For those who have excellent memories (or no life) and actually remember that 80% of my posts here are about Hamer Californians, this will not come as a shocker.
Scored an '88 USA Hamer Cali Std. last week. Unremarkable, save for the fact that it's missing a reversed head stock, "boomerang" inlays and an ebony board.
But wait! A quality shredder like this, while missing critical components and features, is STILL an excellent canvas for my latest round of modding! And what modding this will be! The only original part(s) left on this when completed will be the body wood and the cable jack.
* Custom ordered maple/maple board neck w/ reversed head, stainless steel 6150 frets, black boomers, and a gun oil finish. Mmmm.
* New Schaller Lock Meister trem
* SD Jason Becker Perpetual Burn HB bridge and HotRails neck p'ups replacing the EMG 81/SA.
* CTS volume pot, Gotoh black 3 way toggle (replacing the dreaded Strat-style blade switch)
* Schaller Strap Locks
* new paint!
