Sentinel

The ones to keep! ( Both from '07. )

Have we seen all of the finished six first Ultimates yet?!?

Black transparent quilt and ebony... Just like I like it!! Sweet!!! (Congrats!)

It is my custom ordered Black trans Studio Custom, from the spring of 2007. <--- The one in my avatar on the left.... I paid just about $ 3000, including shipping and taxes (to Sweden). As it is just about perfect and priceless etc it is the best buy I have ever made. I am truly one lucky guy, forever thankful to the Hamer workshop staff.

Great and very beautiful guitar ...and also, like, historical! (The first and the last Hamer was a Standard...) I'm happy for you! (Everyone of us that have ordered a custom made Hamer knows the feeling of holding it for the first time! My Studio Custom - see the avatar on the left - feels like heaven!) .

I'm lost for words... I feel sad for all you Hamer people. I love you all. . Still I am a very lucky owner of two remarkable and fantastic instruments.

Greenslade Hard Stuff Sir Lord Baltimore Trapeze Groundhogs and Opeth!

Are there some more footage for us to see soon?! Say yes! :-)

Always fun to hear "more" about stuff that interests you. Like the "making-of" parts of some dvds. Here we got to hear very interesting stuff that was about our beloved book. Sweet!! Thanks. .

Yes, sorry. I have the serial # book next to me at work. We've been slaved by the Guild lately. I'm going to look yours up tomorrow. I'll also talk to Mike S.(Northfield) to see if he has any pics. I'll also see if they still have the order in the computer to see if we can reprint the custom order specs.Bm Thanks a million! :-)

[ PS: Jackass - did you read my PM - sent to you about two weeks ago? ] .

Ok, the book is AWESOME! Again thank you and I'm so very happy with it. Beautifully made too! But, in the listings of the models i'm missing the Studio (Custom) and the Talladega. Two types of some significance... especially since the Studio to me is an updated Sunburst. And the Talladega is the last proper model made... So I wonder if there is a reason for why they are overlooked/omitted. Or will they perhaps be covered in the second book?

Got it yesterday. I love the book! Thanks!!

I pm'd you Serial. If you can get them signed I'd like two copies from you. Possible? I'd like one as well! Disturber, could we do a Swedish package of some kind? If it's doable then I'm in. Sentinel might be interested as well. I'd like two copies - signed or not - thanks!!

Well, at least we had a good run. I'm extremely happy that I at least made one custom order - see my avatar - for a fantastic guitar that I still own. I also bought two other new ones. (Had I had the funds for it I've had a dream of a very special Talladega Pro custom order,for a couple of years, but that boat has sailed now.) Sadness and some anger... and a LOT of thankfullness for the ones I have and also for the Hamer builders - let them know that, Kim!

Jean-Luc Ponty, Egocentric Molecules, http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6946210/JEAN_LUC_POTY_EGOCENTRIC_MOLECULES This was the song I thought of when I read the title of this thread!

My Artist Custom is one of the most beautiful guitars ever, imo! :-)

I have all of his albums and I just love his music. Perhaps not the earliest albums so much, though. "Blaze of glory" is his best album imo.

Great story - congrats!!

I love/hate this music. Mostly love it! :-)

I'd go for an Artist Custom if you want something different in sound. It'¨s very versatile and you can go from jazzy stuff all the way through blues to rockier stuff. And then - like I did - set your sights for a Studio later on! :-)

Really cool - and hot!! :-)

"Sentinel" is the title of the first song on the Mike Oldfield album "Tubular bells 2". But as I'm from Sweden I didn't know what the word meant, I just thought it was a beautiful word. Only later I realised what it stands for. But it kept it anyway. (I elsewhere use the name Riffboy - and that is joke, because I'm not really that great guitar player AND I'm definitely not young!)

I do hope you'll recover before long!!

Yes!! Got my picks today (Oct 18)! The envelope was postmarked the 13th so that was _really_ fast delivery!! Thanks again Chris! (Also, thanks for the two bonus picks - orange and tort!)
