Standard Appreciation Thread

Man this Daytona of mine is really impressing me! I've been wondering if Hamer humbucker guitars are as perfectly suited to me as their bolt-ons.

 
Here's another one I just got:

Excuse the yard, I mowed it today. /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Beautiful!!! Total knockout! What year is it? I've always focused on Sunburst and don't know as much about the Standard's history, but this fret marker inlays are wicked.

The lawn--you missed a spot. /emoticons/default_tongue.png

 
Obviously you guys don't know, and the FBI will be getting in touch with you shortly, but Standard Customs are considered WMD and must exported out of the USA to somewhere like Canada... Burlington Ontario to be exact...

I can PM the address to you when you've got them all packed up.

Bump for more standard pics and because I'm slowly coming back around to this body shape after almost 16 (edit: oh no...) 26 years away from it.

What is the feature at the bottom of the neck (fb is bound and comes to a " "pinch" ) on Greg s pic of the damn finest std pic . Also I came real close on pulling the trigger on 1 of the zandards (used) , and was pissed off I missed the standard and came really really close on the gold top std ( but didn't) . And the punisher just rules .

That multi-ply binding comes to a pinched point yes.

It's a 4-digit Standard that was ordered with that feature.

Not a standard, Standard feature.

I don't think any other was ordered that way.

 
Hsb0531. I completely understand your reply/ statement , lots of older high end gibbys had that as well , but that " feature " has to have a name like" Art Deco curve " or something like that .that is what I was trying to find out ,maybe I phrased it wrong sorry.

It is usually referred to as , "L-5" fingerboard end, if it's the one I'm thinking about. The HFC'er who owns that one also has a matching Vector.

 
I knew one of the Matthes brothers would have an answer to this.

And... A MATCHING VECTOR !!!!!!....WOW!
