Kalessin Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I picked up a Korina Special on here recently, and somebody said the skeleton backplate was something some HFC members had gotten made. What was the story there?
kizanski Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 If you're asking "why a skeleton?" it refers to their "Tone to the bone" slogan from many years back.

Was it just someone who randomly decided to make them? Was it at a member event? Was it just the plates, or was it plates on specific guitars?
Studio Custom Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Someone did it as a goof. Others liked it. It was decided to round up interested parties and place a bulk order. They were ordered and distributed. It was not nearly as exciting as you were hoping. 1 minute ago, Sugartune said: That's the ENTIRE story? When were they made, what was it for?

bruce919 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Find a local trophy shop that has a laser, just bring them design and you back plate. Done. I am 99% sure that how it was done one the ordinal batch. I have 3 with the checkerboard logo. They are just burning off the black Anodizing. Over time the Aluminum could oxidize in the exposed ares & turn white and little powdery.
BTMN Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Mr. Bones from the back of my Hamer denim jacket with the slogan.
Steve Haynie Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Have you ever worn your jacket? Mine got completely worn out.
BTMN Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 You can't quite tell but I'm also wearing a Cheap Chick button in this really old shot taken at a show in Jacksonville a few years ago.
Steve Haynie Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I think stokesdead had something to do with those back plates.
