My non-Hamer toys this year.. 1985 Ovation Legend and a partscaster that I built..

Nice! they both sound great, but that Newport Kills!

2025 was a good year for Hamer in my house.. '93 Studio, 99 25th Anniversary, 2001 Artist Korina P90, 1996 Studio Custom

i owned an '80 that was blue, but didn't have the matching headstock. OP's is too cool! The one I had sounded killer though. It had yellowed to a greenish blue, and didn't look nearly as cool as Cornjulio's.

1989 Orville By Gibson 1996 Orville

Don't sweat it, Saul. AI will take all their jobs....

Excellent! Enjoy that one for a long time!

Very nice! I love textural type music like that. Great to hear something different. Excellent!👍

Wow. That's quite a shop. No Hamers though, so I guess I'll pass.. 😉 Thanks for posting this, Saul. Very cool.

Yeah baby! 🤘

My only gripe is why do a 3 piece top if you aren't going all the way with the pancake body? Not that I would want a pancake body, but I don't really want a 3 piece top either. I had a 1973 Custom fretless wonder that had 9 pieces of wood in it! 3 piece top, 5 piece back, and maple pancake veneer. I called it my Butcher Block guitar. It weighed 10lbs 10ozs.. Sounded fantastic, but I found a lighter Standard that sounded just as good.

I just put one of these Guyker's on my Epiphone Wildkat. It was way better than I thought it would be.. I figured for $20.00 I'd give it a shot. So far, so good.. https://www.amazon.com/Roller-Saddle-Bridge-Replacement-Electric-Guitar/dp/B09PRQSBDC/ref=asc_df_B09PRQSBDC?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80058307777658&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=135063&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583657840910932&psc=1

If one of your other two that you were messaged about don't work out, shoot me a message. I have a wide spaced original one from 1980 that I could be talked into parting with.. it's the wider spaced one not attached to the guitar.

Sorry for the late reply, Veatch. That one is a 1965, with '64 specs. It has the wider neck than the later '65's, and '66's. And another nice thing about it, is it never had a vibrola installed, so it actually stays in tune!

P90's are OK, I guess..

Maybe it's the Epiphone IBG Billy Gibbons signature model "Pearly Gates" model. It wouldn't surprise me if they came out with one.

Many sellers put up a stupid price just so you'll look at it. Then, almost all of these auctions say "or best offer" under the price. It does work sometimes on the unaware that will throw an offer of 50% off of asking, and they think they're getting a deal. Or like Kizanski said, here comes the shill bid to get the juices flowing, and some dummy may bite.. Ahhhh, good old ebay..

This would be sacrilege if it wasn't so good. I assume it's AI, in which case, I'll see myself to the door..

Here I sit 50 years after my first Aerosmith concert, when I had just turned 16 and was able to drive on my own. I remember it being very loud, kinda' sloppy, and the greatest thing I had ever seen in my life! I'm just glad Joe and Brad are still here, and so am I. Rock on gentlemen!

Looks killer, Dana! I'm sure you guys were great!

Very cool! I love that record. I have two Artists, one korina, and one 25th Annivearsary. They are both killer! Now I guess I need a Custom.. 😄

Fantastic! Beautiful guitar! I'm with Kizanski, if the nut is cut well and sounds good, Rock on. I assume you have tried some Deoxit in the volume pot.You did such a nice job cleaning it, you probably know about Deoxit already. If you don't, that should cure your problem.. Enjoy that one!

So I'm not quite sure how you feel about them, Dave.. 😉 I guess you're saying there's a chance they will grow on you... 🤔

Thanks! It's pretty amazing. I'm loving it!
