Bob davis Model??????????

I don't want to throw water on that one or anything, but somebody "in the know" at Hamer told me several years ago that a certain gentleman named Ed, uh, let's just call him "Ed Bloman" made fake Hamers while at East Coast Music Mall in CT in the early/mid-90s. I have seen one dubious one that did not have a serial number but did have a "USA" after the logo.

Buyer beware, but I'd get verification from Hamer before I'd bid on that one.

And if you look at some of the "Bloman" B.C. Rich guitars he was selling they all had AMAZING quilt maple bodies/wings and either Green or Blue finishes-all of which if you know BC rich back in the 70's and 80's didn't do.

hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

This one's in Hamer's books. #024905 "Bob Davis, Custom, Blue, GH, N.O., 5-24 Eng"

"GH" is gold hardware. Made right after Nancy Wilson's Watson and right before Tommy Shaw's 6/12 doubleneck and 5 before Tom Petersson's FB4 that another HFC member owns. A good week of Hamers!

How's THAT for verification? /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

So, a refin then? How to explain the headstock?

Could the book say blue and it was green?

Yes. Many of the older "blue" trans Hamers have faded to green-I've seen four old Specials that looked like green trans that when you looked under the pickup rings or in the control cavity, they were clearly blue originally. The green finishes look a bit more "teal" than actual green-like this one.

 
Bob Davis is a Chicago-based Jazz/R&B/Funk guitarist who was also a writer/editor at Guitar World magazine in the 1980s. He has had many custom Hamer guitars made for him over the years, and I belive that he is a personal friend of Jeff Golub, Felicia Collins, Adrian Belew and Jol Dantzig.

The Gold logo is original and has been used on a few different Hamers oer the years.

I remember a gold logo Hamer from the mid 90's that was placed across the top of the headstock (a la Gibson) instead of in line with the tuners.

Again, never say never with Hamer.
