I'm thinking of going P 90s. I have a unique opprotunity to make it unique. Lollar P90's... eardogs in creme. Natural and creme pickup covers... Yupssss Check my "175" not a custom thing but unique anyway. I think natural and p90's either black or creme is a great choice BEAUTIFUL!!!! does that have natural sides and back? you may have swayed me to do a GT?????

Well, i went over to Petes today after work to see what going on....

I sent you his number

thanks for all the kind words fellas!!! i'm gonna go with 2 pickups....i'm a rocker, not a jazzer

A guitar player friend of mine in Kalamazoo, called me the other day and said he had a friend that had a Heritage for sale...naturally interested, i got his # called and set up an appointment at his house. Went to his house, the Heritage was nothing like i expected and there was no deal on it... BUT... He pulls out a box filled with NOS Gibson parts!!!! Necks, bodies, pickups, PGs, etc.....and inside was a 1970 ES 175 neck and body...UNGLUED, un finished!! AND he had the tailpiece, patened # pups, tuners, bridge/rosewood base!!! I ask him how much he wants for the ES 175....he gives me a price...i say i would like to get a price from my guitar guy, to have it put together and finished before i commit to anything. He puts the neck and body in a box and hands it to me....says take it to your guy so you can get an accurate estimate!!! SWEET! Pete Moreno, my guitar dude/luthier, former Gibson employee and former Heritage employee, who has worked/repaired tons of vintage Gibsons/Epis over the years....he gave me the thumbs up on the 175 Monday!!! The heel joint is good...he did some measuring, checking, etc....its all good!!! He starts putting it together tomorrow!!!! I decided to go with a natural finish on it... Its officially mine now!!! I'm so stoked!!!!

I hope its not that bad. If we ever see one I kinda expect it will be, remember VH3. if it wouldnt have been for VH3...i would have never got to meet Eddie, Alex, and Mike.....and that gary guy.... in all seriousness....i hope its a good album!!!

+1 on that. This singer sounds like a complete diva. Who was it, Axl Rose? LMAO

yes...and i want rockets shooting from the headstock!!!! i could double as ACE for ya....lol

NO F***ING WAY!!!!!! I want pics!!!!!

WOW!!! too cool!

Sounds like fun fellas!!! I wish i could swing it. I host our annual Heritage Owners Club gathering....Chris you are a good man for doing this, i know how much work it is to put an event like this together, i have done it for 3 yrs now for the HOC. But it is very rewarding to see everybody get together jam, talk, check out eachothers guitars, etc! Have fun guys!!!!

LOL...im hoping i can get 2 of the 3 in the house before she gets home

I'm had a major weak moment this weekend!!!! There are so many great deals out there i couldnt help myself!!!! I bought a beautiful HAMER USA Phantom from Chris. I bought a 1992 Heritage Goldtop H 140. AND i picked up a EBMM 2007 LE John Petrucci (signed by JP) Fully Loaded, inlays, piezo, sparkle paint, etc!!!! The prices were so good, i couldnt keep my mouse finger from clicking!!!!!! I NEED HELP!!!!

KISS, Cobo Hall, 1975...anybody got a time machine?

Have a great one fellas!!!

Yes, but it is unclear if it was voluntary or he was asked to leave. Obviously everyone will have an opinion on this (lord knows I have mine) but the fact is that nobody knows for sure other than Jol and Fender. One thing is clear... It is looking like Hamer is much more open to ideas from its customers. Just take a look at some of the insane guitars that are being built. i think that is a good idea to build a lot of "CUSTOM" stuff....make people talk, word of mouth is the best form of advertising!!!

I'm a little new to HAMER and the history....but did he leave because of the Fender intrusion?

I recieved my picks today...they are SWEET!!! Thanks Chris for doing this!!!

sweet...thanks dude!!!

you have a post office that is open on Sunday? no way? that would rule!!!
