There's no way I can participate though I would love to. I own a Hamer Daytona and I love it! I work that day and internet access for anything other than work is a firing offense. My workday starts at 7:30 am and ends at 5:30 pm eastern. Just my luck...

Too cool --- shows that Seymour Duncan and Jol Dantzig are still players' manufacturers. Big thanks to all for the opportunity.
My Strat with the new neck is in bad need of a setup :scratchch

Now seeing as I won last time I shouldn't be included anyway but what if an international winner were to agree to pay for his/her shipping both ways?
Of course all international participants should agree to be included and to pay for shipping BEFORE the appointed time or say a "I hereby agree blah blah blah" as a P.S. at the post.
I know this complicates things some but perhaps it'll offer a fighting chance to some more bros

I wouldn't necessarily ask Jol about recreating any pointy headstock era guitars.
All the tooling, ect is destroyed from that era.
And whatever you do don't mention this guy:
I had a conversation with Jol on Nov 13 1996, at an exhibition in Washington, D.C,, where Les Paul was speaking, I met Ted McCarty, Paul Reed Smith, many people and when I reached the Hamer booth.
It was fresh in my mind the leaving of Steve Stevens from Hamer and the ethnic cleansing following his departure, like Steve had never been there.
This was post the same scenario at Washburn, where Steve lasted less than a year in 1993, with them. I asked Jol in all innocence what had happened with Steve (a loyal SD user for many years by the way), he just said, and I quote "I would have coffee any day with Steve, but as far as working together again...." Long pause and that was it.
So as previously mentioned I wouldn't ask about the resurgence of the Centura model, ect.
Sure Hamer makes great hand built guitars, but they are with respect, older player type guitars..the eighties era is over. Maybe not for some of us, but for Hamer, yes..

Maybe it's just me, but I think everyone over the age of 30 and under the age of 50 needs at least one super-strat if they ever liked or listened to metal of any sort. I fell into the "I hate super strats" crowd after owning a US Fender HM Strat with a deplorable Kahler tremelo system on it that was a disaster. It took me over a decade to get over owning that one crappy guitar. Now I like them again, but I only want OFR guitars now.

Picked this up back in September 2006...
Shorty
:13: I like it much better without the guard on it. :13:
So Jol, any idea how many mini Standards have been built and how many Limba?
Initially I wasn't a fan of the Duncan Distortion bridge and Pearly Gates neck combo on this until I had it about 10 days and them BLAM!!! The way it worked hit me. Great lil guitar.

Here's some of mine that I restored (lots of Duncan's in there to):
And here's two Hamer restorations I'm currently working on:

You got a full picture of that last black HS? Looks like a cousin of my Cyclone.
