cordroad Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah, it's true. This is the one I bought from Jisham last month. Why am I sellin it? Dare I say it? We just don't click. Sad but true. It's not the guitar, it's me. Thought I'd dig the single P90 but it's too much power for my taste. The guitar is amazing. Light, vibrant, easy to play. It's just not me. Here's some background for folks new to Hamers and these Jr's in particular. BCR designed Rio Grande P90 Pigtail bridge 59 spec thin headstock One of six made from the same slab of mahogany, to BCRGreg's specs 59 spec strip tuners Folks, if ya like what ya see, buy it. The price is way low, and if you miss this one, you very well will wait a good long time to find another. As Jaye mentioned in his for sale post, the only issues are several pencil point size indentations on the top and the back, visible in the right light. The finish is not broken. I have no idea what caused them, but I understand the guitar has changed hands several times on this board. Of course, it will ship in the original hard case. Some pics. Photos aren't the greatest. There are no blemishes on this fine piece, just fingerprints and smudges. Price is the same as I paid, $1350 shipped to the 48. USPS money order preferred. Add $40 to cover Paypal fees. Tim

BCR Greg Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Which Gibsons?Buy the BCR TV, Riff, or you will kill yourself later when it occurs to you what SHOULD have been.
riffpowers Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Which Gibsons?Buy the BCR TV, Riff, or you will kill yourself later when it occurs to you what SHOULD have been.Well, if I had the bcr Jr it would kinda make my les paul special and les paul custom redundant... and maybe even the artist!!I'm totally brassic after buying the hamer artist, but I gotta have this!!!!What are the necks like compared to my korina Jr??
BCR Greg Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Better.Buy the bloody guitar and quit stalling.
Guest Meshuggah Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Neck is thicker than the Korina Vintage carve you have. I find the mahogany to be sweeter than Korina in side by side acoustic comparisons. Plugged in it's just another raunchy, snarly, mis-begotten, son of she-devil P90-ish kind of a whatnot.

BCR Greg Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Is the scale length 24-3/4" or 24.625"?What do you want it to be?Hamer sez 24.75"
CameronScott Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 What do you want it to be?Hamer sez 24.75"I want it to be 24.625".
anotherfreak2 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 There should be enough play in the bridge for that if not just "lean" the studs over with a mallett
