  1. I've got a whale blue one of these and it's among my favorite guitars. Plays and sounds like a dream! GLWTS!!!
  2. Dave's is a great shop and he's a really cool guy to boot... I've bought quite a few from him, and here are a few of them: 2008 Korina Les Paul Tribute (wish I still had this one), 2016 Custom Shop Aged '59 Reissue Les Paul, 2022 Silver Sky, and 1986 PRS Custom. There are others too, I like Dave LOL!
  3. Off topic a bit... I've got a Beatles-related paint job on a guitar too, an early '90's Fender Prodigy that my buddy custom-painted for me. The back has the full sub on it. He did a great job!
  4. Love it, great and very tasteful playing! I too have a '79 Sunburst and love it... 😁
  5. So sorry to hear about this... Thoughts and prayers to the Matthes family. My condolences... πŸ˜’πŸ™
  6. It's not as skinny as some of the early '80s Specials I recall, but it's definitely not a chunky neck . It's still on the slimmer side I'd say.
  7. Yes, the holy grail is for sale. While I hate to sell is as it is an amazing guitar, it's time to try and move it along... Well documented in "the book", this is one of two in existence, and the only one with a P-90 in the neck position. One of our esteemed forum members has the other one that was made first. One of the earliest examples of a carved maple top Hamer, this one has a gorgeous bookmatched flame maple top and the super-killer original "Standard" headstock. I've had it in my collection for 4 years now and only thing I've done to it was have it professionally set up since I've owned it. It plays and sounds incredible (KofSeattle told me it was his favorite of the 40 Hamers he owned), and the neck is just sublime. I've owned many a Hamer over the last 40+ years and this one is as good as it gets. It's 100% real and spectacular! 😁 As the pictures show it's in pretty amazing condition for a 37+ year old guitar, with some of the typical Hamer finish chipping around a few of the tuning pegs on the headstock, and a few minor chips/scratches on the body. It also has some minor finish checking but as the pictures show it's in 9/10 condition. The strap pin on the upper horn has sunk into the body a bit (see pic), and was that way when I obtained the guitar. It still has the warranty card in the case with matching serial # and some Sam Moss Guitars goodies and a note that was put in there when Serial Steve purchased the guitar from Sam 20+ years ago. The provenance of this guitar is well known and it has passed through a few hands here over the years, and it's one of rarest and most iconic of all Hamers. Price is firm at $6,500 shipped in continental USA and will only accept certified funds or PP F&F. I've done deals here, on the old Birds & Moons Forum, The Gear Page, and have a perfect 100% score on eBay with over 20 years of transactions there. I've shipped many, many guitars over the years and know how to package them and keep them safe on their journeys to new homes too. Reach out if you have any questions, and thanks for looking!
  8. Finally got around to getting some pics of my recent acquisition, a nice 1979 Sunburst with dots in Natural with a killer top. It's clean and all-original too... Case is very clean too! Got this from a fellow HFC member too:
  9. I guess you can count the Electraglide as a Sunburst, even though it has an archtop and a Standard headstock... 😎
