Awesome.
I love Standards.
Hamer won't do locking tuners anymore either, so that's a very special piece.

Sure they will. They'll even do a version with 24 frets, if you're willing to pay. You just gotta find the right dealer.Originally posted by Flatpicker

Hamer is the most finiky company to deal with ever!! One day it`s yes, the next No and then.......... #1, they hate their past now, so no bolt ons or shredders per say, like my favorite the set neck Hamer chapp Custom(I know, I asked, big NO). They may do a Floyd on a current model on the right day. I have almost given up on them, except used ones. The Standard and the Studio Custom are the only current ones left that I like. Jack.Comment

Actually, talked to Jol and Frank R.and got the big "No" on the locking tuners.Originally posted by toejamSure they will. They'll even do a version with 24 frets, if you're willing to pay. You just gotta find the right dealer.
If my dealer could have gotten them I would have a Hamer in the queue for 06.Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.Comment

Thanks guys!
Yes. Ebony board. Very tight grain.
You could always just buy a set of locking tuners and install them yourself. Schaller keys have the same bolt holes as there locking tuners. Same with Grovers. I know that is a pain in the ass and I have no idea why they would not do the upgrade but it is a prtty easy mod to do yourself.
It bugs the hell out of me that they don't take pride in the history the laid down as a company that could build a great bolt on/ 80's shred guitar.
I have had a few older 80's Hamers and I liked them all. My favorite was the Diablo. Those rocked!Comment

Very nice !!! Congrats on a beauty !!! If that had a Floyd, I wouldn't be able to walk to the blackboard ....

You are absolutely right that I could do it myself, but why?Originally posted by Firebird V
It's not a big change for them and I even offered to supply the tuners.
I can't see spending the money for a custom guitar and then having to mod it to be what I like anyway.
Enjoy that Hamer, Did you happen to get it from Lost art Vintage in NJ? Al's is a good guy. Jazz type of player.Last edited by Flatpicker; 04-13-2006, 10:04 PM.Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.Comment

BELLMAWR NJ.
I think he originally ordered that one up.
He has a ghost flame standard still in inventory.

Interesting. I got a quote for a 24-fret Monaco last year with locking tuners (from Al at Lost Art Vintage). Guess they changed their mind on what options they'll do again. LOLOriginally posted by Flatpicker
I had other things come up and sadly couldn't place the order, but I want to order a custom from them eventually.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment
