Hamer Californian Custom Conversion

Before
Guitar starts out as Basic Hamer Californian.
The Californian Model is no longer manufactured by Hamer.

The first thing I do is hand carve a new body. Aside from the beautiful flame maple top, You will also notice the solid mounting steps in the pickup routes. This solid mounting technique that took me 2 years to perfect greatly enhances the tone over the original spring mount pickups.

The second photo is the back of the guitar. This one is built from solid Korina, Something Hamer never offered on a bolt on guitar. In fact I can't think of any company who ever offered it. In this photo the body is still in a roughly carved state.

Finished Painted

Finished & Ready to Rock

Completed guitar for Bill Daley of Connecticut
Currently Hamer has chosen not to manufacture this guitar. Except in import versions.
So until they decide to reissue the guitar, I will be doing custom ones like this one.
