Thanks cynic. $650 might have had me with OHSC, but it's only with a gig bag.

I agree. It takes a lot of patience to break the $800 mark, from what I've seen. It takes extreme circumstances, ignorance, or condition to break $600. One nice thing about GC is they have a lot of used inventory listed. Unfortunately they usually seem to charge $100 to $500 more than a proper "deal" on used Hamers, but it does let you monitor prices at times when CL and eBay are slow. And of course it's probably the equal of a guitar that would sell for 2-3x that once you get your hands on it.

Thanks! I appreciate the consideration. I called down there yesterday to confirm its a USA model with OSHC (it is), and to get the year. The guy at the shop wanted to talk about it so we did. He went over it in hand without my even asking. Said the neck was on the thin side (at least as thin as a 60s Gibson neck in his words) and has the volute. It's a 93 from the S/N. I've got no heartburn about the condition, but the price seems high based on what he described. At $400 or maybe even $499 I'd jump on it. Who knows... If tax time doesn't shake some Hamers loose from the grove, I may still. In the meantime, I noticed that the dot neck Studio P90 GT is back up on eBay... It bid to over $1100 last time. Still a bagain compred to the Studio GT P90 custom owned by Dweezl Zappa for $1950. I'd love a gold top and don't seem to care much for real Gibsons, so maybe it's time to spend a little extra for a non-beater.

Bump. I'd also be interested in a Vintage S.

Bump. I landed an 80's Special, so I'm now looking for a P90 Special, P90 Artist, or a T-62 in (almost) any condition. Aside from the T-62, I'd prefer a hardtail of some sort.

Man that's a creepy photo of David Tenant! (I gotta lay off the Doctor Who...)

HBD to all of you!

Thanks Carl. I saw your FS listing, but at the moment I'm not looking for a special with a trem. Good luck with your sale.

Still looking bump. I think I've replied to everyone so far. If you're waiting on me, send me a PM.

Put me on the list for one too!

When I bought my first Hamer, I put up a similar post... basically saying "the one you thought was unsellable? I might buy it" and I got a great deal on a guitar that was otherwise not getting posted. Since the FS section was pretty slow lately, and a lot of eBay sellers are asking a lot for what they've got, I figured I'd post a WTB to see what was waiting in the wings. Maybe next time I'll try a shorter post: "WTB: USA Hamer, playable preferred, under $1000. Set necks preferred, but not required." If all I wanted to do was look... yes. That and the upcoming book would be perfect. For better AND for worse, no one but me keeps guitars at my place, so I do occasionally need to plunk down coin and own them if I want to play them.

@Never2Late - I PM'd you. Thanks for the offers I've had so far. I'm still looking, so feel free to send me a PM or post here.

Awesome guitar. Congrats on that one. I had hoped to land one of those or a studio in Aztec Gold as a first Hamer, so I'm a little jealous. I wouldn't read too much into a nut replacement. For some folks, changing nut material is like picking a string gauge; they want what they want, and they do it out of preference and not necessity. So let me welcome you to the HFC with a friendly calling of "dibs" in case you wanna sell that one.

That could be cool... Got any pics?

Hi all, I'm looking for a Special, Artist, or possibly a T-62 to compliment a wraptail Studio. I would probably probably take a superstrat, duo tone, standard, or vector, but I doubt I'd find one in the same price range. I landed an 80's Special, so I'm now looking for a P90 Special, P90 Artist, or a T-62 in (almost) any condition. - A little beat up is preferred, as I'd love to save a few extra dollars. - A lot beat up is fine too, as saving more means more Hamers - I'd consider something that needs a structural repair - Bad or missing hardware is ok - Bad electronics are no problem - I'm not all that picky about colors - translucent, solid, sparkle, graphic, whatever... - I can probably tolerate just about any neck profile they've made - I can do with or without case So if you've got something that might fit the bill, lemme know!

That's great! I'm glad you're digging it. How's it feel compared to the studio?

True. That said, I think it's still possible to be unable to think of something to say. To this day I can't remember if I told Michael Hedges "thank you" the one time I got to meet him. I sure hope that I did.

Happy Birthday Greg and thank you for everything you bring to this community! That includes, but is not limited to, fixing a neck break on what would later become my '96 Studio.

I can't believe that for a six year old thread ALL of these are still in widespread use!

It takes a strong man to rock a pink guitar. I had one in my formative years... I insisted that my Kramer Focus 6000 was in fact "rotting flesh pink".

Man, that Cali Custom...

That is some seriously straight grained mahogany right there! I love the contrast in the stressed neck too. Mine's really subtle by comparison.

My first is a '96 Studio that I purchased here, from Caddie, in June of 2011.

$200? Don't tell anyone, but I'll give you $350 for it so you can feel good about turning a profit.
