1 bottlerocket Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I saw the Jr. with the humbuckers. That poor guitar.
Ua D Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I don’t really give a hoot who owned a guitar before me as long as it’s a guitar I want, but that jr is being sold by a working musician with some notoriety, if others are into that sort of thing. I kinda wish Hamer had made more korina specials with 2 humbuckers I bet it sounds badass https://www.buddlejagarden.co.uk/hamerblog/dumont.htm

santellavision Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 The Jr pickup spacing is wrong on the Bridge PU. Hmmmm.
burningyen Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Nicely spotted by Ua D. Interesting that Tom doesn't try to use his name to help move the guitar (or up the price). The 2HB setup actually looks pretty cool.
kizanski Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I like it, but then I've always had a thing for buckers with wrappers.

burningyen Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 The string alignment looks like more of a bridge issue than a PU issue, given that the high E string looks closer to the edge of the fretboard than the low E. Or it could be a combination of both. In any case, with a wraptail like that you could easily nudge the strings over a bit, and even file grooves to keep them where you want them.

But zooming in, the top of the pickup is parallel to the bottom of the neck and last fret. I think it's a little lens distortion. That guitar is badass: but I ain't shopping any more.

DaveL Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 listing ended on the korina, I had shot a decent offer (under asking but not horrible) and he declined. Looks like he got a few offers on it.
Kalessin Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Here's one with factory humbuckers, and at least a pound lighter. The only one I've seen except for Dumont's. About to try some BKP Blue Note humbucker-sized P90s.

Sad when any Hamer gets butchered. But that one I'd rock out like there is no tomorrow. Those knobs though..... poor thing. Love Antiquity humbuckers too.

duncans Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 I watched that one for well over a week on Reverb, probably longer. Couldn't quite pull the trigger for whatever reason even tho' I've wanted a JR. for a long while.
1 bottlerocket Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Those knobs belong on an MXR Distortion Plus.
