Enjoy the hell out of it. Those people at Hamer really know how to make a guitar.
 
Re: NGDC Love Me Some Hamer And Limba....

Yeah man, I have been a Hamer owner for 30 years. Still have that Standard too. Can't wait to get this in hand. Hopefully by the end of the month or right after the first of the year.

Man, I can't wait. Over halfway home. :friday:

Nice score Gene. I.was really sad to hear about Hamer recently, though I called it on their demise a year or so ago.. Makes me wish even more I could have kept my Monaco. Actually if I had my druthers I would want my whiskeyburst Standard back, but I digress.

Digress away.... :headbang: I have a feeling the brand isn't Dead yet but it is packed "under the bed" so to speak. I have never read "Official FMIC" word about the brand. I belive the folks who have commented on various places online about the state of Hamer brand but have not read a "press release" or trade paper story. I'm betting the next published issues of guitar mags might have something.

Back to this lil loverly though if I may. :eek5: I have a pair of Antiquities in the V on the left that are out and waiting for the Studio Custom.

I will put a pair of Zebra 59s in the V I think or a Black/Black PG in the neck and a Zebra TB4 in the bridge that I have sitting around.

Amazing looking axe Gene!!! Congrats!!! Im sure bummed about the Hamer closure.. Ive dreamed for years that I could score a standard with a black quilt top or something..
 
Re: NGDC Love Me Some Hamer And Limba....

Nice guitar. I too, am absolutely stricken with Black or White Korina. I like it better than Mahogany. I have built guitars with both tone woods.
 
Re: NGDC Love Me Some Hamer And Limba....

WOW!!!!


Ebony board, Sweet 10 crowns, Massive top, Push/Pull pot on the Tone knob, Had custom wiring and custom wound Duncans new also.

Came sans pickups. Got some double cream goodness to go in it and I cant wait to see it!
 
Re: NGDC Love Me Some Hamer And Limba....

That is insanely beautiful. If that top was blue, you'd want to jump in and go for a swim. Just beautiful.
 
Re: NGDC Love Me Some Hamer And Limba....

Lil reprise on this guitar now that it has had some really nice Custom wound Manlius pickups installed. As you may recall this was Elvis when he arrived....

There's no doubt about it, she's a beauty! Hows it play and sound?
 
Re: NGDC Love Me Some Hamer And Limba....

I had two push pull pots installed in the Volume knob positions. So far I am digging many of the sounds I have heard. Crunch to Clean it seems to gleem and chime.
