serial Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Everybody knows this one-a true one-of-a-kind, this is THE only bound and crowned blueburst Standard ever made and the first of three blueburst four digits. This guitar is a stunningly beautiful example of the earliest handmade Hamers and is also the last Hamer (datewise, there is one later serialed Standard) with the oblong Gibson-style control cavity. This one came to me in near mint condition except for a headstock break, which was expertly repaired over a decade ago and is pretty much invisible and strong as they come.. I've gigged this one over the years without a single issue. This guitar literally has the 'Budokan' sound-I've owned around two dozen Standards and this one captures that sound better than any of them. This guitar is featured in my book under Standards. Very difficult to put a price on this one, but I'll put out $7500 with OHSC. I'm not gigging with the band anymore, so I'm clearing up some space. Feel free to make me an offer-not really looking for guitar stuff unless you have a Norlin LP Standard in sunburst...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!! But if/when you land one, you send it to me with a small upgrade budget and you won't miss the blueburst one little bit ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serial Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well, I've had some success with trades of other stuff in the past (traded a few guitars for a Corvette a couple years back) and I saw the trade on a nice Fano for a watch, so what the hell...I can be creative. To that end, I could consider partial trades with firearms, depending on what you might have... really looking for a decent P08 Luger, but have other things I'm interested in (not looking for wheel guns or shotguns or Glock stuff). Another C-3 Corvette wouldn't be something I'd have a problem with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serial Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've cut band shows down to a small handful of high-pay ($500-1k/per man) corporate gigs a year. Still keeping busy playing more acoustic gigs, but nowhere near the 40-50 dates a year I was doing. bI only need my Duotone for those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB0531 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Lawyer wants guns or money for Hamer 4-digit standard. Wasn't that a song by Warren Zevon? Oh wait, that was Lawyers, Guns and Money, and Warren had an early 4-digit Standard. And I WISH I had the money for yours, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
