DBraz Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 It's a fantastic playing guitar. I've played it at Jim's on a few occasions and it has a huge sound and the finish quality is exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing he thought no one would pay more than treefiddy?🤣 Given the myriad misgivings expressed hereon re: my penchant for unique modifications and buggering up rare guitars, I figured it was a waste of time. @Kalessin- almost got my dander up. I totally missed the bit at the bottom. Stike did an amazing job with the finish and Josh Gravelin totally hooked me up with that custom build JV Special Mongoose.

Studio Custom Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So is this the beginning of the dismantling of the reverse headstock Cali collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Altho it’s not a guitar for me now, to old and fat. But there was a time I’d of been tickled pink to rock a guitar like this one. Great job on the build!!! I enjoyed watching you build it!! Thanks for sharing that and GLWTS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Scepter Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Please excuse me for my ignorance but is this a parts guitar?.. a custom replica? Where's the neck pickup?.. Or a modified Cali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the neck pickup?.. Or a modified Cali? Nope. This was a custom one pickup order. It had a blade switch that somehow impacted the Bartolini that was in there. It's been fully Diablo-cized (read: buggered) with new everything. Gravelin JV Special Mongoose, 500K CTS pot, Schaller trem, new SS jumbo frets, Dunlop strap locks, momentary killswitch, paint by Stike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my all-time favourite Hamers. Really stunningly modded.

DBraz Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 This guitar is the real deal and I’m amazed it’s still for sale. The mods are in keeping with the guitars character and there really can’t be many single humbucker Cali’s out there. Add to that a Stike finish which is as good as it gets...
