It didn't work when I got it, but with the help of fellow HFC'rs everything is working great now. I alway's wanted a 3 Hole DuoTone! Now I have one!! And it's beautiful!!

Of course I expect her to cover Peart's drumming. This is why she was hired. I saw her with Jeff Beck. Trust me, she is more than capable of playing any Rush song.

Playing this thru my Lead 12 Ministack home rig. A little less saturated/compressed than the PurplePlexi+Boost, still nailing a cranked Marshall tone. The separate bass/tone controls help to keep it from getting muddy. Looking forward to ripping this thru a real tube amp this weekend.

It's a Kris Kristofferson song. Just saying.

I would assume so. There's this "Roger Bannister" thing in music, in that Bannister was the first person to officially run a 4-minute-mile in 1954, which a lot of people thought was impossible. Six weeks later, his record was broken, and by the end of the 1950s, there were a number of people who had done it. Hendrix, Peart, EVH - they are all kinda Bannisters. There are plenty of people today who can do everything they did and heaps more. Despite that, there's something clearly psychological about being the first person to step through that door. I have to imagine there are a lot of players today who can play these people under the table but would have, for whatever reason, never been anywhere in the same realm had not someone else shown them there was no real barrier but creativity and desire.

I’ll buy this one Mike 👍

That I have not bought it yet is absolute proof of no funds in the guitar account. Considering items to sell but limited as all the kids are out of the house...

For years I joked that there were a million guys who could play just like Eddie Van Halen, but they could not play anything new until Van Halen put out another album.

3-holers are the best.

I never started an official post here. https://reverb.com/item/93657352-hamer-artist-custom-2000 No longer for sale plus shipping to supporting known HFC members. thanks

Feelin' good is good enough for you......Good enough for you and Mr. Magoo......

I hope somebody buys this SOON. Damn that's hard to resist.

Hey everyone! I have the white 1982 Hamer Special from the book…”Rebecca”…….I’m going to sell but I’m such an idiot I cannot resize my pictures. If anyone might be interested, I can send direct pics or gladly take instructions. Thanks!!

Does it still look like this? Found an old Reverb listing for it: https://reverb.com/item/63086118-1982-hamer-special-checkerboard-logo-rebecca-as-seen-in-the-hamer-book Some historical threads on it: https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/95994-1982-hamer-special-rebecca/ https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/46784-the-story-of-a-sweet-little-special-named-rebecca/

No, the whole point is to bang the drummer without the other members knowing it 🤷

I thought The Girl drummer was great and they all looked like they were having fun. Isn't that the whole point? You can't honestly expect her - or anyone - to cover Neil's parts.

wow great price!!! def a buyers market right now

High Fade is great, but GH was doing this decades ago.

Our first look at Rush with Anika Nilles.

Look closely---that Les Paul has the Peter Green/Gary Moore configuration

Janis Magoo!

Like Layne, there will never be another Janis.

So distracting... and honestly, worlds, apart

I've always wanted one too. That's beautiful. Congrats!

I just feel love.

Mandatory price would be $1650

Gorgeous. Nothing like an Artist - and this one's special! Do it!!!

That's a nice one.

Agree, Madonna has a hard time drumming asymmetrical, irrational and/ or composite time signatures. When she subbed for Mike Portnoy in Dream Theater she also was lagging behind the beat constantly having the band members look at each other while playing, wondering if the material girl was the correct choice! 😉 😁😃

Great top and Burst on that one.

If it doesn’t work out for you drop me a line I have the correct black Hamer tuner. Peter

Thanks! Yes, these were made by Schaller. I’ve already found and ordered single schaller tuner on eBay (used). I’ll replace the part with Hamer logo, so in the end there should be no difference at all

Or any other Joplin song for that matter... I absolutely LOVE this song and everything about it~

wow.. its still here..

You can find some through Walmart (no affiliation) on the cheap: Chef Code Modern Fit Unisex Cargo Chef Pants, Elastic Waist, Checkered White, L - Walmart.com Chef Code Modern Fit Chef Pants with Zipper Fly, Checkered White, L - Walmart.com

Just WOW!.. the temptation is absolutely killing me!.. this WILL NOT LAST LONG 😭

I’ve seen people online defending Geddy Lee’s vocals here. I wish I could agree.

I saw High Fade in a small club last year, those dudes are tight af and Harry Valentino is a beast of a guitar player.

No. Again. The Diablo Hamer didn’t leave the factory anything like that. Also, Gibson built Rick 3 Explorers and 3 Flying Vs several years ago, after the demise of Hamer. Rick gave (or sold/traded) one of those to the guy who found the Tour prop Eye. It wasn’t a Gibson copy of a Hamer, just a checkerboard finished, off the line Flying V. I’m not sure Diablo cares to know the truth if it would mess up their sale.

Make sure you get the pants, they are a must!

Chris, These pictures are amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight to our club, world and love of "Hamer"! Thanks! M

it'll be the most "Dumble" part of the amp...

No. Rick didn’t give somebody a checkerboard Hamer V. He gave them one of the three checkerboard Flying Vs that Gibson gave him close to a decade ago. He never really played any of those - live or otherwise, and although I’ve seen him show up at a Rock’n Vodka event a time or two wit one of the marching checkerboard Explorers that Gibson also gave him at the same time, I can’t say that I’ve ever seen him playing any of those onstage either. Although he hasn’t bashed them, the fact that he won’t play them, but has given a few away kind of speaks volumes about how they aren’t his Hamers. Rick does have a dead on copy of his Checkerboard Hamer V that was built by Mark Grant in the fall of 2022 (along with a second one built for Michael Adamany), and he’s been playing that live a good bit and it shows up regularly in his stage rack. It was built using his original V as a template and for measurements. His original hasn’t been onstage since the very early ‘80s. It currently resides at the Rockford Hard Rock Casino. The Reverb one has long been confirmed as a conversion by two of the people who would know (one is actually named “Hamer”), and I remember seeing it listed for sale in a VG classified in the ‘90s. It’s really cool, but not one of Rick’s and it didn’t leave the factory like that,

There's one in Chico I keep not driving out to get: https://chico.craigslist.org/msg/d/chico-80s-hammer-guitar/7917988800.html#

Damn, even the $5 Dumble is elusive.
