I ordered this a while ago, since Hamer won't make Birds anymore....

In it comes today, and life was good. Pigtail wraparound, two P-90's, all mahogany, custom neck spec. As cool as it is, I couldn't stop myself.....

Now it has Rios, Hamer pots, and the switch is in the right place. 6 hours of work, but worth it!

More tomorrow, I have to dig out of the store and then dig out at home. Snow sucks.

That looks even better after those mods! I would be very afraid to modify something that nice. You Da Man! I wish Hamer would make Birds I would get one in a second.

Hey Buck!

I really dig FBs, and I notice your custom shop has a bolt neck in a glued joint. How well do these hold up? I'd always wondered about that. I use some pretty heavy strings, but if that can be made to be a rock-solid joint then my DIY guitar options just multiplied exponentially. I hatebolt on neck heels.

I didn't get the guitar yet. It's on it's way from Canada so I can't really answer that till after I get it. It is different that's for sure it has Humbuckers and the set neck. The guy has been making guitars for years so I took a chance. You can check out his stuff at http://www.frankinsteinguitarworks.com/ He has some wild stuff.

I think he does a ton of work for Kim Mitchell, no?

Nice bird.

Rough idea on cost? If you care to share that is. :P

I got in the 'elevator' last night with a nice enough guy who was over joyed that he's got "a clear cell in the lift".

Now, for that P-90 fire pigeon you just built...I assume this serves as the flavor of the month, and the Avalon is no longer of any pertinent use to you.

:P I stoped in the Guitar Center down in Indy this past weekend. They have a Custom made Neck Thru Hill Firebird right now. If I was not on a selling spree I would have grabed it. $499 I beleive was the asking price.

Yeah, i was supprised he didn't jump on me for that, mind you 'eat him' ?!?! i wouldn't even nibble his ear on a dark night !

Hunter, you are mistaken. Sorry.

Kiz, WHAT'S THE WORD?

Jem, you are a lost soul. Change your diaper and get back to work. LOL

Yes he does guitars for Kim Mitchell. I traded him my 1965 Harmony H-75 for it. I am going to miss the Harmony but it's not practical for me, to easy to bang up. This bird has Humbuckers in it and he said it sounds more like a good Explorer or V than a Firebird. I'm pretty excited I'll just have to wait and see. It's unique and I like that
