KofSeattle Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Found this on the local Craigslist yesterday and was delivered the most unexpected beauty. I had no idea these had such amazing necks! My custom shop fender strat would have been embarrassed! Just beautiful all the way around and CHEAP! Then there is the goofy little pre-amp equalizer built in, just cool! I figured I could afford a little medicine as a few high ends go out the door ;( Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montelovesco Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I sense something... A disturbance in the force... A presence I haven't felt for some times... I GOT IT... This guitar wants to visit Germany...! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM OF HAMER Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 That is a beauty isn't it....................said it before and I'll say it again, Hamer got their hands on some incredible woods................and this guitar is no exception. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixesandsevens Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Beautiful! That said, whose idea was it to call that model a "vintage s"? I mean I hate a single coil in the bridge as much as any self-respecting child of the 80s, but to label that guitar after its worst feature... WTF?

Hamerica Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Nice score! Interesting pickup setup S/S/S versus the S/S/H that I am normally accustomed to with this model. Yeah, that's a dibs guitar if I have ever seen one. Hamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBraz Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Great guitar and I love the spec! S/S/S and a Floyd is awesome. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a real newbie when it comes to Hamer guitars. I promise I'll do my best to research guitars posted first before I comment on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss something, other than no mention of the Vintage S in the Book...? Where is it stated that the Vintage S is named after a single coil in the bridge 6&7? Or have I just had too many Sam Adams Summer series brews this afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 What's with the EQ on the back of the control plate? Does it have a built in EQ/boost, or is there some kind of piezo setup on the tremolo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I always assumed that "Vintage S" was an oblique reference to a vintage Strat, which it was certainly not. It came in both H-S-S and S-S-S configurations IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
