A '77 sunburst from the man himself?
cmatthes replied to maxprs's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Only the first few/earliest 4-digits. By the time the Sunbursts were in production, those were long gone, despite decades of dealer and internet rumors and misinformation! It's always possible that somebody put a set of real PAFs into their Hamer after the fact, but...WHY? -
Graphic in Germany

HUSH!! Don't ever let that be a thought! -
The CustomBuckers are tough to beat if you can snag 'em. I way prefer those over the 57s.

Germany and Austria are looking like 2027 destinations for us. 🤔 -

NGD: Incoming Steve Stevens I (1985)
cmatthes replied to guitarplayer1's question in Ask the HFC Experts
The same one. They also have a black ‘85 SS-1 and a white ‘86 SS-1 hanging up there, but in nowhere near as nice condition and a few more changed parts. -

Just played a very clean Ferrari Red SS-1 at a local shop yesterday. Super clean too. Not my thing, but I can get more info if somebody is looking for one… -

cmatthes replied to guitarplayer1's question in Ask the HFC Experts
Hamers shipped with .009s back then. -
I played one and really liked it - was tempted, but never pulled the trigger at $2,499. It was a different time…

He had a few of those with the interchangeable face/flag plates, but they were Sunbursts, believe it or not. -
FPR - Not a Hammer for once
cmatthes replied to mrjamiam's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
That one is priced at about $500 more than I’d pay for it. -
I’ve got an order in with Dave at FOTN right now, actually…
