coolfeel 1,401 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I honestly can't help but to get pissed off quite a bit when I see the magic that unfolds when these gentleman touch a piece of wood and then to realize we are witnessing the last vestiges of a once great guitar company...

DBraz 4,110 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I love this thread. What a gutter that Hamer went the way it did. The customers who get these last custom orders are going to feel pretty special. Link to post Share on other sites

FMIC wasn't making any off Hamer. Moot point. Hope the rumors I've heard in recent times prove to be of substance. Link to post Share on other sites

HamStd 1,745 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That's a nice looking piece of wood. That's what she said...... Sorry couldn't resist. Link to post Share on other sites
marcnorth 372 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That's a nice looking piece of wood. That's what she said...... Sorry couldn't resist. I saw another nice looking 4 digit piece of wood over on The Last Bass Post last night. He didn't say who he got it from but I know it was one of yours. When are you going to cut loose a nice 4 string short scale? I know you've got some in your stash. Link to post Share on other sites

Hamersaur 311 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I love this thread. Thank's to all for the photos and updates. That Cali is just friggin awesome. When you guys finish something like that, do you feel a bit of regret (for lack of a better word) in seeing it go? To me it looks like you guys leave a little part of yourself in every build.

specialk 3,812 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 To me it looks like you guys leave a little part of yourself in every build. No, I'm pretty sure they still have all their fingers. Great stuff! Thanks for all the pics. Link to post Share on other sites
