gorch Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Not unique since you notice the chickenhead where regularly a 3-way toggle does its job. This one has a 5-way rotary switch adding series and series inverse wiring to the regular wiring scheme. It's giving the guitar some nice tone options brilliantly shining through the VOX. .
formula73 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I'm glad I made the list! Honestly, I'd have to nominate any one of Rick's many, many weirdass geets.
RobB Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 All of the beauty guitars posted on this thread are all "variations on a theme." The Glenn Tipton "Bowtie" has to be in the running as one of the most unique Hamers. Never seen another like it...
FrankieIII Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Rick's "5 neck" and "Uncle Dick" hands down!!!http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=rick_nielsen
cmatthes Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Up until a few years ago I had a Neon Yellow SS-1, w/matching reverse headstock, ebony board w/LED inlays, built-in wireless unit and artist headstock personalization. It was in an ad and catalog from the late 80s - not the most unique Hamer, but sure is a cool guitar!It is currently living with another HFC'er.

How did it play and sound?
Disturber Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Uncle Rick probably has the most unique Hamer's out there. The five necks, the Uncle Rick one with his removable head etc. But this Madam X Hamer is pretty weird as well...>
ib2010 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 EM #1's gotta fit , at least, the unique top theme.
murkat Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Uncle Rick probably has the most unique Hamer's out there. The five necks, the Uncle Rick one with his removable head etc. But this Madam X Hamer is pretty weird as well...> looks like they were heavily endorsed as well...
moozak Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 my Triple Threat may not count... but my Talladega is a true custom order... and she be loaded... even the case!
coolfeel Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 my Triple Threat may not count... but my Talladega is a true custom order... and she be loaded... even the case! Yah that Tally is hot. Did you get that from a place in Raleigh NC?
svl Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 But this Madam X Hamer is pretty weird as well...> Very.... interesting.... placement of the top horn in that pic. Totally forgot about Maxine & the X. Ah, the hair-filled '80s....
gorch Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 ... ... This has been an exceptional documentation at the time of building. I'm still driven.
woodpile Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Holy gold standard! What, when, where, how, if.....??
zorrow Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Pictures taken by one of the previous owners of my 81 camo Vector, which I think is quite unique:
juanferdiaz Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Not the most Customized but... Custom specs include: 5 ply binding peghead and neck. Lollar imperial pickups Crowns Retro style knobs Ebony fretboard Custom specs include: 5 ply binding peghead and neck. Lollar imperial Crowns Retro style knobs.
Disturber Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Not the most Customized but... Only one thing I really dislike about that Standard. It's not in my stash of Hamers
moozak Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Not the most Customized but... Custom specs include: 5 ply binding peghead and neck. Lollar imperial pickups Crowns Retro style knobs Ebony fretboard Custom specs include: 5 ply binding peghead and neck.
