GRINDER Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hello all, I have a Hamer I believe might be the Pizza Day Standard. It’s a 1995 model c.s. flame top and has a bunch of fingerprints, etc. under the finish. The neck has also been repaired. Does anyone have any information that might help to positively identify her?

GRINDER Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 It keeps telling me my file is too large even for a single photo off my iPhone, like I said I’m a Luddite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should convert it to a smaller file size. Quality won’t be as good but should be good enough for purposes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRINDER Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Yep that’s the serial number alright. You’re one hell of a record keeper Kizanski! Thanks for the information. I had been considering a professional refinish and a better hidden neck repair or replacement but now that I know it has some history I might want to leave her as is.

GRINDER Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I’m surprised it never caught on as a custom finish option, I guess somebody forgot to tell Gibson they could charge an extra grand or two for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRINDER Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Looks like it’s had a pickup change since you had it. I’ll have to see what’s under the hood. Whatever they are they sound good damn good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockbody Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I think those might be the Dimarzios I put in. If so, it’s a Breed bridge and... umm... What a great guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I never had this one, I have been so lucky as to have had in my possession one of kizanski’s sloppy seconds. Not that I think that puts me in any small minority at all...

JGale Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yes. I got it from AdmiralB (before I totally pissed him off) and sent it on its way to the K. Standards sit in your lap so fine. The constant erection pressing into your upper chest is a bit annoying, but the neck is perfectly placed. 🆖 5️⃣ 🗿 💡 🍅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRINDER Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Breed in the bridge and an air classic in the neck. Actually they are very comfortable guitars to play both sitting or strapped. I have had this one for about 8 years and it has remained in my stable when a whole bunch of others have passed on to new homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 That shape IS surprisingly comfortable. And it has an arm rest. Seriously. The thing with the oddball shapes of the 50s was that they were trying to make a guitar that didn't look like a classical, but could be held in your lap like a classical. A V is meant to be wrapped around your right leg and sit with the neck at 45 degrees like classical players prefer. Explorer shape wasn't as focused on seated playing, but similar ergonomic and balance issues were thought of, I'm certain. And, at least, the Standard hangs on a strap nice.
