ptm1diver 1,110 Posted November 2, 2020 Share 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.  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

velorush 5,553 Posted November 2, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

velorush 5,553 Posted November 3, 2020 Share 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.  3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerDave 2,282 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm thinking of pausing the sale and reverting back to the original chrome pickup rings. Â Which do you all think looks best, black or chrome: Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
velorush 5,553 Posted November 4, 2020 Share 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
