andrew m Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Looks HOT!. I look forward to seeing it in action.
ronin Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 That looks sweet! Congrats on getting the paint/clear done. I know that must feel good. As others have said, be sure to take some action shots as well when you get the chance.Take it easy!
BONEDADYO Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 It's been a LONG time!!! Lot of changes going on in my life (all good ones!) but I've finally found the time to finish this project. The results were well worth the wait. Here it is... I was even able to replicate the original serial in the correct font & color! Enjoy!
BONEDADYO Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks! It sounds great & plays like butta! I added a push pull vol pot to split the humbucker (as if there weren't enough tonal combinations already).

BONEDADYO Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 I've owned & handled other SS1's before, but this one is an oddball. The neck is much more deep & the pitch of the set neck is more straight. Overall, it feels more like a Prototype than the production SS. Because of the serial, I think this had to be a real early one. The Floyd sits much closer to the body as a result of the neck pitch. I would to give thanks to Peter Fung , Greg G., Kim Keller, & Serial Steve, for all your help, parts & support. And special thanks thanks to everyone here on the board who gave a kind word. This was truly a labor of love & your support helped me keep chugging along!
ronin Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 That is F-ing awesome! Really nice work! Glad to hear things in your life are going well too.Had a question for you. What is the pole spacing on the pickups? I am replacing mine and was just double checking. When I meausre the pole spacing on the pickups in the guitar right now they seem to narrow for the strings.Thanks and, again, great job!!!Eric
BONEDADYO Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks!I ended up getting married to a girlfriend from 21 years ago!!!!F spaced for the humbucker.
andrew m Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Bravo to you on all accounts.Beautiful guitar. Congrats.

paulcozby Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Wow! Awesome work u did there! Hey, I'll be in Vegas next week, any gigs? I wanna see that bad boy in action! I'm leaving for Phoenix on Thu. No gigs next week... It's been REALLY bad out here! Hi, I just got my SS1 back from the painter and thought I would share some pictures with you. Before After I have a chance at getting another SS1, in really bad shape, how did you make the Hamer/Steve Stevens logo for the headstock? The one I may be getting has a pretty much destroyed logo on it. Thanks Paul
FrankieIII Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Very nice work! It also may have been cool to have had an airbrush artist paint the red buttons and switch for the ray gun on it.
