Awesome band. First saw them supporting G‘n‘R. in 1992, I believe. „Badmotorfinger“ is their opus magnum as far as I‘m concerned!

I think there is much to be said for analog catalogues, books, records, libraries....maybe we will reconsider these in the eye of AI 🫥

That's a different guitar. I doesn't have the matching headstock and has changed tuners. Same colour though, as far as I can tell and pretty close serial wise.

The same guitar? Interesting. I‘ve had it since end of last year, bought it in Germany. My original NHD post should still be up here somewhere.

Fabulous guitar, original to my knowledge except for the knobs and maybe the guitar pins (possibly only the screws are new and the pins are the original). Pretty rare, very good condition, the colour has changed over the years, a few dings on the guitar. Comes with original red plush hamer case. I'm the third owner of the guitar. Neck is more on the narrow side, I'd say medium. Frets have been dressed not long ago, plays great. EUR 2200,- is what I have in it so I'd like to break even on this if possible. It's on reverb too (for a higher price coz fees'n'stuff). I don't think I will ship outside EU because it's too wild at the moment. Downsizing is the reason why but if it doesn't sell I'm happy to have it around because it's beautiful 😉 Happy to send bigger images or have a look at my ad on kleinanzeigen... https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/1980-hamer-special-opaque-blue/3494364733-74-2091

@bry4321 well played, Sir!

Mad! Was that the brief FS thread for an Ultimate?

I owned this for a wee while. nice finish, neck more like a thin D style (probably the reason I sold it) . Seller is friendly and trustworthy. I bought the opaque blue matching headstock special from him. Sometimes I just feel plain silly with all the back and forth of guitars in my life. 🥲

veryvery cool! Here's a screenshot...

sold! on its way to @Montelovesco and then @Hamer Dave, fingers crossed for the journey across the the pond.

Sounds vaguely familiar. bought two guitars back after I sold them and one car. Sold one of the guitars and the car, still need to sell the other guitar a second time🥲

The transparent black Tally is very cool!

I certain number comes to mind🥲 350,- is just not a thing anymore if it ever was.

I'm sure quite a few of you have seen this but there is one in Italy for sale that looks like it's in pretty good condition, the white has gone yellow but it's a nice finish and the price is a little more realistic (no affiliation): https://reverb.com/item/93571703-hamer-special-1981-custom-black-and-white-graphics-video

This is mine. I absolutely love that finish. The graphic finishes were all one-offs, no two alike. This one here is also in The Book (thanks to @serial)

These look interesting but from what I can the prices are pretty steep. So many great builders come to mind before shelling out that amount on a new brand with just another take on some classics. I love what Nik Huber does, Krautsters II and III, Dolphins, I'd be very tempted to try a Novo Serus J, not sure what Mike Shishkov is up to for now but of course he is someone with great taste who will factor in lots of personal ideas and they are all below that price bracket.

I like👍

on hold

@Hamer Dave @Montelovesco we're talking 😉

It's in great condition. The black paint on the headstock has suffered around the tuners, but that's something I've seen quite a lot on those sunbursts and specials from that time.

Hi everyone, wonderful guitar, but I'm not playing it, so I decided to sell it. It's listed here: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/1978-hamer-sunburst/3421441880-74-2091 It has had changed tuners, now back to original 70s Grovers but not original to this particular guitar. HFC deal for EUR 3.000,- excluding any fees, potential shipping etc. I'm not crazy about shipping this guitar so if anyone interested here has the chance to pick it up in person that would be great (Dusseldorf, Germany), but I can and will ship in the EU, have done it before, should be fine. Shipping to the US is impossible at the moment for me (wouldn't now how to insure it properly, super expensive etc), sorry! Medium neck, frets still great, no breaks/ repairs, original case with red plush, later 1978 already with the sustain block (which I love). Cheers C.

Stunning!!! I believe it's a natural maple top? So cool. Still remember a late (2006?) hamer standard in a natural that looked just gorgeous.

Thanks for the update, all the best for the move! The hfc is quite fabulous. The only forum I activley follow. Cheers! C.

Happy Easter! A somewhat later reply as i got overly excited by the 4digit V in the other thread. I hope we'll ge to see more of it (I'm not buying). Here's a shot from the rehearsal room with an orange rocker 30 as a backdrop and the 1980 opaque blue matching headstock special.
