murkat Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Here it is. I gave it about a 3 week break in period here at the shop. Set it up, played the heck out of it, tweeked it here and there as time went on. Just re set it up, fresh strings, re ploished, etc. Very fine instrument, Exceeded my expectations in every way. Here is a laundry list in no picticular order. New~ OFR schaller $190 OFR Big block $ 34. Pots $ 22. cap $ 8. swtchcrft input $ 11. coral blue knobs $ 20. Bareknuckle yebel yell pickup $185. pup ring and other lil stuff $ 20. ivroid binding like Hamer stuff $ 22. Veneer maple top $36. string set $ 7. Used~ OEM hamer Chap case $90. Chap carcass $500. ish misc. shop $120. ish Butt load of man hours, handcrafting, materials, craftsmanship, and love, desire to re birth a great guitar. The tone print is awesome, the pickup is wired in which the tone control double duties as a coil cutter, yeilds a great tone, very P90 ish. The chap is lightly distressed, naturally aged with its past dings and play over its time of years. Very uber thin Laqcuer finsh process.

murkat Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 So...you guys,like itdis like ittoo muchdon't knowtoo radical for yaI thought this is, was a no brainer.No love?
lang Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I've been lurking here a while... I'll have you know that I've been _seriously_ drooling over this one since it popped up. Love it!
Tres Aardvarks Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 So...you guys,like itdis like ittoo muchdon't knowtoo radical for yaI thought this is, was a no brainer.No love?Honestly, I'm not sure why this hasn't sold!! Seriously! I am absolutely not in the market, but people say they are looking for Chapparals, something like this is available and they don't pull the trigger. I completely dig it, but ain't buying nothing for a long time.Maybe it's priced high (to them), and maybe people are still just trying to score a bargain. I certainly don't think that's an unfair price.
mc2 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Man, if Ronni Crooks was still alive she'd be all over this one. Ebony 24 fret Hamer neck like her lost Chap and In the same Trans Blueburst color as her custom endorser Vigiers.Beautiful axe!
murkat Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 It may be going to a new home Nice to know it be Ronni approved. I am sure She would have dug it.
analogsystem Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Just made it my desktop background pic. Absolutely wonderful job and I'm not normally into blue-burst type things….but with that axe it is just perfect. Someday I hope I can get something customized by you, sir. Hope it goes to a real shredder.
