dhuber Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Wow! Maybe I'm crazy, but if I was in the market for a Studio I'd grab that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ua D Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The ebony board does it for me too. Hmmmm. Maybe if I bought it and sold my studio custom. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currypowder Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Very nice. I'm pretty sure the seller is our own @KofSeattle. I've purchased from him in the past, his gear is well cared for and he's great to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM OF HAMER Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Beautiful guitar in every way.................... some may not like the "VICTORY" inlays but WOW! what a top on this one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lang Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Sooooo tempted to grab this. I'd have to sell my Black 79 Sunburst though. Anyone want a '79 Sunburst, Black? I'll cut you a good deal 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Custom Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 That top may not pop as much in real life as it does under flash photography. To get that PRS pop at all times it would have to be double stained, which Jol was completely against. The only example I know of Hamer doing a double stained top was for Eastcoast Music Mall to get Ed Roman to become a dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Nice! Reminds me of the blister quilt top that was used for a circa 1993/4 Studio FM catalog shoot...the only FM I've ever seen with that kind of quilt top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why Hamer had problems down the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed saw the potential compete better with PRS, Hamer was not interested, they felt it was "cheating". Look who won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 That is pretty cool, not unreasonably priced either I used to ask Jol about staining at the open houses. He definitely wasn't a proponent of it. Then later... he opened it up to staining the black trans guitars (that look didn't blow me away). I'm not sure whether the problem was not staining, or that Hamer was trying to shoehorn buyers to a higher end model, or at the very least, a $400 upcharge for nice tops, and in doing so, put a lot of guitars in the market (FM Specials, studios in '59 burst) that had average tops. IMHO at least I guess he wanted to be true to nature of the wood, but how far does that get you when PRS is blasting the market with eye popping tops. BTW How much was a billet of AAAA stuff in the 90’s. $50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Scepter Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I tell ya, this is such a nice guitar... And it's an outright crime that a comprable Les Paul "if you can find one" would be over 7K+... and I would still bet that this guitar would be better in every possible way... the chosin Woods, Hardware, Electrics, Build quality, attention to detail & playability... Hamer rules! 🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
