BubbaVO Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 How about mahogany in a tobacco burst, flat top, sustain block? Anyone else?
veatch Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Studio CustomMahoganyTriple Coil BridgeP90 NeckPrefer a 5-way blade with the single coil and P90 acting as a bucker in pos 4, but it seems everyone else wants a toggleSustain blockCrownsColor from a short list of standard colors (i doubt we'll come up with a single color all will love...)I keep waffling between Basic Black to Jazzburst to Fire Engine Red... (jazzburst on hawg is killer...)I like (love) Velorush's idea on the headstock, but i think that will hurt us in the price department...If this ends up being in the price range of a CO, it will be a hard sell to buy it over a CO. The hope is that we get a break for getting XX ordered in the same config (color notwithstanding...) I like the idea of a flattop, but if that's the case, i'm not sure on the crowns.

Do we really need to go there again?
bubs_42 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Good Conversation fella's why don't you throw your ideas up on the Main Message Board on the running thread.
polara Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 As posted in the other thread, I'd look long and hard at a Junior, in white, with a sustainblock. Not saying I can afford it, but that makes my nipples stiff.
Kurt L Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I just bought an old Vector and a Steve Stevens so it'll be a while before I purchase again.But my dream Hamer would be:Studio Customchambered bodysustain blockbound and crownedSeth Lover at the bridgeP-90 at the neckvintage neck carveExplorer-style headstock (a nod to Rick Neilsen's Les Paul)Natural finish on the mahogany back and neckEither a black cherry finish or faded denim (like the PRS ones) over a flamed maple topToo rich for my blood right now, but maybe someday. :-)
GusS Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 i agree with polara, it has to be more reasonably priced than a custom order. Juniors are cool and simple and white is a great color.i don't see the point of a reissue sunburst.. the originals are currently cheaper and will always be cooler.
Hamer of the gods Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Vector Jr.One Volume One ToneScreamin Lollar P90Wraptail or Tuna and StopLightweight MahoganyTortoise Guard
hamerhead Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Whatever it is, it should have Boomers, a Sustain Block, and - a bit of a stretch - the old Standard headstock.That's what makes a Hamer.A flat-top Monaco Elite with those 3 options would be pretty nice.
Doink Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 How 'bout a slightly downsized strat type body, made of mahogany, with extended cutaways, set-through neck, ebony board with boomers and 27 frets, the last 3 being angled, Floyd bridge, humbucker at the bridge, single coil at the next, droopy/hockey stick style reversed headstock, stadium logo....

Citrus Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Whatever it is, it should have Boomers, a Sustain Block, and - a bit of a stretch - the old Standard headstock.That's what makes a Hamer.A flat-top Monaco Elite with those 3 options would be pretty nice.The above sounds cool - 1 boomer @ the 12th fret to save some bucks.The flat-top Monaco sounds real cool - use the superpro profile instead of the elitealmost forgot - make sure it has the Talladega neck profile
edgar_allan_poe Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I would be all over a Standard Jr or a Vector Jr. That would be toooooo friggin cool.
jerseydrew Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I would be all over a Standard Jr or a Vector Jr. That would be toooooo friggin cool.+1
Carl.B Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I would go for a flat top special any color but black (already have 3 blackies). Sustain block with HFC on the 12th fret if cost is a factor maybe a HFC marker on the back of the headstock.I would like to see it in a reasonable price range.Sorry $3G's is out of my price range.

BadgerDave Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Vector Jr.One Volume One ToneScreamin Lollar P90Wraptail or Tuna and StopLightweight MahoganyTortoise GuardI like this idea!One slight modification though - to make it more universally appealing, I'd do it with a humbucker sized pickup route. Those that prefer P-90s have a lot of great options for humbucker sized P-90s (HD, Fralin, Rio, Duncan, etc.). Options for P-90 sized humbuckers are far more limited.And why not a sustainblock?
GaryT Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Nice Greg, Why not go with a Blank fretboard with the position markers on the side only. Ya definatly a sustain-block.
