Stike Posted June 28, 2025 Posted June 28, 2025 The owner of Guitar Pickers in Wilmington NC hit me up to see if I could turn this one around, there were no bolts through the headstock but it was pretty bad... I don't keep my opinion on relics secret and while I did appreciate the Evel Knievel-esque design I agreed to take this one in hoping I wouldn't regret it-sometimes going behind someone that doesn't know how to properly sand is a fucking nightmare. Anyway, before. After. There's a few more rehabs in the queue that I will post when completed, a couple will be for sale too. 30 5 Quote
Dave Scepter Posted June 29, 2025 Posted June 29, 2025 (edited) Great job!.. but I kinda liked the Evel Knievel graphic... would have been interesting to see it redone with new sparkly metallic flake Perfect size checkers as well👌 Edited June 29, 2025 by Dave Scepter 1 Quote
ZR Posted June 29, 2025 Posted June 29, 2025 Just beautiful! You do great work! I especially like the headstock with the Michael Schenkerish treatment on the Hamer logo. Incredible! 1 Quote

Jim85IROC Posted June 29, 2025 Posted June 29, 2025 Looks killer. How did you rebuild the headstock? 1 Quote
bsteff666 Posted June 29, 2025 Posted June 29, 2025 Nice. Love the checkerboard graphic. But I actually kind of like the worn Evel graphic as well. 1 Quote

I had a friend nearby who worked at the Arlington Heights and New Hartford shops reshape it for me. 😄 It's shorter than an unmolested Hamer headstock. 5 hours ago, scottcald said: Wow, that's some fabulous work.

The checkerboard pattern distracts you from seeing that at first glance. I don't think I would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it or had I not seen the before pic. 2 Quote
