Hardrockracer Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 Hi y'all, does anyone here own an SS-3 at the moment? I need some close up pictures of the neck joint. I could use pictures from front, back and the sides. Additionally I would like infos about at which fret the neck joins the body (relative to the upper cutaway) and which fret is closest to the end of the neck pocket (in the direction of the headstock). If no fret is exactly alligned with bespoke end of the neck pocket what would be the offset and which fret would that be? I hope it is clear what I mean. Thank you. HRR
Biz Prof Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 Isn't an "SS-3" a Centaura? At least, its what it morphed into when Steve Stevens inked an endorsement with Washburn.

Disturber Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 The SSIII is the Centaura. Although Steve's own version had a few different things going on, only a few made for him. But body and neck seem to be 100% the same.
Hardrockracer Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 Guys, not quite. The SS-3 had 22 frets, not 24 like the Centaura. The neck joint might as well be different. And that's why I need all the info. The pics I am asking for should only be from the neck joint. Also, elaborating on the subject rather than supplying the requested info does not help me. Sorry.
Biz Prof Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Given that it was never an official model and apparently, only a few builds were made for Steve Stevens, finding examples in the wild might be a bit tough. But...you're obviously in the right place. I'd not be surprised if HFC members StudioCustom (Joe Barberi) or HamStd (the evil Dr. Fung) actually had one the examples made for SS. In the meantime, you'll find some pics of actual SS3 models made for Steve Stevens here: https://vintagewashburn.net/steve-stevens-signature-page-2/ I apologize in advance for elaborating on the subject. No one here is hankering to waste your time.

I just need more detailed pics of the neck joint and measurements. I am building a guitar that is pretty close to the SS-3. That's why this info is needed.
Jimbilly Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Marginally useful/useless but entertaining elaboration is what we do best here!
FreezingPoint Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Here this might help you. Tons of pics if you scroll through. https://www.jcfonline.com/forum/equipment/guitars-by-other-manufacturers/150590-history-of-the-hamer-ss-3-guitar-and-the-story-of-my-tribute-replica
