Unless I missed something isn't this precisely what u r looking for? Black Sunburst on ebay Some of your pictures look like they came from this ebay listing. Bricks n Mortar dealer. $1795 Buy It Now. Too much blood for ya? No harm in calling them up n making an offer?

Yep that is where I pulled the pics for referencing that model year and the details................this guitar has been up for sale forever [YEARS] it seems.................been discussed here on THFC many times.............it would be gone by now for sure except for the price............which they just raised BTW, sure a offer could be made and I'll bet some have but obviously non close enough to score it. Cool guitar though,gold sustain bridge, all the right wear,no breaks................. original except for the bridge PUP ring it looks like. Whats not to like? The price keeps it from being someone else's guitar"Portland Music" is just keeping it till they get what they want hence its STILL there.Tempting overpriced though it is.

OP,Does this control cavity look correct for a 1982?
It could be me and I don't have a sunburst in front of me to compare (I'll pull the backplate off one and post pics), but the soldering in this one looks really sloppy for original Hamer work. Clearly they changed the bridge pickup and that is reflected by that gigantic glob of solder sitting on the pot, but the colored wiring looks funky to me, the soldering to the tone pot looks changed and it is hard to tell if the tone capacitor is original as well. Things to consider on the guitar. They don't pop up every day and you certainly don't see a lot of gold sustain block bridges walking around either.

That looks like one of the original HFC SB77 guitars from 2000. That looks like Eric B.'s old sunburst. I think at the time there was only 1 or possibly 2 done with a quilt top.This sure looks nice................reissue from 2000?....................Special Run? I Do like this guitar,yeah its not black but VERY cool and I would guess pretty hard to come across as well.
Nice guitar, they play and sound GREAT. Sort of like a re-interpretation of the original with a lot more "ummph" !!!

I didn't see the tone cap in the pic when I looked-the little green thing doesn't look right-they usually used a .001 yellow colored tube-shaped one. The skinny little green white and red wires are what has been in several of my early 80s Hamers and while the soldering does look sloppy for Hamer, I've seen some that didn't look this good.

Form an orderly queue here please and at least let us know how much it's up for.
EDITED TO ADD. If you don't buy the one above then you're just being way too picky.

Almost looks like a Hamer Sunburst..............some differences to be sure but that looks like the inspiration.
Is this one for sale somewhere? Awesome looking top.
The above pic is from elduave's 2006 listing: FS-'00 Sunburst Reissue SB77Is this one for sale somewhere? Awesome looking top.
I believe it is the SB77 I currently own as detailed here
