Travis Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Ok, I think it’s time for a thread devoted to the different limited runs that Hamer did over the years (not one off customs). Probably cuz I’m sitting on the patio with a beer and some Zeppelin playing. But, I digress. Show us what you’ve got... Earthen Maple Talladegas and Studios 30th Anniversary Studios Redwood Studios Special K and Ecstasy Koa Studios etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Ok, here’s a couple... A 96 korina Eclipse. 1 of 10, or maybe 12 (according to Kim Keller) that Frank Rhindone had commissioned. A previous owner had routed for a P90 but I still had to have it. Why anyone would cut on such a rare piece is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Here is #13 Vector. I changed the guard, but it’s easy to put back to stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I have a korina HB Special, but no pics handy. I *think* it is one of 6 or 7... You said Hamer, but I’m throwing in a Dean too... Just ‘cause. It’s one of 4 (I think) NAMM guitars from when Dean returned to the company (he didn’t build this one). Baseball bat neck from heck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why anyone would cut on such a rare piece is beyond me. Hot damn, I didn’t even know that eclipse existed. I’ve often thought about picking up an eclipse because everything I’ve read has said that they balance perfectly and I’m a huge fan of the wrap tail. Being a slab body and fairly bare bones would make it a perfect workhorse guitar enough to get past the aesthetic that many people don’t care for. That Korina makes the asymmetrical horns look GOOD... I get what you’re saying about routing for the p90 but I’m willing to bet the neck pickup sounds ungodly. If it doesn’t then I know a one man outfit who could wind something special for that. Tell me it has a skinny neck so I don’t pester you about selling it to me from now until the end of time...

Yeah man, the neck is anorexic! If I ever need to move it, I'll tell the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the lower three are reversed from the upper three. Is that always the way they’ve been? I mean, whatever keeps the intonation on point. I guess I had never looked that closely before.

How's Florida ??? Florida is beautiful, hot and overrun by people from New York. I haven't run into "Florida Man" but Bentley driving Long Island man is pretty common. I'm enjoying it.
