This also was made in 1998, All the Rare ones made by Jim, (Only a hand full.. 1 Hand) that show up for sale are like made 2006.. This is Oldest I seen for sale Ever..Another Rare!
This is a Left Handed SRV Hamiltone..SRV Same as Stevie's, but Lefty.. Made by Same Guy.. James can NO LONGER Make these.. He and his partner had a falling out.. Facts!
I got this from original owner who James made it for. This is a ALL Hand Made, KILLER AXE..
Steve Katowitz (Original owner and it was made for him) is left handed player, he was talking to James about being different than Stevie Ray Vaughan in Fretboard.. James said, I always have called SRV, Stevie the Kat when talking to him, or about him.. He is Stevie the Kat.. in my book. So Steve had James Hand Carve what you see in Fretboard.. The Guitar weighs 7lbs 15 oz... You know the Rest..... No need to go writing..
You will Not be disappointed on this Rare Axe! I have ONLY ONE EVER MADE Lefty Period. On Earth
Wikipedia on SRV about his Hamiltone
Main (also known as Hamiltone or the "Couldn't Stand the Weather" guitar) was a custom Fender Stratocaster-style guitar made for Vaughan by James Hamilton in Buffalo, NY. It was presented to Vaughan by James as a gift from Billy Gibbons on April 29, 1984.[11]
This guitar features a two-piece maple body and a "neck-through body" design. It also originally had EMG preamped pickups, but Vaughan didn't like the pickups in it. His next music video was about to be made, which was "Couldn't Stand the Weather", and didn't want to get Number One wet during filming, so he used the Hamiltone for filming. The EMG pickups and Gibson style amber top hat knobs were changed in June 1984.
Its fingerboard is ebony with a mother-of-pearl inlay that read "Stevie Ray Vaughan". The guitar was originally set to be made for Stevie in 1979, but the plan was dropped when Vaughan started using his middle name "Ray", as he was known as "Stevie Vaughan" at the time

The last 9 pictuers are a Hand Made Hamiltone, made by Jim Hamiltone. Are SRV Own personal and used and recorded with, and Chris Duarte Own personal. This Guitar is Exact same as the Famous player's. But a Left handed.. Only 1 Ever made left, by Jim that is. The others ones you see for sale are Not made by Jim, or Hand Made. No Signature on back of headstock.. In a nut shell. Jim had a partner in making these in the beginning. Jim is a luthier and brains in building. The other guy was the money. The money guy wanted to do lower und CNC guitar's. Jim said not with my name on them. They parted ways.. ugly.. So Once in any lifetime find here..
