Should have done the headstock and forgotten about nostalgia. That color is so beautiful.

@lazyboyandtherockers8050 6 месяцев назад

Just a little advice, no disrespect intended at all. Love you guys. Anyhow when sanding especially on a see-thru finish, always go with the grain. No circular or cross grain sanding. It will show up after the clear is applied and ages. Guitar looked good though and sounded better.

Wow, another beautiful job. Fantastic craftmanship. The only thing maybe I'd do different is paint Van Halen stripes on the pickguard to match the headstock. Still, no complaints, she's awesome.

Double locking Trem? I had a dark blue sparkle one for a while. GREAT guitar for the $100 I paid for it WITH a Tweed HSC! I played the shit outta that thing. I wore out the knife edges on the trem and it would go wildly out of tune if you used the bar or put too much pressure on the bridge resting your hand on it . Sold it to Guitar Center. They gave me $140 trade in credit for it! Paid $100 for it, played it for two years and was paid $40 for the privilege! Ha! They even let me keep the case!

@UToobSteak 5 месяцев назад

Nice! I had a Peavey Patriot in the early nineties that I really liked. It was super light and sounded awesome. I traded it for a Dean playmate, because the Peavey was an unfinished body, and the Dean was shiny lol. Wish I still had that old Peavey

@johnmueller6240 7 месяцев назад

This is a Slammer XP-1 by Hamer. They were made in Korea and later Indonesia. The Slammers had bolt on necks while Hamer USA guitars of this type had set necks. Hamer USA guitars have held their value very well, Slammers not so much.

The original Hamer Standards, also shaped like Gibson Explorers, are some of the best looking guitars ever made..in my opinion at least. They had those nice maple tops with burst jobs on them. They looked like a combination of a 60 LP and an Explorer. Rick Neilson loved them too.

@jaime.27.CBR. 3 месяца назад

It’s a Scarred Shreddings! So he bought it new in the 90’s? Or it was used in the 90’s? Either way, he wore those frets to the bone - how long did that take, lol?! And he put new strings - was he still playing it, lol?! Gotta love a well loved and played guitar that made music a memories! Btw, those screws? If you nick yourself on them, you better get a tetanus shot! 😂😂😂 That thing just got some much needed love. Great touch that you added lumen lays for fret markers. Trey will always think of the love you gave his guitar you every time he plays that thing at night. It’s like mood lighting! Edit: just saw the end of the video. That purple was a surprise finish! Pun intended, lol. Wasn’t expecting to see that! Cool! Looking forward to hearing Trey play it live!

@fonduemonkey 7 месяцев назад

SMG, have you ever heard of Evo Gold (white bronze?) fret wire from Germany? They supposedly make propellers and prop shafts out of it. Goodall Guitars uses it on their acoustics. Some say it is as durable as stainless yet has a better sound; perhaps a more "nickel-like", warm sound as apposed to the chimier stainless at the same price as stainless. Yes i am aware that the difference in tone between nickel and stainless are quite negligible, however it would be cool to see you try it on one of your next builds. Would like to hear your opinion on it, and thanks for sharing your videos!

@davepugh7961 7 месяцев назад

I unfortunately may be forced to do my first refret, with stainless, and under the most roughest of conditions, with minimal and cheap tools. As far as the hodgepodge of screws goes, sometimes it truly is any port in a storm captain.

@scarmyguitar 7 месяцев назад

You can do it man!

@davepugh7961 7 месяцев назад

Oh, of that, I have no doubt. The questionable part is how playable it will be when I'm done. In the meantime, I am also trying to justify it on a fernandes dragonfly x when I could just get a new guitar for a few dollars more.

@monmixer 7 месяцев назад

I have a 1980 Hamer Standard. Bought it brand new on September 30 1980. Bad ass guitar. Plays like butter and it's a rock machine. It's a case queen now and worth some serious cash!! Mine certainly does not have bolt on neck. I have owned three Hamer USA models. Chose them over Gibson in the late 70's. Better quality and the prices were not ridiculous for a hand made by pro luthier guitar. None of those had bolt on necks. They were all hand crafted in the USA. The ones I owned that is.
