BTMN Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 New guitar day. Resto-modded Hamer Vector. Extensive work including reset neck with new frets and block inlays. Headstock reshaped. Veneer added to body after neck pickup cavity filled. Bill and Becky 500L pickup to the bridge slot. Great looking ride but the only downside is it needs a lil tweaking after settling in to the Florida climate.
BTMN Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 Sustain Blocks Rule!!! This is a Mann made bridge.
cmatthes Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Looks killer, Gene! Let us know when you get 'er dialed in...life is good, and that's a '70s era Aerosmith machine!
Tortious Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Nice Vector, but shouldn't you have one of these, too? https://www.themusiczoo.com/products/1989-bolin-batman-guitar 🤑
Brooks Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 that looks kickarse. How are those bill & Becky pups? What's their company called, they sold Lawrence, right?
DaveH Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 I thought Bill checked out some time back(?)...

BTMN Posted February 5, 2022 Author Posted February 5, 2022 Haven’t had a real chance to crank this one up yet. If the BL is anything like the old ones it should be good. I had a pair of those in an old SG years ago and it cranked. Somewhere between a PAF and a Super Distortion in many ways.
Jakeboy Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Bill and Becky’s outfit is now called Wilde Pickups, though Bill did pass a few years back. L90s, L200s, and L500s are def late 70s Aero tones.

BTMN Posted February 7, 2022 Author Posted February 7, 2022 I didn’t have it converted. I bought a restomod he has done.
Steve Haynie Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Are you sure you are not too old for a rock machine like that?
Disturber Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Very cool. To bad the headstock was altered. Still looks like a great player though! Congrats!
