He is soon putting on the FS block one of his Calis ... Specifically, an '88, banana yellow, boomers and ebony. He thinks it was a custom order because he said it has a one-piece maple neck. Kull hasn't visited this page in forever, but he's active on Facebook and at the Hamer USA Guitars fan page on Facebook. Go ping him to get the details. Here's a pic of it I just swiped off his FB page ... Well....That would go nicely with my Ram 1500 YELLOW Rebel. Damn....thought I was "done with Cali's", too. I was watching the Hamer history vid on Youtube and it was mentioned that Hamer had some issues with the one piece maple necks early on....twisting issue. That is why they went with the 3 piece versions...according to the vid, anyway. In any case, it is a very interesting guitar. Jeff R, I went on Facebook and there are quite a few "Kull's" listed.....not sure which one is his. Can you share a specific link so I can ask him some Q's? Quote
Bennyboy-UK Posted August 14, 2024 Posted August 14, 2024 It was one piece mahogany necks not maple necks that had the issues. Hamer made one piece maple necks as standard for Centauras, Diablos, Vintage S, T62, T51 and Daytonas and three piece maple necks as standard for Californians and Chaparrals and others. A one piece neck on a Cali is somewhat unusual but I’ve seen at least one other like that which was for sale in Japan - and as Jason’s is an early one - 1988 - so to me it makes it even more interesting. 2 Quote

Bennyboy-UK Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 They Yellow Cali sold on Friday and already up for sale on Reverb from its new owner- looks like an undercover dealer did a swiftly flippy. 1 Quote

The_Cali_Kid Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 I’m quite interested to buy that Cali at GC but am international. If anyone has any experience or suggestions navigating international postage from GC please let me know. Or perhaps if anyone is local and would be prepared to help coordinate postage for me I’d be happy to cover time and materials etc Quote
