Maybe he's spraying it with some kind of coolant to artificially age it?

I just had a look at Jol's blog. He says "Serving the client is only one side of the coin; just as fitting my designs into a template dictated by a company policy isn't my priority any longer." I don't get it. Who was dictating company policy to him?

What happened to the flyspeck white Standard after it was returned?

Ouch, get well soon, Brooks.

What you call the chord depends on what its role is in the song. The OP said that the chord is being used as an A chord, so we should take his word for it.

Tasty as always.

The way I was taught, A6 is assumed to have an F# in it, Am6 is assumed to have an F in it.

Thumb the F# would be my guess. If A is the root, then I would call it Am#6add4.

Sounds like a sweet project. White with gold hardware works in a slightly girly showbiz kind of way: If you want a trem, I'd recommend a Stetsbar over a Bigsby, having owned both.

My band is in the process of assembling our own background videos for our stage show. I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of the public domain sources you mention. PM would be fine. Again, nice work!

You really swung for the fences, very cool stuff! Agreed that the guitar synth sounds are great. I can only imagine how much work that must have been. How did you put the video together?

I still have some attachment to the brand, even though I don't own any Hamers currently. My tastes and priorities have changed, but I still think Hamer is a great brand and hope it survives this era.

Larrivee.

For that kind of money, I would hold out for something old if you can. My favorite would be my friend's '70s (I think) Martin D-28.
