Victor (Fret Friend) Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Oooh the old Scarab and a good one! I loved this shape years ago but somehow like Exporers more now! Maybe I got older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamerica Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Congrats on your first USA Hamer. The Scarab is a great choice, I have always liked guitars shaped like objects your mother told you not to run with. USA Hamers are like Lays Potato Chips, no buddy can stop at just one. Look forward to the Tone Report. Best wishes, Hamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cboss Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thank you guys so much, I will definitely post a tone/hands on report when it shows up; have fresh strings waiting! I am anticipating being blown away, love the Lay's potato chip analogy, I can tell that that's the way it's going to go! Hopefully I can find a standard for less than 10,000 LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cboss Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 A question on the string clamp, I haven't had one of these before.. are you supposed to get your strings to pitch using the tuners, clamp this down then leave it and make all future pitch adjustments with the fine tuners on the tremelo?

My Kahler has grown on me over the years, I like those now. I keep remembering an ice-pearl Scarab I should have bought about 20-25 years ago. Congrats!

And you do this while you chuckle at Floyd users for believing their more difficult method is better and sounds superior. But it's better and sounds superior.
