Seems like a decent price these days with boomers, I think, but I don't follow these too closely. Wanted to post here in case anyone had interest in it. Edited January 22 by WorstBandName 9 1 Quote
velorush Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Atomic is killing it recently. Loads (relatively speaking, of course) of Hamers moving through. 1 Quote
ArsPo Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Chap with booms and O’Connor finish in descent condition for only 2k, crazy 6 Quote

If it weren't for my kids needing day care, clothing, and food, I might have thought to grab it! 2 3 Quote
Ham Rex Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) I wish I would have seen it. I would have bought it. Would have gone great with my Californian. I love Sustainiacs too. Edited January 24 by Ham Rex 7 Quote

cmatthes Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Stopped by Atomic yesterday with my son. Hamerwise: 1. Non-Trem 94 Daytona - Black/Maple. Replaced guard, Bridge and Middle pickups (JBJr and a Lace Sensor). Lightweight though and nice neck. They'll definitely deal on the tagged price. 2. Black '87 SS-1 - Rosewood/Dots. Actually a thicker neck than most of the ones I've owned, but for a small body, it was pretty hefty. 3. White '87 Chapparal (listed as a "Custom", but rosewood/dots). Earlier '87 set-neck model with the Strat jack cup on the face, not the side, standard mini-toggles. Overall in okay shape, but a bit ambitiously priced at $1900 - reiterating that they will deal if you're a serious buyer. 4. Red 1990 Centaura - some heavy finish checking, and the original Hamer Floyd might need to be replaced, but otherwise, not bad at all. It's entirely likely that there was another Hamer/Hamers lurking somewhere in there - if you haven't actually been inside Atomic, you wouldn't understand! There are literally THOUSANDS of guitars on racks, walls, stands, piles, etc. and they're not sorted in any consistent way other than guitars over $3,500 are usually behind the counter on the high wall or close to the front of the store. Everything else is just...everywhere else. I truly love that shop! Wish I'd gotten to check out the Dragonskin Chap from last month that sold for $2,499! 3 Quote

Mike Brooks Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I saw the SS the last time I was there. Almost got it but there was a terrible bow in the neck. It was the Saturday after Black Friday and really busy, or I would have asked them to make sure the truss-rod was okay and working Quote

A year or so later, I had second thoughts but it was LONG gone. Quote
