Cornjulio,

It's a keeper, sorry ... just to good to let go for the €850 I paid and I just love the "unburst" /emoticons/default_tongue.png

After I bought my eBay price record breaking 78 I thought I would need a backup, so I decided to get one. I looked around for weeks to no avail (I actually missed a near mint 79 that sold for €1300 in the Thomann classifieds). Last Sunday night I check eBay Kleinanzeigen, type in "Hamer" and the first ad is the above guitar. It had 70 views already and I reckoned it was long gone. It turns out that the guy did not want to ship, local pickup only. Apparently all the contacts were asking for shipment.

I wrote him, told him I would come the next day any time convenient, told him I would not negotiate the price and shell out the dough cash and gave him my full name, address and phone number, so he could check me out. That was about 11 pm on Sunday.

I got an SMS 10 minutes later with an appointment for the next day and ... well here she is ... /emoticons/default_tongue.png I was just stupid lucky ... also that my buddy did not see it before me. He'd been checking eBay Kleinanzeigen too and lives only half the distance.

So, if I ever sell it, it goes to my buddy, who's been scratching on my door ... /emoticons/default_tongue.png

Cheers Todde

[ARM OF HAMER]

I can't remember if I posted both of mine together here either but in any case.................here they are...........both from 1979. No "SUN" in either of these Sunbursts /emoticons/default_wink.png ................maybe a "Black" Hole SUN" /emoticons/default_laugh.png

This is my all original 79 Sunburst and my restorated Sunburst. There was no Serialnumber to find, but it must be between 78-81.

And the human Guitarholder /emoticons/default_biggrin.png is the Guitarbuilder Frank Deimel from Berlin. He did a great job.
