Holy crown!!!!IMG_0956_zps0b14e36b.jpg

Is it just me or is the face of Jesus on the right side of this inlay ??

I think that is Jol ;):wacko:

When I posted that pic I had no idea it had a face in it. After seeing it I had to find something I've been carrying for more than fifteen years.

I've always been fascinated with the way wood looks (flame, grain pattern etc.) This one had something extra.

As you all know all the wood has to go through an inspection at Hamer. Fingerboards were one of the most scrutinized .This one had something at the end of it, and we were all like....Holy shit, it looks like....!!! I had the cut off piece sprayed and the guitar that got that FB was put in the book.

I've spent the last 15 minutes turning my head, turning my monitor, adjusting brightness/contrast trying to make something out.

I see nothing :huh:

At best I see a sleeping hospitalized monkey at the very bottom.

You can tell he's in the hospital from the oxygen hose wrapped under his nose and over his ears.

That's cool, almost 3D looking like it comes to a peak. It's Yoda on top of the peak above the lions face at the bottom.

Looks like Fender needs to host The Final Hamer Fan Club Factory Meeting and have a Hamer Garage Sale at that meeting. They can unload all these completed guitars and uncompleted projects, necks, bodies, misc parts, and that mythical, highly coveted stash of Hamer USA Stadium decals n checkerboard decals n skeleton n Studio decals, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe a few sustainiacs are laying around or one of those damn onboard pre-amps like the ones in Duotones n VintageS n T51F that have a very brief half-life.

Just my $0.07 (adjusted up from 2 cents due to the looming inflation tsunami)

Cheers

ps - This proposed Final HFC Factory Meeting would give us all the opportunity to properly grieve the passing of Hamer Guitars. We can heal together. Perhaps a few rounds of Kumbaya, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Amazing Grace, etc will soothe our guitar luvin souls. Maybe we can convince John Hiatt to drop by to play "Smashing a Perfectly Good Guitar".

Went to Chesterfield, just south of Richmond. Different world down there. Sorry for the late response. Just recovering from the ride. Jesus Christ.
