He disliked the Producer title for himself; that's not what he was trying to do. His aim was as you stated.

I'm shocked. Literally yelled NO outloud when I first read it 10 minutes ago. Genius and dedicated so much to the art of recording.

I've bought pickups and parts from him before. It's his business. My guess is that he's had too many CLers assume he'd ship. You can't deny that is a killer top. And I've never heard any of his customers go missing. Heard.

Great Top. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/msg/d/arlington-2000-hamer-usa-studio-59-burst/7743800809.html Supposed to be an 00. Headstock back pic is too fuzzy to get a good read. In my own backyard almost. I've got 5 Studios already and I'm still tempted.

I had that syndrome with Hamers. Luckiky not all models, but ones that interested me, which -was- most. Whiffed on the 4 digit Standard and Virtuoso tho.

Yes, he sent me a PM with the answer. Thank MM.

Heh all, Have a Gravelin HB that I'm going to split, and unsure of his color codes? Great website, but can't seem to find that info there. Thanks,

Pm sent.

Thanks for the post; bought one and should have bought 2. Nice cases. Funny when it came I was puzzled; have a guitar in transit but too early. Fender branded cardboard box shipped from a Guitar Center in Richmond VA.

Just bought my first "Hamer" in ages, sans a tremplate, which has never bothered me. Hamer Slammer Series Superstatish thing (T62 flavor) with a strat trem. I just got to figure out what whammy bar to get. That does annoy me, but the price was right.

I've got one of the few (3?) Black Newports with a spruce top that has the chunkiest neck I've ever played, much less owned. Was a Greg CO in 2000 and owned by tone junkie at one time. I prefer bigger necks, but can play skinnier ones if they're shaped right.

No finger picking aloud. It's got a pickguard for a reason.

That's the second thing that caught my attention. Serial number and stated date dont match.

GMP Pawnshop with TV Jones Classic Plus in bridge, and a Wolftone custom in the neck. It crunches and it sings like no other.

I'm gonna need some documentation on that. I stand corrected. He was a much better vocalist than Teddie though.

Maybe strap the guitar higher? Or did you mean near this nut? Happy to hear the good news, Mike! That nut. It's my left wrist. Single notes are ok, but chording up there kills me.

I am so happy to see this venture for a great guy get off to a rousing start! Goodness knows I love em, but old injury prevents me from playing ultimates near the nut. I look forward to when he comes up for air and can think about double cut, or some shiskov-unique variation! FB variation, or something inspired by Robin Fleetwood would be cool. Very playable for guys like me.

Fixed. Crickee, my bad. I -meant- Chris and not NotChris.

Thanks Steve! Knowing how busy he is now, its much appreciated that you are able to and take the time to ge the info out. You're actually a good publicist, Employee #2? LOL... BTW, is Yuri really his brother (Fender CS)?

Same here. I'm a single/double cut guy, and have been jonesing for a Electroglide-ish guitar for a looong time. Only like the Hamer hockey headstock, so never thought it possible before.Does anyone know if he's going to do archtops, or all flatops?

And you can hang with Lindy Fralin!

I'll second Murkat's seconding. PRS made sure that their guitars were in the hands of upcoming bands and consequently gained remarkable brand identiry. Hamer did it in the late 70's and 80's, but when they swiitched back to the Modern Vintage type of models, much fewer new relationships were established. Don't know why.

Ha! Also feeling inspired by this thread, I brought an early LP Classic home with me yesterday Now all you gotta do is push it off the guitar stand a few times.

VVT X-40 into a boogie-like thiele 1x12. It's rotated over the years but this one has stuck longer than any other. Will sometimes play unplugged, but usually not. Only use an acoustic to figure out songs/chords. Call me a heretic, but I really don't like playing one. Not for lack of trying; just doesn't strike a chord with me (pun intended).
