Man I'd love to have another one. I don't know what it is about Sunburst's and Standard's, I just can't get enough of them.

If this is just a standard appreciation thread then I guess I'll just thanks without getting emotional about it.

Well you know my address and I don't think I could turn that down. You must pay the server fund and Mitch though. /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

And since I just can't bear to lose this bet, I sit here and stare at this Strat I am dying to sell.

The first Standard (#0000) was finished Dec 7, 1974, but didn't have a Hamer logo for a while after that, according to Paul Hamer and Rick N (who ended up with it).

More fodder...

1997 Mexican Sun Yellow Mahogany Standard

I love the Mexican Sun Yellow..that still around?..

I've been infatuated with Hamer Standards since first seeing Tom Wheeler's book..."The Guitar Book", circa 1976, IIRC... On page 113 it shows a Std..with the caption "Paul Hamer's $1,000. Guitar's flame maple top is more dazzling than Gibson's limed Korina body". I drooled over that picture.....

 

[bubs_42]

Oh he still has it. He put someones name on the headstock and completely ruined the guitar. /emoticons/default_tongue.png

I'm digging the new point and shoot Nikon. Today during the Talladega warmup TV stuff I restrung, tuned, and photoed this nice 2001 Hamer Standard and two other guitars. then I played all three while I sat on the edge of my seat. It was a decent race. I thought I might share these with you all to enjoy on a Sunday evening. While not filling like an all day Smoked Brisket it is as tasty. It has a WCR Darkburst N and WCR Ironman B in it and is just fierce at times.

Neck joint is smooth as silk.
