Eli Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Someone please tell me that there's something wrong with this guitar (besides the preamp)... Must. Not. Buy.

Just the aesthetic of the guard shape not matching the body shape; the guard being extended as if there would be a tone pot but then no tone pot; the switch mounted just off the guard rather than being on the guard...all of the above have the look of after-market mods done by a budding high school aged player than that of a finessed design by a maker of fine guitars.

"question the design choices one may" as Yoda would say...
DJL Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 Nice price !! Looking at it makes my Skin crawl , though ..... D.~

"question the design choices one may" as Yoda would say... Except for the neck bolt, it appears stock. @cynic, I agree the mismatched body carve and the guard look very sloppy and amateurish. The example in the OP ad isn't the only one.
cynic Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 I wasn't trying to imply it wasn't stock, sorry. That's 100% the work of Hamer as they all suffer from the same little bits of imperfection.
topekatj Posted November 10, 2021 Author Posted November 10, 2021 Stock schmock! There’s room on the pickguard to ADD the needed tone control AND the preamp switch can be repurposed as the coil split switch for the humbucker that’ll go into the bridge position!
jaded_musician Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 I’m about 15 minutes from this store. I can’t think of any reason I need another strat though and this is my least favorite version of these.
Ting Ho Dung Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 The body is 3/4 size and the headstock is black. Plus everything else you guys said.
LucSulla Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 I just don't understand how a m'fk'r loses one neck bolt. One pickguard screw, ok... sure. Control panel screw - we've all done that. But a neck bolt?

stonge Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 apparently someone was trying to recreate the mojo of the 70's three-bolt Fenders ("i think you're going about it the wrong way, son"). they also forgot the 'entombed in poly' finishing.
Aceldama Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 That store sucks. Called and emailed about the preamp. No answer.
