thebisch Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hello, my first post! I rescued a previously bad repaired then broken again '93 Hamer Special. It is now my favorite "Gibson" I own! Here are some before and after pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugartune Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nice work. How's the heel look? Were you able to hide the screws and staples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjamiam Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Welcome! Agree, looks 100% better now. I'm liking the matte black finish. Visible scars will show that it's lived life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebisch Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sorry, I should have noted, I did not do the work. I had a local guy do the work and paid for the "not pretty but stable" repair, ie: the cheapest solid repair. Doesn't look too bad, but it is for sure not an invisible repair. Doesn't matter to me seeing all the other scars and the slightly routed pickup cavities. Besides, chicks dig scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
