[cmatthes]

[Toadroller]

Bravo.

[David B]

My pickups are on the way Jackass. Keep an eye out.

[specialk]

Once again, thanks to all the folks at Hamer for keeping us up to date with the pics of their incredible work showcasing some kickass custom orders!

[Northfield]

It looks great, all polished up and stuff. I just hope we have the screws for the pickups, Jackass!?!?!

[coolfeel]

Fuck yah - that is amazing! David B is gonna cream his drawers...

[Feynman]

Wow.

[Jackass]

I have everything except the rod cover. We'll figure that out. Personally, I don't keep a truss rod cover on any of my guitars, acoustic or electric. I also don't wear underwear.

I wouldn't mind a bell shaped truss rod cover like the old Hamer style if it will fit properly. I do have 1 old one. Are the new Gibson ones exactly the same?

[Steve Haynie]

Just make a bell shaped truss rod cover!

[Thundersteel]

Maybe an underwear-shaped TRC?

[Northfield]

Jackass rocks!!!!!!!!!

AW Man! I always wait to look in here last when I see it has been posted to on Sunday mornings. It always has the BEST Saturday posts.

[anotherfreak]

WOW..............

totally speechless..........

[gorch]

Jackass rocks!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't need a video to see what's going!

[Northfield]

From this point on only close up shots.....

PS: Jackass is trying to locate the other four strings..

[Bobby Marshall]

Looks like an old bell trc would fit just fine on her.

What a guitar!

Nice!

Feck ! This just gets better and better.

I'd want a Gibson shaped TRC like the old Standards have but I don't think one would fit as the route looks too big.

Is this the reason why they changed from the Gibson shape to the strange shaped TRC they use now ?

I just sent a bell cover to them. It may or may not cover the route, I'm not sure either. If it fits properly, that will be cool. If not, I'll go with the new style which also looks good.

This gonna be one helluva Standard - may be the closest they have ever produced to the original 4-digits since that era...

[devrock]

I'm really confused right now. There are still some Hamers being finished up???

It's an easy way to tell an old one from a new one, if the "standard" Gibson one doesn't fit you could easily make one up a similar shape.

Yes.

Orders that were placed before the early December, 2012 cutoff are still being finished. Those are what we're seeing here in this thread.
