veatch Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Since we can't seem to agree on what "iconic" means, let's keep this one simple (i know we've done this before, but it's always a pron-fest... ) What are the 10 most righteous Hamer guitars you've seen owned by an HFC member. Please have pics to apply... I don't have 10, but mine are: Cam's Junior (still can't believe i didn't buy this when i had the chance...) The Electroglide (C. Mathes?): Moozak's Nightfire Talladega: Devnor's Boomer'd Artist: Travis's INSANELY figured Korina Artist (another one i should have bought i had the chance... :/ ) Silentman's Watson: And of course, Da Punisher: What you got?
django49 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I will cop to the "Duotone Custom Brazilian" in the "Custom Gallery". Will try to get another decent picture. http://www.hamerguit...a=customgalleryOne I would never get tired of looking at----That quilted Artist Ultimate.....The owner will pop back into my head as soon as I post this, no doubt.....Oh yeah, ArnieZ!
Feynman Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Devnor? Help! I can't find my pic of Feynman's Future Standard...
veatch Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Devnor? Help! I can't find my pic of Feynman's Future Standard... Another classic...
Lockbody Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 BadgerDave's old Artist Custom. I hate I didn't have the scratch to buy this one when it came up for sale. Foodermon's Alligator Burst, Boomer'd Standard. One of the nicest I've ever seen, bar none. and then there's...
Kurt L Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Last year's birthday present to myself. Nothing too unusual but since no one has posted a Studio Custom yet...
Morris Davis Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I'd like to nominate my EM Tally and my custom standard custom:
Kurt L Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Morris, did your Talladega come with humbuckers or did you pull the Double Ds? Haven't seen one like that... beautiful guitar.
Morris Davis Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Morris, did your Talladega come with humbuckers or did you pull the Double Ds? Haven't seen one like that... beautiful guitar.I pulled the double ds and the 4 way switch - now has a three way switch and WCR godwoods (perfect fit). Double ds were nice ...but full of single coil hum. This guitar smokes with godwoods - light as a feather, huge tone and a nice snap from the longer scale length.
Kurt L Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Cool. I'm still getting used to my Talladega... very different from my other Hamers.
gorch Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 These kill too! The last one taken from my catalog.
hardheartedbill Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Gotta go w Genes "whackhead" standard
BTMN Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks HHB!!Here is an old new shot of Whackhead a '77 Standard I am lucky to own.I'm gonna have to study on this question from the OP because the answer is complicated with flamey goodness.
Steve Haynie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 The Punisher is the first one that comes to mind. DavidB broke the FB barrier with his custom order.
GusS Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 steve matthes' blue burst standardsteve matthes' red proto
sledhead44 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Does an HFC'er own my personal favorite "Red Molly"?Edited to add that I have to agree that the Punisher is most righteous as well. I have seen it talked about on many other forums.
HSB0531 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Ok, only 'cus it's almost famous @ 1:56 into the PBS special: I present HSB #0531
polara Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 If we talk about being passed around the ol' clubhouse...The PhantoglideThe AceburstThe Prince
RichRS6 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This is one of my personal favourites, owned by Disturber (I think?)
Disturber Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Yes, (thank you, I'm blushing now). I got it. A damn fine guitar in every way possible. And then again, I've been thinking it might just need a Kahler to be 100% right,
gorch Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Yes, (thank you, I'm blushing now). I got it. A damn fine guitar in every way possible. And then again, I've been thinking it might just need a Kahler to be 100% right, ... behind the sustain block bridge I think.
kizanski Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 One of my all time faves. Someone tell me why I didn't buy it when I had the chance?? The Punisher is another one. Still kicking my own ass about that one.
kevinbower1959 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 The most epic of all will be the 'Most-Metal-Standard-In-The-History-Of-Hamer' which I'm going to custom order as soon as Frank U gets back to me with a price......
