that sounds like the perfect Cali!

Someone needs to ask Mr. Hamer why the end of the fretboard angle doesn't match the pickup angle.. I don't get it and it's bugging me! But other than that, awesome guitar!!

I have always wondered that too...

Thanks, Neilli. I don't the frequent TGP but now that I've checked it out, that one was listed already in the Hamer forum. I had one just like it, (imo mine was better- bound neck and deeper flame) but sold it because me and solid maple don't get along. Too bright.

How's this for the perfect Cali storm?

I ordered a custom Californian a year ago and on Monday I saw a pic of it painted and awaiting the hardware. It's a set neck with 2H config and will have a satin finish neck. I'm guessing it'll get here right around the time my Dan Lawrence painted, modded Cali Limited Edition arrives.

That Limited Edition, which I'm calling "the Python" for obvious reasons, will feature new jumbo frets, Bare Knuckle Holy Diver in the bridge, a Lil' 59 neck, a FU big brass block, new Schaller Floyd and a satin neck finish.

But wait, it gets better. The '91 Midnight Blue custom Cali that I posted about (and tried to sell at one point) is also in the hands of a trusted luthier. It's gonna come back professionally buffed out, with an EVH Frankenstein in it, a 500K pot, a new FU big brass block, new trem posts, and crowned, leveled, polished frets.

All three mentioned will be joining the iridescent Cali LE shown in the post above, along with another '89 purple metal flake LE and a modded, Mike Learn painted '91 Elite.

Fuck yeah.

Good thing you ordered a year ago. Hamer is closing shop here in the US. They have stopped taking orders for customs, will complete what they have in the works for USA guitars and Fender is closing them down.

Trust me when I say I am all too aware of that fact. I got the heads up within hours of it being conveyed to my dealer. As lame as this sounds, I'm really bummed. I'll be getting one of the very last orders to come out of the shop.

You sure love those! Grats!

And I love me some Fender, but they know fuck all about running/ruining other brands.

Too true.
