  • '82 Hamer Vector repainted.

    This killer old Hamer arrived to me with a nasty break in the headstock and neck. I tackled the repair myself but wanted someone else to paint it for me in a Rhoads polka dot scheme. It's almost finished, pickups and decal only remain to be installed. As you can see, I eliminated the floyd nut holes through the neck(thanks Newc!). Before & after pics..








    The repair is rock solid and the guitar plays great. Ths neck profile is Hamer's medium version...very comfy and fast.

        That is quite a transformation. Nice work.

        Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

                  It was one of the guys from a local body shop, a friend of a friend. He only charged me $225 as it was his first guitar.
