Creating A Hamer: a behind the scenes look

[HSB0531]

If any of you have photos of your Hamer being built, post them here.
This is as much a peek into the process of the build, as it is a tribute to the guys that built these great guitars and basses.

Dave Brown aka Newman60?

I've got some more shots of other guitars (mine and those of other HFC'ers) around here and there. Here's a shot from my last new one:

awesome pictures! I love the in progress ones. It's awesome to see how a guitar really takes shape. damn shame that with things they way they are, I'll never get a chance to have a custom build made. oh well.
