I got a little excited when that one showed up yesterday. I hemmed and hawed for several minutes. It appears to be everything everyone has stated above, a real deal one piece body rock and roll music maker. Then I realized why it looked so familiar. It is an almost exact copy of the Gibson I almost bought way back in 2010. Then I found this and haven't looked back.

Not pissing on the man in any way, I am just lighting the fuse on his new found love of Hamer.5 points

It looks like it shipped as a black guitar originally, and was refinned at some point before you got it. I've looked at hundreds of control cavities from that era, and that was definitely a black guitar at one time.4 points

Letting go of another NOS Charvel. New in the box and glorious. The Blue Crackle finish is immaculate. It features Jackson pickups. (I imagine J80 or J90 Humbucker and J100 singles? I didn't want to disturb anything. Reverse headstock with reverse shark inlays. Rosewood board. German Shaller Floyd rose which is a nice upgrade from the JT6 the earlier models had. Still has the protective film on the truss cover. The pics don't do it justice. $2500 plus shipping. Once in a lifetime here.

I'd take a wraptail bridge over a TOM any day of the week! 😀2 points

I went through that too. Bought my '96 with TOM and think it's a fine guitar. I played the wrapper more though.2 points

Seeing these and zooming in I am pretty certain that is not how it left Hamer. The paint in the bottom of the control cavity looks factory and they would not have painted just the cavity gloss black if the guitar was only getting a clear/natural finish. Also what appears to be a lack of pore filler is another sign it was stripped. The finish on the neck looks unbuggered but the body being stripped is going to hurt the resale value unfortunately.2 points

Welcome! You'll find yourself daydreaming about Hamer USA guitars after you've given them a ride! This CruiseBass 2TEK is a Jazz Bass Killer!!

FB Marketplace, looks like he will ship. 2007 Hamer Talladega Flame Top Jazz Burst $2,750. Maybe it's just me but this picture looks amazing. No affiliation/knowledge of seller!2 points

I've been on the lookout for one of these to try, found a Union Jack model for under $100 in great shape. So far a very fun little amp, good with pedals and I think it should mic up pretty good.

I really don't want to sell but I don't play it. At all. In good condition with minor dents and dings (nothing through the paint) I added a set of Dunlop gold strap locks and a gold Schaller LockMeister w/ short bolts. Everything else is stock IIRC. Missing both the truss cover plates. This plays superbly. It's currently set up with EB 9-42 Cobalt Slinkys tunes down to D#. Prefer local pick up but will ship- buyer pays shipping. With case, it's F*cking HEAVY. You've been advised.

No affiliation, not a Hamer wannabe (supposedly). Interesting thing is that Gibson was still using one-piece Mahogany bodies on off-the-rack non-CS solidbodies back then, good luck finding THAT on a non-CS Gibson solidbody nowadays--see back photos of this guitar: Les Paul Studio DC '97 – Dave's Guitar Shop1 point

I dunno, I dig the design. Curious how it sounds.1 point

Yep and the 86 posted above listed as a factory finish shows no pore filler when you zoom in so I suspect that one was stripped as well.

That is a pure, unadulterated rock-n-roll axe right there. Already got lots of marks and dings. Just play the crap out of it with no worries.1 point

Best Gibson pickup set IMO on that (498T bridge, 490R neck)...1 point

The factory satin finishes I have seen never had the wood grain surface. They were always flat level surfaces under the satin finish.1 point

I also had a guitar lost in the giant brown morass that is UPS years ago. To state at this early junction that it is " stolen " might be at bit premature. My guitar was eventually found. Stay on the case & don't let up. File a claim & provide as much info as possible to UPS. Hopefully, you'll have a happy ending. 😀1 point

Say it has been stripped - what a perfect guitar to buy and send straight to @Stike! Possibilities are endless and absolutely without regret!1 point

A shot of the open control cavity would probably settle that. A.I. is honestly near worthless.1 point
-
The pictures aren't great but it looks to me like the body's original finish was removed at some point. If so that's not exactly excellent condition.1 point

Thanks! Mine is a 1995. The place I found on the internet that said the pickups were APS-1 could very well be wrong. It will be a couple weeks before I have it in hand - picking it up on a trip through Calgary in August.

Good grab! The cheap stuff was never this good when I was a kid! Searching for a cheap Tele, I ended up with a Squire, a Firefly and an IYV. The IYV is the keeper - super light, cool fake spalted top, plays in tune, and the 2 stock humbuckers sound good enough (we recorded with it). It was $202 to the door.

I'd go with this. Unfortunately my vocalist cannot hit Rik Emmit's highs and I cannot hit anything remotely close to his fretboard finesse.1 point

After my post about Hal Ashby using Deodata's Also Sprach Zarathustra in Being There, I just had to: The vinyl's spinning as I post. Last night it was Verve Records, recorded in 1957. This was Satch with the original Oscar Peterson Trio (Ray Brown and Herb Ellis). They brought in Louie Bellson to play drums. Around the same time, Verve used the same formula, adding Ella Fitzgerald to the mix, making two volumes of Ella and Louis. On one record the drummer was Bellson again, on the other they had to "settle" for Buddy Rich.1 point
