What finish is this?

[singlehum]

Looks like a pearloid. Was this a finish for USA Hamers?

Change those cream surrounds to black or chrome.

Not sure how many guys would try to pull off playing her at a gig but I bet she would look killer under the lights.

If that was factory it must have been during one of Jol's hiatuses as I would guess this would not have passed his QC. But this is only an uneducated guess.

I believe that one of two imports done in that style finish (the other was bluish?). The blue one was on Craigslist somewhere in Florida a while back. Someone here may have picked it up?

There's a thread discussing it somewhere, or I believe cmattthes knew details (go figure).

If I wasn't on my iPad I'd look for it, sorry.

Calling cmattthes...!

I saw that one on CL as well and thought, holy bowling ball batman,what is that? I was also curious about this one he has in the same post.

THAT is a T-62, formerly of the Poe Collection.

Terrific-playing, funny-looking guitar.

Seller should contact me for some really good photos of that one...

The pearloid top is one of a small run of Imports made about 10 or so years ago as "Artist Relations" type pieces. The guitarist from ThRonE (Justin somebody, IIRC, can't recall his name) had a pair of them. I've seen them in the pink, gray, blue and green pearloid.

I'd definitely call it MOTS, or at least in the style of MOTS. If not that, crushed pearl?

Looks kinda like the fender moto finish on picks.

Import or not I want-that aint paint. Is that for sale somewhere?

It's the same stuff they use on Pearloid/Pearl Drum Wraps.

Gretsch has been doing that for years, but a few other companies have done it more recently.

I only know of one Hamer (USA) done with that material, and it's that "Disco DIck" Standard from the Workshop Blog.
