Money sent. Venmo asked for your phone last 4 digits but I sent it anyway. Hopefully ya got it!

Meh. Where the hell were the HSS/Floyded Strat Ultras when I was 17 years old? Not that I could have afforded them back then, mind you. 😆 No, I had my used '76 CBS Strat (bought for $350!) A year or 2 later, it got "super-ized" ala EVH with the micro-tilt mechanism removed and the neck shimmed, an added bridge position humbucker, a Floyd (with some pull up range) a Kahler finger-tite string lock, neck radius-ed to be a bit flatter (12 inches?) and a custom made pick guard for an additional $800 bucks! That was a good chunk of my summer earnings from landscaping that I was suppose to be saving up for college that Fall.

Fixed it.

If I could remove that rosewood board and replace it with a maple one... but that's a beaut. Someone is gonna love that as is.

I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo, I don't need another Diablo...

Holy SHIT! This is the most amazing collection of Hamer employee & build photos I've EVER seen! Thank you!!!

Somewhere in between. My body is past the point of being able to convincingly rock out. I'm essentially musically illiterate; knowing enough to know I don't know shit. So, the guitar is midway between.

Limited appeal to most on here but ya never know. Platinum Pink Custom Shop DK24 hot rod practically new. Not a scratch on it. Built for speed with everything ya need in a Super Strat. Alder body, maple neck, SD TB-4 JB, SSL-1. Spring loaded push/push volume knob PU selector, added fat brass block to OFR, Charvel Hard Case, & paperwork. $4000 shipped CONUS.

You really wanna go down that road? Should we compare those who have or are playing Floyds vs those who play Kahlers and talk about album sales? Look, I get it; preferences re: trem systems, like most anything, are highly subjective. If it works for ya, good on ya. It was right for Tipton. Doesn't mean it's right for everyone else.

Hard pass. EMGs and a Kahler? Might as well let the cat use the guitar case as a litter box. There's only shit coming out of it anyway.

Buy it and let us know.

Likewise, I typically have prospective local buyers meet me at a nearby Wawa ( for the uninitiated- the NE's dominant convenience store/deli/gas/grub joint- ala Sheetz, QuikTrip, 7-11, etc) In the event of a no-show or last minute change of heart, I can grab some mac n cheese or a meatball sammich. However, I will take Venmo or Paypal but ask buyer for small, good faith deposit ($25) to secure the item.

Sold about 21 guitars since 2020 on Marketplace and yes, for every one of those guitars sold, easily had 10 -20 complete idiots and jaggoffs wasting my time. Also have had a few scams perpetrated (or attempted to be perpetrated) on Marketplace.

Right? Where's the fun in that? Far better to speculate and debate based on dodgy or outdated photos and second hand info. Seriously though, this IS much more entertaining than someone buying it and then reporting in.
