Had this baby a week,, awesome Checkerboard Special goodness, no breaks and I dont half to think about a refret. I am happy, holes, sticker residue and all!!!

A little history, I bought my first Hamer on Ebay 4yrs ago.The seller was a Pawnshop in Arizona.. Loved the guitar, but,, a dry aged desert guitar and you can guess the condition. Sold it, wish I kept it,, you know the story.

But with the last 2 Hamers I bought, I am way beyond happy,, and as you know,, Its not the kill but the thrill of the chase.

Included a pic with my 77 Yamaha SG 2000, and my non-AOR Protube Laney 50 ( no goofy knobs to pull) if you guys see one of these buy one!!

Congrats! I think I was eyeing that one somewhere... Was it on eBay?

It's hard for me to overstate how much I dig my checkerboard special. It's got this delicate quality to it that's hard to describe. Really articulate and has a great sound both plugged and unplugged.

Thanks guys!! Yep it was a ebay score,, seller is a awesome dude. and,, I do see a another checkerboard special in my future,, but ,, I don't want to unload my SG2000 to fund it,, maybe its goodbye jmp

 
Nice! I was watching that one. Loved the graphic just had not decided on what hamer model to get. So glad it came to someone here. Funny each time I go on ebay I hope to spot another one like it. Enjoy that guitar.

 
nice! looks like one an older guy from my high school had; its not from the dallas tx area is it?

 
Beautiful Hamer! One of these is on my list actually, up at the top. I want one with a fatter neck, and there was just one like that on the bay but I missed it. Congrats!
