Murphy lab and custom paint. They scanned the original guitar to duplicate the neck. Also, a custom flight case, medallion thingy and exclusivity of the 50 pc run. Getcha pull!

GHS sells the gorgomyte.

Had a great experience in 2005 ordering my custom Dean ML thru Eddie. We went a little crazy with options then the Dean guys really delivered on that spec. He was just starting the CarIin0 line, but I thought they were mostly fugly knockoff guitars that didn't interest me. Sorry to hear about your experience.

Congrats. I have a couple...

That kind of rebuild is not without risk. I had a historic rebuilt/refinished a few years ago. The process screwed up the neck & truss rod anchor. The guy that did the work passed away and I'm stuck with this "guitar".

How about Al DiMeola or Neal Schon? Alex Lifeson. Forget that stuff. A custom 24 just looks cooler than a Monaco or Studio Custom. Who wants to blow $3200+ to spec out a SC when there's numerous ones for sale constantly? What Hamer does best is Explorers and Vees. There is not tremendous demand for those guitars anyway. What I find most puzzling about the Hamer brand is they are held in such high regard yet owners seem to flip their Hamers constantly (many thanks btw). Player X gets studio custom, its the greatest instrument ever only to be flipped 6 months later. Even zandards have passed thru multiple hands (bubs you still owe me). I don't get it. I'm glad the craftsman still have a gig. I don't see this as the end of Hamer. The break will do us all good. They'll be back doing reissues.

You still have first dibs my friend

This post reminds me of a famous saying... It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and resolve all doubt. ~Abraham Lincoln So wise beyond your years. How's your little flamefest thread over on TGP going?

Ya'll are really beginning to sound like a bunch of crybabies. It's just a picture and to someone without an axe to grind its just a pic of a guy spraying a guitar. That's all. Jol tried to elevate the brand past the three fiddy crowd, alienated some customers and was shown the door. Now he's got his own thing & clearly doesn't need to earn a living or sell a single guitar. If anything the HFC comes off a pricks for shitting on everything about a website & business in development without even seeing a completed instrument. Funny thing is if Jol builds a guitar for Tipton this forum will collectively blow its wad. Flame on.

I have a white factory Hamer. Seems like everyone got what they wanted no? Hamer is building classic shredders again & Jol is doing his own thing and seems to be setup as stay out of our hair. All we need is the economy to come back. Only then will folks be able to enjoy an uptick in the 'Twas a good day posts.
