gfc55 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Today, Carmie and I brought home a beautiful new Hamer "Extra Special" from our good friends at Flynn Guitars. This guitar was a custom order that Mike Flynn came up with, and we've been looking at it in the store for several weeks now, but Carmie bonded with it today. The pictures really don't do it justice, but it is a Hamer Special FM in a Trans Black finish over a premium quilt top. It has P90's, which made it extra interesting to us because we didn't have any guitars with P90's. Here's a shot highlighting the top of the guitar. This is what Carmie is doing while I type this message! And finally, this is a shot of the proud new owner with her lovely new guitar. Now we have two new Trans Black beauties to bring to BruceM's bash next month. WooHoo!
Submariner85 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Very Nice One.Optical Illusion: I see a face by the bridge volume.
cordroad Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Stunning.......congrats! How ya likin the P90's?
Guest galejt Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Whoa!That's beautiful!Nice guitar too!
duncans Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Nice axe Carmie. Can't wait to see it in person!
salem Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Holy cow! That's a beautiful guitar. I want one just like that in cherry finish. That's Hamer's finest, in her hands.
Travis Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 That's hot. I would love one of those with either double cream or nickel covered Seth Lovers.
MCChris Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Optical Illusion: I see a face by the bridge volume. Ha! So do I!Wraparounds rule, and so do Carmie and George! Great addition to the family!
BruceM Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Back in Black, Baby! Very nice...I can't wait to see y'all sporting your new trans-blacks next month. Congrats on the new guitars. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon.
ctrixie Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 It has P90's, which made it extra interesting to us because we didn't have any guitars with P90's."Wow! Can I live in your basement? "we" huh??? Keep yer paws off my Extra Special!! Seriously tho, I am just loving the P90's - what a crunch, it's got "the sound" that I've wanted for certain things that I play, it just nails it! I've been looking at it for the past several months and gotta thank George for the encouragement, as always. "Wow! Can I live in your basement? " Chris, do you do windows ? "I can't wait to see y'all sporting your new trans-blacks next month" Bruce, now I REALLY have to get some slammin' RnR attire for the jam. "Optical Illusion: I see a face by the bridge volume. " Oh yeah, I see it too - and do you see the top of George's head left of the neck p/u?
atquinn Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Rockin! What's up with that bridge though? I don't think I've seen a wraparound like that on a Hamer before (the one on my special isn't fully intonatable like that one is).-Austin
JES1680 Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Thats the coolest Hamer I've seen in quite a while. I'm glad I didn't see it in a store or I'd be comming up with some sort of interesting "story" to salvage marital harmony.
tomteriffic Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 That is just TOO cool, Carmie! Enjoy!
Rockola Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Another leg-humper chiming in.that is slick.S.

I don't think I've seen a wraparound like that on a Hamer before (the one on my special isn't fully intonatable like that one is).-Austin Gotta be a TonePros. I knew those were now stock on stop-tuna guitars. Good to see the same is true for wraparounds.
Buzzy Fretts Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Das cool. Das cool. (but you knew I'd say that.)
kizanski Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Optical Illusion: I see a face by the bridge volume. I see it too. Looks like a lion's head.Very cool guitar, Carmie! I'd put a Pigtail on it, though.Intonation is for...nevermind.
elduave Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Wow! Very cool fiddle! You guys are rollin'. That thing is sweet!
sw686blue Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 One of the coolest in a very long time. Enjoy!
gwayne Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Congrats on a super cool guitar! It's kinda understated and over-the-top at the same time. Kudos to whoever spec'd that one out.
