A few more pics to spark interest again.....

Here's another pic...

Hey Guys- up for sale is my 2002 Studio Custom in green quilt ! I love this guitar, but I'm just not playing guitar much at all these days, and work commitments mean this is sitting in the case all the time. This guitar is immaculate- I really 'babied' this one, just one tiny indentation in the lacquer near the belly- but I didn't notice it until today in the angled light. Obviously I'd prefer a UK sale, but I'm just really out of practice with sending guitars internationally at the moment..... so UK preferably......or anyone who would be happy shipping it out to someone internationally.... I will happily pick up the cost for UK shipping- or I can travel for the right sale- I've done that before - it's always nice to hand over a Hamer and see someones face light up when they open the case! Anyway, more about the guitar- I have the original amber knobs, but not the original bridge pickup I'm afraid. I was changed out to a Dimarzio Air Norton ( I had a habit a few years back of all my guitars having different sounding bridge pickups ). Dimarzio strap lock buttons installed too. Plays and sounds amazing, as you would expect! Regretting this already.....£1900. Let me know if there's any interest and I can post or send over more pics....obviously comes with the original hard case etc.. All the best, Dave

Hi David, Sorry man, had to sell the LP to help pay for the Standard madness! Great guitar, but I just wasn't giving it the attention it deserved. Went to a great guy in Wales who is using it in his band supporting Status Quo this summer. I feel I only need one more guitar now- a US Cali !!! Cheers Dave

Thanks Guys! Thanks marcnorth- that would make perfect sense as they feel EXACTLY the same guitar. Same neck and feel….. So they're a 99 and a 2000- that's even better as my Sunbursts are consecutive years……a pattern forming here! I'll post the stuff about the blue one on another thread, see if I can get more info. Cheers Dave

Hi Guys Thanks for the kid words- I'm really happy with them…. Well, the Blue one was an Ebay purchase, but I think there was more incorrect with the ebay description, than there was correct! I'm trying to stay polite here…..so I'll start a new thread and see if anyone on the board here can help. Seller listed it as 07- but serial starts with 05……..said he imported it into the UK from US himself, if so then there's one exactly the same in a music shop in the south of England that I had been watching- stuff like that! I think the blue is 05, burst is 99………. Cheers Dave

Ok, first off, apologies for not being around much- I do keep checking in, but work had been real busy, so not a bad thing really! Recent purchase No1 from Midnight Moses- many thanks to Euan for being a patient man ( again, work getting in the way), and his great hospitality- not to mention a play with his other Hamers! So top bloke all round really! Cheers Euan……. ( oh, and a mention to 'ghamerinfrance' for listing the PSA) Here she is- 99 Standard with Bare Knuckle Mules….. Top, top guitar- sounds great- mellow p/up's for me, but I'm loving it…..the mellow end of my Standards. Now, I'll start another post about this one- I think the Ebay ad was a load of rubbish- but the guitar ain't……..this is the wilder side of my Standards!!! Yes, yes- that's EMG's- the first guitar I've had with EMG's - loving that too…….although my bank balance is not so happy.. Generally just loving the Starndards………at last, I get to post in the Standard Appreciation post…... Life is good………. Cheers Dave

Jesus, The day I bought my first Gibson in 3 years, and this happens!! I was gonna sell my Studio Custom.........maybe not! Just don't want to now- doesn't feel right.... Time to plug in a Hamer and play some blues............ Sad times..... Dave

Hey Steven, How you doin? Just a quickie- what pickups you got in that Hamer now- noticed the neck one is now double creme- was zebra before, wasn't it? Maybe got a wee Jackson 'thing' goin on there..... Oh, I've joined the import club too.....bought a Korean Standard to go along with the US Sunbursts....pics soon.... Good bit of history about the Hamer...always nice to know a bit of a guitars past... Cheers Dave

Yeh- just shows how much he was trying to cash-in on Gary Moore's sad departure......I instantly 'latch' onto any sunburst/ studio etc with a floyd- but the fact he asked for sooooooo much money for it when it first listed, kinda mad me a bit angry- I just thought it would serve him right he couldn't sell it ! Well, he's not managed so far.......even after he' dropped the price by about 60% anyway... Sorry, just me rant about ripping off fans...... Cheers, Dave

There is this one- but it seems a little pricey....no affiliation or connection http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-HAMER-SPECIAL-USA-HAND-MADE-ORIGINAL-FLOYD-ROSE-83-85-LIKE-GARY-MOORE-MODEL-/290705824717?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43af6adbcd#ht_512wt_922 Has dots instead of crowns though...... Cheers, Dave

Hi there, Got my 91 Sunburst Custom Floyd fitted with Bareknuckle Steve Stevens in the bridge and a Seymour JB in the neck (?) - has the most amazing out of phase sound I've ever had- probably due to the output of the JB in the neck being quite high...allows me to get the most crazy pinch harmonics- but is tamed by the tone control if needed...I love having it so much, I fitted a push-push tone control to pop it in and out when needed...... Cheers Dave

Hey Austin, Try Bareknuckles...... my 91 Sunburst has a Steve Stevens- it's very controllable and sounds great (about 13K)- but they do a great selection of fantastic pick-ups. Check out the website for better hot- PAF comparisons http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/main/ My PRS has Bareknuckle Nailbombs....brilliant.... Funny you talking about a Distortion in the neck position- my 92 Sunburst has a Super Distortion in the neck and a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge- I love the sounds from that guitar... I'm the same- all my guitars have different pick-ups in them....no point in them sounding the same, I say.. Cheers Dave
