serial Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Northsider, do you have any pics of my Koa/Wenge Chap?Sorry man, I do not. Jol should have some.That's ok. As I've said before...
specialk Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Nice to see more pics of Hectorp's SS. It was on the workshop blog for only a day or so. Beauty!
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Looks a lil 1979 to me. Knowing some of DavidB's past orders I know this will be Super Fine! Now that is a real five neck! None of that pussy, smoke and mirrors all in one five neck shit. Buy fucking five Hamers instead of being a fucking cheap bastard and putting them all in one. Oh I'm sorry, was I out of line? Eat me (Say while coughing). Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Another before and after. Is that Newman60's Guild walker on the right. Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Kinda makes the PRS neck joint look like it's unfinished... PRS was a genius. Just like Geico, when they came on the scene they absolutely overloaded with advertisement. Every other fucking video you saw early on MTV had a PRS in it. KMC always advertised Hamer like it was advertising the Pope. One of Fender's first moves when it bought KMC was to tell the Hamer dealers that they were not shipping to them anymore. The first move Fender made when they bought Guild in Westerly was to stop the production of the Pilot Bass. The Pilot Bass was #3 on the US sales chart right behind Fender. Nice ha. Fucking Evil Empire. Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I wish all of this stuff had been posted when Hamer was still in business. Who knows how many custom orders would have been inspired.We still have custom orders in process. I have one on my bench right now. Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Dumpster diving anybody?I can use that cardboard. Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 The last one hanging was a lot of work. I've got to find them.Are those fucking swatches? Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 You know, it's probably a good thing that when I asked about Hamer making shredders they said no. I would've gladly paid out for a Watson. By the time they had changed their mind I was married and dropping that kind of coin was strictly verboten Wait, no, it's not a good thing. I still wish I had a Watson!!Those are one of my favorite, all hand made. Thanks Greg Someone please buff off the Seymour Duncan name! Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I don't like it when the flames don't line up. It's like when two vagina lips don't line up. You go down and your like "What?" Bm
Jackass Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 This one is very cool too. You wouldn't fucking believe what's going on under that Motherbucker. It was a motherfucker to put together. Putting together what the customer wanted and what I had to work with, combined with what Northfield and Newman60 left me with real estate, it was a fucking orgasmic orgy of emotions. I must have dropped 57 'F' bombs! Bm
BTMN Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 It was sounding great in Chicago last Fall.http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/56807-a-trip-to-illinois/page-2

cynic Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 ^^^ +1I'm sure all here would love to see every painful detail as the last one makes it through the stages.

serial Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I knew some wise ass would answer that! Reason I asked is that if it was 98/99, that'd be my Scepter.
