I will check it out. I might have a luthier willing to take this on.

This looks very much like the Hamer that Serial had that drew me to learn more about Hamer. Someone is gonna get a cool guitar.

No worries man. Positive energy very much appreciated.

thanks. I will reach out. Keep em coming though as I feel like I am peeing against the wind in this pursuit.

IME bridge pickups on 1978 Sunbursts aren’t wide enough to line up with the string spacing. I would imagine an unintended design flaw.

Thanks man. Not looking to do the foil but fabric which is a slightly different process. And I don’t have the skills or space to pull off such a task. Needs me an expert. I found another shop. Hoping this one will help an old man out.

Very nice. Anyone have info on shops in original post or other shops? “Not Steve” Matthes said he didn’t think Stike does fabric finishes. 😪

Schwing!

Hello there ladies and gentlemen, are any of you familiar with retro guitars or king electric guitars? I reached out to both and no response. They put fabric on guitar bodies (think 68 paisley tele which was foil). or maybe you know a shop that can and will accept this work? TIA. Bobby

Hope you see better days soon.

Trading should count. Selling a guitar and buying another should also count. Every guitar that comes in should count, regardless of how many leave. But its not my thread so what do I know.

Is Mike S. going to offer pizza day finishes as an upcharge?

Happy Thanksgiving to all HFCers and their loved ones. On a related note to the OP, I wonder how many of us already own guitars that were made by Shishkov (along with his former bretheren) . . . I am thankful to have at least one, I think.

As a great man once told me, "just play it".

I have been getting educated on tweed era in general and ran across this fella. Chassis kit for 5f6a (as well as 5f1 and 5e3). I think he will also build complete amp for you too.
