Lockbody Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I'm thinking I want to try one. No body binding, please. I can't deal with that sharp edge against my forearm. So I guess I'm looking at Specials, FMs, and Vectors. "Player shape" guitars OK. No P-90s. Straight sale or trade plus cash for my blue Daytona. Paypal preferred. Post here, email, or PM.

Lockbody Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 800+ postings and no sus blocked hamer ? the suspense must be driving you crazy !!! Five-and-a-half years I've been on this board and for most of it I only had guitars with 25.5" scale and/or Floyds (with some exceptions). What did I know? Mine has a body binding. You keep on doin' your thing, man.
peedenmark7 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 theyre all fun guitars and thats what keeps it interesting !
Lockbody Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 No P-90s.*Shakes head*-AustinNo shakee head. I had a Vanguard for a bit, and while it was a great guitar, I kept trying to make it sound more like it had humbuckers.It was spectactular sounding though my J-Station, though. Neither my Cali. or Diablo could match the heaviness of the tone I got out of that Vanguard though the J. I bet you probably got the same thing going with your Gt-8.
FatherJones.Com Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, I have a 1981 Hamer Special that I have had restored. Some boomba had done a poor job affixing a bridge, and I've had a luthier fix the wood, replace with mahogany/maple veneer piece, refinish with nitro, and affix a sustain block bridge which I paid $150 for from BCR Greg, and put two Seymour Duncan Phat Cats. It is a nice little guitar. The back and neck are mahogany with original cherry finish. The top is a clear coat nitro finish that is currently being buffed by the luthier -- maple flame veneer is original. I have too many guitars, but it will be available soon. I have way, way, way too much invested in this guitar to ever recover. But, it's been a fun project. Would consider trade for Daytona.
Michael_ Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I can't help but notice that you didn't mention prototypes in the list of things you were interested in...they're pretty cool, too.
serial Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I'm taking my Proto out tonight I think. I haven't played that one in ages, but it's still one of my faves.
Lockbody Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 I can't help but notice that you didn't mention prototypes in the list of things you were interested in...they're pretty cool, too.I forgot, but I do like HBs in the neck.
peedenmark7 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 a proto1 is still my all time favorite hamer...very functional and an original hamer body design to boot.timeless in my book !always wanted a proto2 with sus block...dont recall seeing many ..

FJ.Com, Thanks, but I'm not looking for that P-90 tone, plus I'm looking at a couple right now that have had fewer "Boomba" hands messing with them. Thanks anyway.
Lockbody Posted October 5, 2006 Author Posted October 5, 2006 Got one! Thanks to everyone who replied, PM'd, etc...Pics and tone report when I get it.
