Creating A Hamer: a behind the scenes look


Recommended Posts

So Newman and I were getting some fb's ready for production and we were like holy........

it's flame ebony. You don't see that very often.

Maybe a stupid question because I'm asking it, but everyone wants black ebony. Do you think this [flame] is because of the lack of black ebony? If so, do you think we will see more of it? Check out this video.

Edited to make my babbling make a little sense.

Thank you for posting the Bob Taylor video. Bob made a guitar out of old shipping pallets that impressed people. I trust his judgment and respect his viewpoint.

Running a DA on the top of that nearly-completed Standard would scare me to death! What grit is that? How do you keep from burning through?

EEK! I can't look! :o

I would expect the answer to be "years of practice," or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Is Jackass in the balloon? :D

I left at 12:00 so I missed it. I saw it last year. If I knew it was there, I would have come back, waited for it to fly away, then launch a Professor Fate/Max missile into it!

Years of experience would be the correct answer.

I have a sample to prove that.

Everyone just remember that the Hamer crew is the best ensemble ever assembled into one place at one time, when it comes to building guitars and basses.

Was this ever in question? No for me. Let's all roll up our shirts and do a belly bump. Is it game day tomorrow?
