I'm still reeling over how cool this came out.

MikeC, it always kind of "bothered" me that the neck pup didn't match the angle of the fretboard, so I asked to have it slanted. The fine tuner bridge didn't make too much sense to me either so I asked for a Sustain Block. As I said earlier I was pleasantly surprised when they were approved. Hamerhead's bridges are the shiz.

Can you hear the sustain? Well, you would if it were playing? LOL

So why call it a Watson, why not call it a Miano? /emoticons/default_blink.png

That is another beautiful guitar, congrats.

Some of these pics are forcing my mind into custom order territory, hmmm...

OK, I'm a bit biased though! Hey Greg, I order you to make me a truss rod cover: "Lou Miano Model" It's fitting.

Mobbie had my vote for favorite Hamer of the Year for about 24 hrs. /emoticons/default_blink.png Talk about an 'O' face!

Those frets look HUGE.

Thet are! Frets are Dunlop 6100's. My favorite. Got em on my Standard, Studio, and Daytona too. Gives me a 'scalloped' sort of feel.

(In best Annie voice......) The sun will ome out tomorrooooooooooooowwwwww....

It did.

WOOT!!!!

Lou forced me to plug it in, and it KILLS. The two pickups together on a clean setting has more spank than most Teles, and under gain, the bridge bucker is sweet and silky. To say that I am enamored is an understatement. The Sustain block and lightwieght construction make this a vibrator that plays music.

Congrats, Lou.

I just love this pic. BAD ASS!!

 

[galejt]

Can you say FIYAH!

 

[silentman]

Greg just refunded my deposit. This guitar is now available. I don't like the way it looks in these last photos.

NOT!

 

[Jack C]

I knew Greg was a HUGE fan of sustain blocks, but is that a DNA puddle on this one?

 

[silentman]

Bump cause this is out for delivery. I will post a full review.

The fine tuner bridge didn't make too much sense to me either ...

Of course not. ANY type of tuning adjustment at the bridge, especially intonation, is for PUSSIES!

Damn Lou ... you hit a home run with this one!

Lou,

Congrats. A very nice piece. This will give everyone wood for a few months.
