This Old Hamer

Picked up an 82 Special a while back that had seen some heavy use.

It started life with a TOM and stop tail piece then got Kahlerized along with some carving between the pickups and lots or wear.

Some of that wear also included some questionable extra "routing" and glue in the neck pickup cavity.

I decided to make a few changes. Here are a couple before and after shots.

Tone Pros bridge.

Manlius Landmark pickup.

Always a tough color to photograph correctly, that's Sea Foam Green.

Thanks guys.

Almost forgot to show off one of my favorite parts of this guitar.

Had to keep the ink stamped serial number on the back of the headstock, but didn't want a little window of black in Sea Foam.

Decided to do a stinger to blend the black back of the headstock with the green. I'm not a big fan of black and Sea Foam next to each other so I came up with this.
