Can someone tell me what Gibson called the color of the LPDC that richey posted? Is it butterscotch like the OG Teles?

i want to say gibson calls that finish TV yellow...

LOOK WHAT I GOT YESTERDAY....



1998 Hamer Phantom! the pups are duncans but i am not sure which ones. the bucker sounds a bit like the jb4 that i have in another guitar but a bit more gainy maybe...

this thing is sweet!

Tell me it came with that sticker already on it.

^ sorry haki, i got home and put some new strings on her and felt that she needed a little something...

how awesome would it be to walk into a guitar shop and see a guitar with an sticker on it?

I was hoping for that awesomeness, perhaps one day.

That hamer rules, especially if you want to play some blistering hardcore punk. Jussayin.

isn't it a relation to the hamer "prototype" with the 3 coil pickup? iirc those were made by dimarzio....sharp guitar.

I stared at MLC's Hamer for about two minutes trying to figure out why it looked off somehow. Then I noticed the seemingly triple-coil pickup, which I'm assuming is a single-coil right up beside a bucker.

yep, from what i was able to find on a not so in depth google search was that the hamer "prototype" was made for a little bit during the early/mid eighties. 83-85? hamer re-introduced them as the phantom in 97 and built them for about a year in 98/early 99. then they changed it to the phantom custom so my model was only built for a year!

not sure what sort of pups were in the prototypes but the pups in this are definitely duncans. the bucker might be a jb4. i have a jb4 in one of my lp copies and it sounds very similar. the bucker in the hamer has a touch more gain tough. the single sounds great! i think it is more of a tele style single but i have never owned a strat so...

sounds like a dream!

yep, single on top and bucker on bottom. three way toggle so single is the neck and bucker is the bridge. sounds awesome with both pups on!!!

Hamer Phantom + Love Buzz amp demo please!

I don't *think* I've posted this.
Oh, and that's not dust, it's rosin. And pick remnants? I dunno. Some of it's red.

Gretsch is the new addition. It sounds sweet with fuzz. Cranked BD is

The pickups are a bit weak but nothing a booster wouldn't fix. I might get a TV Jones pu for the bridge.

I, too, have one of those and I really love mine. If You dig down-tuning, that's one affordable DOOM-tool for thrashing chords by a bass >> series of fuzzes.

Which strings are you using? It seems to be hard to find strings thick and long enough.
