killerteddybear Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 That's right purty! I wonder if the serial number survived.

santellavision Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 He replied: serial number is barely visible - 542991
ArnieZ Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 That finish works really well with the eclipse body shape! arniez
ptm1diver Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Is it me or the picture angle. The strings look like the don’t line up properly over the pickups, or the pickups look a little crooked.
hamerhead Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 The dots are off-center, too. ETA: Dave has never owned an uncool guitar. Ever.
velorush Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 He's actually got the ruby slippers Les Paul Signature and the L-5 listed, as well (documented on the HFC some time back). Always tastefully done, fantastic guitars! Dave's Cabinet of Guitar Curiosities

The strings look like the don’t line up properly over the pickups, or the pickups look a little crooked. Good eye! I thought it was odd that there was no full on shot of the complete guitar from straight ahead. This just goes to show the value of this kind of image.
velorush Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Wow! Not sure what photo has you guys spooked, but here's a photo from the original NGD post (it's archived, so it requires a right click on the JPG links and then a choice of "open in new tab") - different pickups, but I think you can see clearly the strings are aligned properly. Are there Hamer USA's in the wild with crooked string alignment? I've never heard of it, but I've only been on the board around twelve years.

BadgerDave Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 I'm thinking of pausing the sale and reverting back to the original chrome pickup rings. Which do you all think looks best, black or chrome:
velorush Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 I prefer the chrome. Not to the extent it would be decisive in a purchase scenario, but I think the chrome works better with the elaborate paint scheme.
