Case Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 It’s been awhile since I’ve bought anything for myself, but this popped up on TGP for the going-rate price in Very Good condition AND the seller wanted one of my small amps in trade, so it worked out! My all time fave finish on a Hamer and dot inlays for a perfect, moderately bling-y look. Currently has Rio Grande BBQ and Texas pickups - they suit it well. Neck will require some getting used to on my part as I’m a 90s thin-neck-Hamer/Gibson 60s slim guy and this is definitely more of a ‘59 carve, but is very comfortable - just not what I’m used to. pics!
BubbaVO Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 Studios are cool. That RG GT/BBQ pickup combination is better than the SD 59/JB to my ears. Enjoy.
Travis Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 Congrats on the score! I had an old ‘95 Special FM in Aztec Gold that was your Studio’s flat topped twin. Tried a Rio BBQ/Texas set in it and they were definitely an upgrade over stock.
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 That looks just like my 2006: yours has the pickup config I want (mine has chrome-covered pickups)...
Jimbilly Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 I had a BBQ bucker, and I can't remember the other one, in a studio custom a had a long time ago, - it was whatever was commonly paired from them around 20 years ago. I remember I really liked the Rio Grandes in that guitar.
Kookaburra Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Very nice, congrats! I get you regarding the neck in contrast to some earlier models. My 2004 Artist’s neck is much beefier than my 93 Special. Fortunately both work for me!
