Steve Haynie Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Some boomerangs? So does that mean it has a combination of boomers and dots, or is it all boomers, or is just a couple of boomers, or was it used in a Nike promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGJ Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've never seen boomers with dots before. How's it sound? ... The guitar, not the fret markers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the “Deluxe” version - Alder body and EMGs, and the 2xBoomer fretboard. Only did those for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 They don’t show up often. Call me crazy, but that’s my favorite style of inlays evah produces by Hamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce919 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 It plays very good, other then a fretboard cleaning the guitar look like it left the factory last week. The the guitar sound more strat like then shredder , don’t know if it’s the alder body and or the EMGs. Always on the fence on EMGs , they have great articulate voice on clean to semi distorted tones , but when you crack up the gain the all sound the same . I’ll get a few more pics posted this weekend . It a great looker and player. It’s Gonna be around for a while. @cmatthes the serial number on this one is only 6 numbers away from your old Standard . i had a 92 Cali deluxe in the black and gold granite finish . Sold it to another HFC’er in Chicago , wish I had not sold that one too. If you wanna sell it back let me know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only did those for a short while. The other cool feature on this particular model is the subtle scallops in the cutaways. I have two of 'em. A black cherry sparkle and a black sparkle with flakes that are more gold than silver. Great score, Bruce. -Bobby On 6/14/2019 at 2:43 PM, cmatthes said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorrow Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Isn’t that the guitar Nick had here? If it is, I did play it. For some reason I didn’t like the lead tones I got from it on Nick’s amp. However, it produced a very modern rhythm sound, very dense and powerful. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
