Geoff - there is such a thing as giving one just enough rope...

Woah. Admins - why is this person still a member of this forum? Can you please weigh in on the "Special Olympics-post" issue? I don't comment on silly pissing contests, and it's clear that delusional sociopathology is tolerated, but straight-up prejudice? I'm actually surprised that there is no regulation from the Admins on this matter. Respectfully yours, GH

Anyone would pay $30 to restore their reputation in the face of so many smart people taking into account his history. In my estimation, the Special Olympics pic eliminated that chance and answered all the questions. He could have saved face, but he chose not to. That's telling.

Wow, I just saw that post you made B! I don't know if you still check in here since you only ever made this one post but you can be happy the guitar is being well loved. It has all new electronics, Grover tuners and a pair of DiMarzio PAFs in it. I actually bought this in CC Music though, why are you so sure this is the one you had?

Your boy may have contacted you 'cause he's your boy, but you shouldn't hear anything beyond that, except for maybe a wisecrack or nickname.

The back of 7 0069 ain't so nice. The previous owner told me he contacted Hamer on this in the '80's and was told they had some problems with the clearcoat finish. They offered him a re-finsh but he never had it done. I don't care either - this one stays here.

Hi Steven I little story about the guitar. About 15 years ago my mum bought me a hamer slammer series usa, with lovely arch top , great sound, brilliant to play. i was in a band , playing mainly doors songs , we were pretty good but sadly the partying outweighed the playing. I sold my hamer slammer series USA to McCormacks in glasgow to fund a set of turntables around 13-14 years ago. Some thing i regret to this day , although i still dj. Recently i took a notion to try find a hamer slammer series similar to the one my mum bought me all those years ago , as my wee mum sadly passed away and i can remember her still shouting at me for selling the guitar.. I started to google, ebay and look for some hamers, found a couple of similar ones, was even considering buying a 1982 original model as it was the same colors as my old one, (where the white had turned to an almost nicotine cream) when i clicked on google images the guitar you bought showed up ,, i knew instantly it was the guitar i sold all those years ago. Cannot believe it. Anyway if you ever get tired of it , or feel like you could part with it let me know , i would love to get it back . Anyway its a small world , if you dont think you could part with it am glad its with someone who appreciates it and hopefully now you know a bit of history about it you can add to this appreciation.. All the best B
