Brentrocks Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I snagged this bad boy from a GC in CT, as some of you know. Its a 2005 HAMER Standard done up in 59 burst flametop. Its loaded with Seymour Duncan 59ers, Schaller tuners, Tone Pros hardware and a beautifuly grained rosewood fretboard inlaid with MOP traps! It has a pretty beefy 50s neck, more C shaped. I expected 10-11 lbs, but was surprised to weigh it at 9.3 lbs! The balance is pretty good considering the size of the neck. The action is wonderfully low, neck is perfect, just a frog hair of relief. The top is STUNNING! The GC picture did not show nearly the amount of flame...i was pleasently surprised! It is in 9.8 condition...i was floored, for an almost 7 yr old guitar....PPFFFFFF, it didnt get played much! Awesome tone...i'm not a big fan of 59ers, but they do sound decent in this guitar...i let you judge from the clip. I'm very happy, especially for the price.
crunchee Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 That's a beauty! I call dibs! Edited to add: after everybody else on Rebeka's post, that is. She does know how to pick 'em!
Bobby Marshall Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Dude, congrats!!! She looks awesome and sounds incredible. Two killer guitars within weeks of each other. Life is good.
tommy p Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 It's starting to look one of us is burglarizing the other's house. I have the guitar lamp you have on my computer desk, the Beatles prints in individual frames in my living room, and a Standard like that (except for a bound headstock).
Crwth145 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Mmmid-seventies Ibanez Destroyer! Congratulations, Brent... that standard custom looks good on ya, bro... .
MCChris Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah, you scored like Pavel Datsyuk with that one!
DaveH Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I think the markers are off center.Just kidding, very sweet guitar!
dgstandard Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Great score, Brent.Detroit completely outplayed the Canucks last night...it was painful but at least we got a point.
jisham Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Nice score. Now get a longer strap to drop that bad boy down about a foot for THE LOOKTM.
whiskeyzulu Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Congrats - really nice guitar and I find mine fun to play. Playing mine always makes me think of Allen Collins (Skynyrd)
G Man Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Love it. One of these days the stars will line up and I will get me a proper Standard to keep my Blitz company.
Brentrocks Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 not to hijack op, but, I love this picture. I love it too.
Rodan Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 That's one elegant piece of plank! Well wrought!
singlehum Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Nice one....looks more orangey red than in the original pic. That came from GC in CT???
Brentrocks Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 Is it for sale yet? Heck no. I'm already planning a pup swap.
