Baby Blue

Here is my reworked Hamer Tele. The electronics are simple, Texas Special pickup, volume, and tone. No switch.

The body weighs about half of it's original weight. It has been routed from the rear and also has a swimming pool route.

Let's see... there is about an inch around the edge of the guitar and four inches solid in the middle. I covered the wholes with some 1/4" something or other that I had laying around. I wasn't really going going for custom shop work just experience and function.

I have also done other work to it since. I added a humbucker to the neck position, changed that pickguard and the knobs, too. Unfortuantely, I haven't taken any pictures yet. When I do, I will post them.
