SOLD -- 1998 Custom Hamer Blue Sparkle Phantom / Stike Murkat

[lang]

SOLD, Staying in the HFC!  Thanks!

--

This started life as a new 1998 Hamer Phantom that bubs_42 had a vision for.  

Converted by Murkat to use a sustainblock, refinished by Stike in a blue sparkle finish that is truly extraordinary.  I would have never though a sparkle finish could be this tastefully done.  It's gorgeous.

Neck is a Duncan Custom Shop Lil Pearly Gates.
Bubs commented on the previous for sale post that he thought the bridge humbucker was a Pearly Gates and the bridge single was stock.

One of the switches works like the switch on a prototype, and lets you configure the bridge to be single / humbucker / both.  The second switch lets you select neck / bridge / both.  Push / Push Tone pot switches between series and parallel.  You like tonal options?  You have tonal options.

We're all pretty desensitized to seeing the "RARE! One Of A Kind!" hyperbole on for sales posts but... yea...  Some talented people put a lot of effort into making this something pretty special.  I hope it finds a new home in the HFC.

One of the rare examples of mods making a guitar more valuable than stock. That is killer.

LOVE IT! And science has proven that Blue guitars (and ORANGE!) sound better!

[Stike]

That was a fun one. Roth Trippin' Flake color Crystal Beth over Pelham Blue.

That one kicks all kinds of @$$...

I couldn't agree more.

Both the Silver Sparkle and Blue Sparkle builds were thought out down to every detail. The color, the pickups, the knobs, everything was done for a reason. 

 @murkat handing the changeover to Sustainblock and additional routing of the neck pickup, and the color is pure magic @Stike .  You cannot build one like this for the money, hell you couldn’t build one for this money when I did it. Trust me, I know.  

Medium 90’s Carve that is perfect, the quality of construction IMHO surpassed the 80’s builds. These were futuristic “Vintage/Modern” interpretation of what I would have ordered as custom orders if I had the chance. 

If you have to ask me why I sold the, then you just don’t know me. 

[murkat]

pictures do not depict, interpret the depth of that finish at all. it is truly incredible.

 

and sounds, plays great.

[cmatthes]

I dig that finish!!

[gorch]

Very nice! The sustain block makes it a killer.

[tomteriffic]

God DAMMIT!  I'm supposed to be getting stuff out of here, not in!
