Robin - anyone have one?
ARM OF HAMER replied to stedge's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Now you too can have that "RELIC" finish for thousands less. -
Try Fette Electronics in Faribault, Mn. I know them well as I live here. They sold these Marantz receivers exclusively back in the day. The sons have a collection of them that would boggle your mind. For service and repair they ARE the experts and have been in business for years. Here Fette Electronics

Yeah No clue on this one................not in my field of knowledge but there are some people on here who love these guitars. This does have a different color than most of these that I have seen. He can ask whatever he wants, getting it is whole different thing though. I see it's on Reverb as well.

Just saw this For Sale over at The Gear Page. I have no affiliation to the guitar or the seller, just posting for anyone who might be interested. No idea if that is a good price or the rarity of the color. 1981 Hamer Prototype...killer classic in a very rare color! Here are some specs: 8.4 pounds, Neck depth is .82 at the first fret, .86 at the 12th fret. Humbucker reads 8.20k, Single coil reads 4.25k Many more pix on request These early USA Hamer guitars are just killer rock machines! $2,100 shipped (USA only) PP F+F or buyer pays the PP fee This guitar will ship in an almost new Gator gig bag.

Standard Case
ARM OF HAMER replied to Hbom's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
That is quite insane! I can't believe anyone in their right mind is going to pay that kind of cash for just a case........................but then again...................."THIS CASE IS IN INCREDIBLE SHAPE FOR BEING 31 YEARS OLD". -
Netflix: Norman’s Rare Guitars
ARM OF HAMER replied to jisham's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I watched it also and thought it was well done. Norm and a few other early dealers really started the whole "VINTAGE" guitar market. Back when he was buying and selling, they were just used guitars. He had the foresight to realize that they were more than that and went on to be.....................well............. NORM. -
NGD (nhc) Yamaha Pacifica 1221
ARM OF HAMER replied to Jimbilly's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Yes, there was.....................you could adjust the nut height on those higher end models. Under those locking nut Allen cap screws are adjustment screws to set nut height. -
Great looking guitar but expensive but I guess it has been a long time coming for Hamer guitars as far as worth point. But think of all the Fender Strats and Gibson Les Paul out there.............there are a gazillion of them. That is a rare guitar certainly in that condition, if it was "BOUND AND CROWNED" it would be even more. $$$$$. Who wouldn't love to own that one.

NGD (nhc) Yamaha Pacifica 1221
ARM OF HAMER replied to Jimbilly's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Yamaha makes a great guitar and that is one of them. I owned several of the Pacifica 1421 and 1412 guitars. I would have kept them if they were hardtails.............. not much of a trem guy here. Rich Lasner wanted to make those guitars available in hardtail versions, but Yamaha wouldn't go along with it. -

What is going on with the back of the guitar?..........................is it just the photos? Guitar looks "Frosted" and "Streaked" then "Chipped" -
Going down the PIPELINE..................

From my understand it WAS both but trying to find and buy those rare and exceptional instruments these days[ [With the REAL Hamer company long gone] is a tough deal. I would think those guitars shown with the "Hard Tail" option they would be priced well above what a Floyd issued one would be being that they were a Custom-Made Guitar.
-
Yes they are exceptions to that rule, but I would say those are rare beasts I would guess. From what I have read with Joel asking wasn't always getting even if you were willing to pay for it, he just wouldn't do it. I said the same thing in a conversation with Rich Lasner about the Yamaha Pacifica 1421 and 1412 I model guitars I owned..............I wish they would have had those guitars available in a hard tail option and Rich pushed Yamaha to do that, but they wouldn't budge.
-
Well I'm thinking of selling this piece of "Hamer History" I have it in a plastic dry cleaning bag also so hey how about............................let's say $1,000.00 for this fine specimen. And Yes, I jest.The fact is you can put a high price on most anything, that's easy, but getting it that's a whole different thing.

I love those guitars in every way they are fantastic instruments but as I so seldom used/use a trem................I wish Hamer among others would have offered a stop tail version of these guitars. I have purchased guitars over the years that had Kahler and Floyd style trems but I didn't keep them for very long. That a great looking guitar in any case.
