In the shop today is one rare bird.
Not sure of the model name, I bet Kurt Quickel will know. An old USA Hamer owned by Madison legend Gil Jevne. The wood ‘island’ between the pup cavity and trem cavity got brittle and cracked, no longer supporting the pressure of the string tension. I glued the crack and reinforced w extra screws from underneath. Also, put the original pickups back in. Yes that’s a double coil and a single coil next to each other. Unique design that sounds cool.

Memorial HS project
Second wave
I stopped by the school today and returned the 3 I fixed up yesterday and got 3 more, which are now also done.
Thanks again to Greg Ginter and the Guitar Shop of Wi and Rick w the MAMAs for helping out w new strings for many of these guitars.
A guitar that plays well and sounds good can inspire, that’s my hope.
