Lockbody Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I just bought this in June, but since I bought a Special, it has to go. It's a blue 95, original Duncan APS's neck and middle and a Hot Rails in the bridge. Four, count 'em FOUR, trem arms made by one of our very own here on the HFC. Two regular length and two shorter ones for your palm. Wilkenson saddle adjustment tool (Find one of those). Spare trem cover. OHSC. Bridge in OK shape with little corrosion. Frets in great shape. A few pinhole sized dents in top and back clearcoat, with three dents in top about the size of a eraser. A little worming in the tummycut. None are very deep in the clearcoat and none would photograph. Weight is about 9.5lbs on my Health-o-Meter scale. Not the lightest Daytona ever, but lighter than most, and definitely lighter than my last one by about 3lbs. $600 shipped with Paypal. Subtract $25 for US Postal Money Order. I'll take a check from you if you've been around long enough to know the meaning of "Half a Twenty" Thanks The worming is right along the bottom edge of the tummy cut. The three dimples are right there!
hamertek98 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 If ya have it around Christmas.... Ya know the deal. My son wants a strat, And he has KNOW (NO) idea about Hamer strats. Let me see what I can unload.DeWayne
ZR Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Bob, You forgot to mention the Dimarzio Fast Track 2 in the bridge position. I have basically the same exact guitar - wood, finish, pickups, color etc. and I first tried the SD Hot Rails and was about ready to route it out for that real humbucker rock/metal tone but that same PU came to the rescue. It's all that and has a great sound w/ the vol knob turned down too - cleans up well. It replaced 2 other USA F*nd*r Strats easily. Great sustain - it just rings acoustically.

I've never pulled it to confirm, but what I do know is: that baby likes to rock and baby likes to roll. It'll easily hang with any humbucker but still retains a little of that single coil "zing".
ZR Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Hmmm, maybe it's a FT 1 instead of 2 because my FT2 just mainly rocks - not so much single zing as you put it. Anyway, it's good stuff either way.

Lockbody Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Shoulda mentioned the neck profile. (From a PM I sent to someone with a '95 Studio) *I suck at neck descriptions sorry, but I had a '97 Studio so I should be able to get close.* It's got about the same depth as the Studio, but wider, and fuller in the "shoulders". I would've described my Studio as a "thinner" medium, but this is a fuller medium. Definitely feels larger in the hand than a Studio. ZR, It ain't got that much zing!
hamerhead Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I PMed you, but I'm not sure it worked. You can Email me at Cow-pie AT Verizon DOT net.Thanks
DavidE Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 You had an 11 1/2 pound Daytona?????? That's just crazy!
Lockbody Posted October 8, 2006 Author Posted October 8, 2006 You had an 11 1/2 pound Daytona?????? That's just crazy!It was about 12lb. Made me sick at my stomach it pulled on my shoulder so much. The proverbial "Brick-O-Caster".
