None Hamer Content

I love coming back to this thread.

She is looking so good, and I can't wait to see the finished product!

 
Well, time has moved on a bit, so has Stu @ BluesTone... my guitar should be more or less finished next week sometime, gotta say it's looking very very good... Can't wait to get a hold of this.. Stu cut me some thin slices of blackwood and lacquered them, these will be going in the center of the pickups.. he's also cut the pickup rings from blackwood too.. If it looks too much I'll probably go to black plastic, wadda you guys think??

Cheers

That's incredible. I'd say the less plastic the better, and the wooden covers and rings fit to perfection cosmetically.

I think that "too much" is not a concern on such a fantastic piece.

All finished, it arrived today and I have to say it's absolutely stunning, the build quality is fantastic and it plays like a dream, , Stu's workmanship is top notch, and he's a great guy too.. Thanks for your patience allowing me to post this on here.. I know it's about Hamers, I'm a huge Hamer fan too, but thought I would share this with you..

Cheers

Here's couple of links to the build, and also the final pics..

SWEET! Jeez, if only I could get Charvel's Custom Shop to give me photo updates like that, I'd be ecstatic!!!

 
What a great way to build guitars. Congratulation to a stunning guitar.

You want to provide some sound samples to us now it is ready?

 
Thanks guys, yep it's very beautiful, the pics don't really do it justice, the top really is unbelievable ( as is the rest of the guitar..) It's stunning in the flesh/wood,

Sound samples... wish I could but I'm not able to record anything,

Not sure all you virtuoso's would want to hear my bum notes and overbends anyways /emoticons/default_ph34r.png

 
Mick - that is awesome! Thanks for posting the link - nothing like watching a guitar-porn slideshow with my morning coffee!

You are one lucky guy - please post a tone report! (I LOVE chambered guitars...)

Just out of curiosity, what is the price range for BluesTone instruments? It certanly seems like most of the build involves custom handwork (didn't see any CNC?).

Thanks again, ya' lucky bastid' - enjoy it!

Nah Stu doesn't use any CNC etc, it's all hand done, well he uses saws, thicknesers etc , but nothing computer controlled AFAIK, He doesn't need to.

It sounds pretty good, it has a feel and depth that I haven't felt in many guitars, it's kinda made a lot of my other guitars feel a bit? generic maybe? it feels at home with me if that makes sense, even after playing it for only a week or so, it feels right when I pick it up, which is what I would expect from a custom built guitar I guess /emoticons/default_laugh.png

It's very loud and sweet acoustically and has very good sustain, I'm sure the chunky neck has something to do with that, Plugged in it has a nice warmth and sweetness but also plenty of bite when I dig in and a nice depth to the tone, It's really very good, very responsive.

Price? not sure if it's cool to post prices on here?? but for what it is, and with regards to the awesome quality of the build and also the fantastic wood Stu used, plus the amount of hand work that goes in to Stu's builds, they are very very reasonably priced, that's subjective I know, maybe less than you would think for a guitar of this quality? I'm so stoked with it I have already put my name down on the list for another build, Bloody GAS...It doesn't stop does it... /emoticons/default_ph34r.png
