Sorry, everyone. I forgot to update this post. The '93 Hamer Special has been sold to Bloozguy. Thanks again.

I have too many guitars. It's painful for me to admit, and not matter how much justification I can try to muster, this '93 Hamer Special just doesn't get played enough for me to keep it out of the hands of someone who undoubtedly will play it more. Comes with an original hardshell case that has...

The pickups are original, and the frets are good. I hate to part with it, but if I have to, I'd prefer it go to an HFCer.

My guitar collection has grown beyond my means, to the point where I'm going to part with this lovely '93 Hamer Special with original hardshell case. Looking for $700 shipped. If anyone's interested, shoot me an e-mail.

Look for an early 80s Peavey T-15. Has the 23.5-inch scale like a Fender Mustang, but at a mere fraction of the price. They can be had for less than $200 with a hardshell case. American made, to boot.

Naw, it really isn't. Backinit, you're a Jan. 10th vintage, right? Same here.

I'm gonna make it to one of these 4-3-2-1 gigs one of these days. Unfortuantely, with a newborn in the house, I'll likely have to take a sleep deprived pass on this one. Thanks for hosting them, Bruce, and I look forward to attending one soon.

Happy Birthday to my fellow Jan. 10thers -- Jaime K, glideman, backinit and Riffer. (cue the Beatles music) -- You say it's your birthday // It's my birthday too, yeah.

Happy Birthday, pesocaster, DEMENTED and Tokyo Tapes. Enjoy a piece of cake on all of us.

I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota.

I wasn't even familiar with the brand until I stumbled across it doing my occasional "1964 guitar" search on eBay. Usually all that comes up is Fenders, Gibsons, Epiphones and the occasional Gretsch which are way out of my price range. The Kapas were much more reasonably priced.

Partially fueled by the acquistion of my first Hamer -- a cherry '93 Special on eBay -- I find myself on a vintage USA-made guitar kick. The result has been the acquistion of five decades of USA-made guitars. From left: 1964 Kapa Challenger (made in Hyattsville, Md.), '74 Ovation Deacon (New...

Now THAT's a Sunburst. Nice score!

Additional photos of the '93 Hamer Special at the Music-Go-Round in Lousville. As you can see, it is missing the truss rod cover. http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/b...r45/Hamer-5.jpg http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/b...r45/Hamer-6.jpg...

The shop says its split pea green, and I e-mailed Hamer to see if they ever offered a Special with gold hardware and a green color. They responded by saying it's probably TV Blonde that has oxidized. If anyone wants more photos, PM me and I'll provide them for you. I got the guys at the store to...
