FIrst of all, I'm sure there were others here wanting these and all I can say is sorry, I went after them pretty aggressively by offering the seller his asking price PLUS PP fees and shipping. After a couple of exchanges via PM, I knew it was meant to be when I discovered the seller only lived 45 minutes from me! Then we spoke via phone call around lunch today, and after that conversation the deal was pretty much done... So we made arrangements for me to come to the seller's house this evening to check out the guitars, cash in hand. After getting there we took a few minutes to talk, and then it was time to see the goods after a few more minutes of discussing how he came about them, I could tell that this was truly tough on him letting 'em go so I did make a vow, and that was if I were to need to sell at some point down the road myself that I would give him first shot at getting them back. Felt it was the least I could do, and I will keep my word on that... Ok, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Getting a little late to do much jammin' tonight, but plan on playing them both after a fresh string change tomorrow evening. And of course my camera batteries were dead, so they are charging now and I will put up some pics here in a few...

You know what a maple boarded Cali needs? Ebony boomerangs!

Pretty much sums it up right there and as oldskoolrulz stated " I knew it was meant to be when I discovered the seller only lived 45 minutes from me!" Call me "oldskool" however, I believe in that Karma or whatever you want to call it. Glad to see the seller move them to someone in the family and good luck to the new curator. Tone Report Please!

A few other tidbits: these were made in 2006, not 2007 but no biggie there. the humbucker model has been played more and shows some minor wear, but again not a big deal and I am planning on playing them both anyway. the p90 model is almost nos, not a blem that i can find. also, no COA's or paperwork with these, not sure why the seller would not have gotten any but they are the real deal so i'm not gonna sweat that either... hope to get some better pics at some point, but these will have to do for now

Cool story for the doubters, and congrats again on the score!

That signature will wipe right off you know.......... Nice one!

Can we all come over and try out the new pair of Sunbursts?

The humbucker equipped one came with 2 SD '59's.....funny thing they said they would not make the guitar with exposed coils(!?!), So... I removed the cover from the '59 in the neck and replaced the '59 that was in the bridge pos with the Dimarzio...If I'm not mistaken my original #7 0013 had Dimarzios.... BY the way you guys promised me you had info on #7 0013. Is it still around...is it in one piece? Boy we get attached to these, dont we?

So I gotta ask... Is that three modded Daytonas, or did that one start as a doubleneck? That's pretty awesome though. Does the switch in-between the two string paths switch which set of pickups is going to the outputs? Is it a three-way, top-both-bottom kind of thing, or just a two-way toggle? The white 3-way slider switch is: Top Neck/OFF/Bottom Neck There is a master volume, master tone 3 way toggle controls the top (PhatCat) pickup selection 5 way blade covers the bottom (Strat) pickups Body was custom-made by Musikraft, and is a really nice hunk of white Korina that weighs under 3.5 lbs. Necks were both from Daytonas that had been parted out (not by me) Original Daytona Wilky VSV-G below, '90s NOS Wilky hardtail up top. Recessed Aluminum trem plate: I Like the gold & black !

The p90 seems to be the favorite. She has "it". Wonder if she could have been the hfc model in an alternate universe where Hamer did not stray from it's roots and continued to pave the road it started and became the one to fill the space currently occupied by other guitar makers.

Those are great. The Sustain Blocks - are those Hamer-made or 2FIG or mine or ? Congrats on a monster score.

Congrats!................Sounds like it was meant for you to have these as he turned out to be so close to you,.amazing guitars!

What a Pairing!!! I too WANT that P90!!! YUM!!!!

Super cool, and no apologies required. Judging from the pics I think you were right to pursue them and nail them both pronto. You've got the bug bad now, it's a slippery slope but a great ride.

Wow. Foggedabout giving him first dibs on buying them back, I want that P90 Sunburst. Congrats. You scored two MILF's in one shot.

A biiiig WOW! from Gemany. The name "Burst Brothers" is already in use, I think...

Cool story. Cool guitars. Congrats and sure enjoy!

Cool story and gorgeous guitars. Congrats!

Congratulations and that's a great promise to make. And to the seller. Sorry you had to let them go. If it's any consolation, I like many people have had patches where I've had to make similar hard decisions, but I got through them and eventually came out of it, usually better, even if just for the appreciation of doing so.

bought the mono bag from a guy on my local craigslist. brand new, in the plastic and in the box. $160. used it today and love it.
