Brooks Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 As some of you might remember, "the Mutt" has a neck from a Hamer USA Chaparral, & the body is from a Centaura (a 2nd single coil middle slot is empty under the stickers). Stock Schaller licensed Floyd Rose bridge still works great, no tuning issues. It now has Ibanez USA pickups (from an 80's Saber, made by dimarzio I believe). Disclosures; tone knob is disabled (my tech said the tone is better that way, I dunno). Pro headstock repair (BCR Greg did it, i think). Med/thin neck has been sanded to bare wood (feels great), & has been glued into the neck pocket (an experiment in tone/sustain, but I couldn't tell any difference). Prism stickers look great under stage lights, or peel 'em off and refinish it yourself. Lots of dings/battlescars/wear, as its a gigged rawk beater that still feels/sounds/looks very good, imfo. Crwth145 has 1st dibs, otherwise its $300 + actual shipping (UPS Store Packing Job, Insured).Consider trades for guitars/amps/shotguns, whatcha got?
Crwth145 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Brooks, you be one cool mo-fo... I appreciate your gracious offer, but go ahead and let the cynic have it. Thanks, man.
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 If the first 2 dib-out, I'll take it!!! I'm in the UK though...
cynic Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Easily one of the most immediately recognizable Hamer's around, imo....can't wait to start the routing for crowns!
Hamer Dave Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Easily one of the most immediately recognizable Hamer's around, imo....can't wait to start the routing for crowns! Yeah, that is a cool looking piece for stage, I bet. And the price was right!
LordOfTheThighs Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Oh No !I'm surprised your letting it go.That's the Brooks Signature Model Hamer. It makes for some great pics.It's such a unique piece. Congrats to Cynic.
cloakerz Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 yes, headstock repair by BCR greg. I filled the front side to pretty it up a bit and painted it.

Congrats to Cynic. i have been playing ibanez guitars on & off for a little while, and i'm totally smitten by my recently completed saber S540LTD and its super thin neck and big frets. now my hamers feel like the frets are too small and the necks are too thick. i'm keeping my duotone (which i always considered the "BK model") even though i hardly play it anymore, but its so great for jazz licks and acoustic gigs, and has a great tone w/ gain.
MCChris Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Back in the day I did the opposite: I chose an Ibanez RT450 over a Centaura because it had a fuller neck profile.
zenmindbeginner Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Ibanez? I'm shaking my head back and forth in a style like "noooooooooo" Hamer fugged up not offering the jumbos... my Corpsman grandfather worked triage during the invasion of Iwo Jima just so you could ditch an American original for a Japanese one? I kid, I kid... excuse me while I go get in my Mazda to fetch breakfast. Back in the day I did the opposite: I chose an Ibanez RT450 over a Centaura because it had a fuller neck profile. Chris are you proceeding to give the guitar a good KK style tongue job? All that picture needs is some horns on yerhead.
