deadringer Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Selling another USA Hamer Standard Custom in Black Transparent. This was a custom order by Willcutt's Guitars.

Chrome hardware, with factory TonePros locking bridge, tailpiece and Schaller Tuners. It has a few small impressions on the bottom lower left horn as pictured. These are very hard to photograph.

BubbaVO Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 That's looks so cool. Just saw that it's under 8 lbs! Wow! GLWTS
tbonesullivan Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 WOW. A work of art. I'd be afraid to play it. Good luck with the sale!
geowolves Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Wow! Somebody is gonna win! Nicest I've seen in my perverted mind!
gorch Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Wonderful ! I remember I have seen this one before. Great example of a Standard. Would suit my selection quite well though.

Scarab85 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Just curious...what do the Loller Firebird pickups sound like in a Standard? I had an early '90's Gibson Firebird and remember the pickups being very bright and not really as aggressive as a full size humbucker. But that could have just been the way the stock Gibson pickups were. How would you compare it side by side with the humbucker Standard tonally?
deadringer Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 It is definitely brighter than a regular humbucker, but I would not say they’re not as aggressive. They can definitely hang with buckers in my opinion. The Lollar firebird pickups are really good, but they do have some bite to them. The ToneStyler really helps produce a lot of different tonal variations to tame the brightness.
bruce919 Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Your killing me here... wanted one of those since Willcutt's did that run of guitars. Home remodeling project going right now, so no extra $
conorb Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 That guitar was originally mine and I sold it to deadringer. It was an easy transaction and he's a good guy to deal with. Killer guitar for someone. conorb
Jakeboy Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I have found I love Firebird pups the best for humbuckers....at least today. That thing is drop dead gorgeous and I bet it does everything from Strat tones to full on buckers. Wow. GLWTS. That is just stunning....
Caddie Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 In keeping with the chrome, black, and overall bsd ass theme, may I suggest removing the gold speed knobs and installing chrome or black chrome Skull of Death knobs
soulfield Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Man, I've never even played (or held a standard for that matter) but this thing is beautiful! Certainly on my list to try in the near future. GLWTS!
BubbaVO Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 What a beauty. Somewhat surprised this is still around. GLWTS.
