ARM OF HAMER Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I really liked Vernon back in the day when he was a Hamer user..................he did some really "OUT" things. How about posting some photos of the Hamers he used. I have not kept up with what he doing these days but his "RIG" here is really involved.................least way beyond what I ever used and have now.............cool though.Great player and looks like he has switched from the the Parkers to PRS. "RIG RUNDOWN" from some years back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPekZmNeuDs

sixesandsevens Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I seem to recall there was a tweet from Vernon about Shishkov Guitars starting up. Do we know yet if he's placed an order?

it's me HHB Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Is Mike doing anything remotely stratty? Vernon is a strat guy at heart
ARM OF HAMER Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Didn't he have a Malcom X Hamer Guitar? Remember seeing it on the front of some guitar mag.

Biz Prof Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Is that a Cali body with a HSS configuration?
Jeff R Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 It's actually more a Centaura platform with Cali cutaways/scallops/recesses.
ARM OF HAMER Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Didn't he have a Malcom X Hamer Guitar? Remember seeing it on the front of some guitar mag. Yep that be the one! Thank You! Wonder if he has any of these guitars hanging around yet?
Hamerica Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I seem to recall there was a tweet from Vernon about Shishkov Guitars starting up. Do we know yet if he's placed an order?Yeah, I remember something as well and would certainly like to see some of the "Hamer High Performance Race Team" with a Shishikov in hand.Best wishes,Hamerica
Tres Aardvarks Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Well, that's already starting to I seem to recall there was a tweet from Vernon about Shishkov Guitars starting up.

Best wishes, Hamerica That's already starting to roll, since Tommy Williams has played a Shishkov out, and Kev Bower is eagerly anticipating his Shishkov
Jeff R Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Digging deep into the vault. Here are a couple of very, very, very rarely seen ones. This is the only photo I've ever seen of this one. Photoshop noodling indicates it's a quilt maple body, onboard Roland and no personalized logo. There's a third one out there that's rarely ever seen with its share of interesting stories. I'll share more on it later this week.

SSII x 2 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Vernon's a cool guy. He showed up at one of the Hamer open houses in CT.No rock star attitude or anything, just one of the guys...
cmatthes Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Yes indeed - that was the first HFC Open House event at the factory in October, 1998. Vernon was in my group and couldn't have been a nicer guy.
MCChris Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 There's a third one out there that's rarely ever seen with its share of interesting stories. I'll share more on it later this week.
Jeff R Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Funny the timing of this thread ... this just arrived at my house today, after longing and at times pleading for it for many, many years. Back story coming soon. I'm going back to playing it for now. I'm surprised I put it down long enough to take pictures. What's your favorite colour, baby?
diablo175 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 That, ladies and gents, is a magnificent work of art! I cannot begin to describe the envy I have right now! DIBS!
Hamerica Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 "What's Your Favourite Colour?" Living Colour of course. Hamerica
