I *hate* the positioning of the controls on a strat so that could well be my worst nightmare. But, I have to say, it looks really cool.xtp wrote:This is my current Project. I guess it qualifies as my next Guitar.

Those old Hamers were something special.
How much did you pay for it ?

$650 shipped. It's nearly perfect, all stock with an early Kahler with original case. wanted something that had a wide range of sounds.
Here is a short clip I made right after getting it. Not changing amp settings at all, One track going through doing the rhythm and switching through the pu combinations, then adding a lead track and switching through the pu combos again.
Prototype II jam
If price is a concern let me recommend those.dubbelQ wrote:A Gibson but not sure yet which one of them. But one with 490R and 498T pick-ups.
I might know where a 82 prototype is. Doesn't have the neck pu.susiwong wrote:You're lucky I didn't see it first.surferman wrote:Thanks!

Hey, thanks !surferman wrote:
Yep that's why I dont want any burstbuckers. I want a allround guitar from clean to high gain. Those two are quite cheap and alot of guitar for that amount of money. So sure if I can't afford a more expensive one I can allways replace with some nice Seymour Duncan pick ups and sell the others. .susiwong wrote:If price is a concern let me recommend those.dubbelQ wrote:A Gibson but not sure yet which one of them.

Great, classic LP tone (early LP Customs didn't have a maple top either) and if you don't like the Burstbuckers (they are fine for bluesy low gain stuff but a bit sensitive to feedback with higher gain) you should be able to trade/sell them easily for a good price.
Its been a fun project so far. I had it for about a month with a cardboard pickguard and the pots/knobs and toggle switch attached to it while I decided the best way to fit it together.GaryG wrote:I *hate* the positioning of the controls on a strat so that could well be my worst nightmare.

I think it's definitely the right forum for guitars considering how many very experienced and knowledgeable guitarists are regulars here.generalstargazer wrote:I think this is the wrong forum to talk about guitars.
