Citrus Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 Haven't seen this posted yet. Says they got it from Mr Fung. Totally in love with this. It ain't cheap. Interesting story on it question. If made for the fan club wouldn't it have a 1 of ___ on the headstock?? Having a tough time not hitting the offer button. Thoughts?? https://reverb.com/item/85679954-hamer-sunburst-one-of-a-kind-hamer-fan-club-2001-natural?utm_campaign=MessagesMailer%23notify_recipient&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid 6 Quote

stonge Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 i think they took the orders for these at an HFC open house; they might be the sustainblock bridges that were found in storage. They didn't get an HFC stamp AFAIK and they only found 8 bridges so that's the number of guitars that were available to order. Eric from Boston ordered a matching pair in natural and cherry sunburst, and i forget who else ordered the rest. It's a cool one-off out of the batch if the top was pulled from Jol's private stash. With used Standard Customs going for $4k, i think that one is priced fairly considering it's one of eight and possibly the 'best' in the lot. 3 1 Quote
maxprs Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 The two piece top and the gold bridge gives her a different appeal than the late 70s/early 80s sunbursts we use to know. I mean in a good way, it's really a beauty. 1 Quote
Citrus Posted November 16, 2024 Author Posted November 16, 2024 Is that reading correct, or is the portion of the caliper on the bass strings throwing it off? Quote
Cboss Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 That is really beautiful.. does anyone remember what the price to the hfc was at the time they were offered? Quote

topekatj Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 (edited) Love birdseye but what’s up with the colors of the rhythm pickup coils? I don’t think that’s right. Edited November 17, 2024 by topekatj Quote
BoogieMKIIA Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 The caliper is stopped by the edge of the neck/fingerboard. Can’t tell where the other side of the caliper jaw is sitting, assuming the center orphan the back of the neck. Quote
from my fingers Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 Its not a one piece top, still it looks really nice. Quote

WorstBandName Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 I've been watching this one as well. It's pretty awesome but doesn't feel like it's $5K guitar still considering the rather niche demand on this sort of thing. I would think this is maybe $4k at top in my mind, and I would not pay that even though I think it's awesome and want to own it. If we all agree not to buy it, we can help that price drop, right? RIght?! 1 Quote

To measure neck thickness I just either remove the strings or slacken them enough to slide the caliper underneath. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. 3 Quote

Sorry, but I don't have enough hands to get a picture of it at work. Here's a shot measuring a penny. If it were a guitar neck, the pencil part will fit in between the strings so I can measure to the fretboard or to a fret without having to loosen or remove strings. I hope that helps. It took about 10 minutes to make the gigit and so far 2 hours trying to get a picture of what it does. Duh g 3 2 Quote
BadgerDave Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 (edited) Yup, I was not seeing the obvious. That's brilliant! Now waiting for the StewMac $50.00 version. Edited November 19, 2024 by BadgerDave 5 Quote

It will be $299, complete with the usual fat sheaf of five star reviews from real people who wondered how they ever got up in the morning through life without this particular widget 🤣 1 Quote
Ham Rex Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 Can I ask if there were 8 or 9 made for the club, wouldn't they have been made the same year? 1999 or 2001? The one in this add is 2001. Please chime in, but in my opinion they would have been made the same year. Quote
