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!

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 

 
I wish I would have seen it.

I would have bought it.

Would have gone great with my Californian.

I love Sustainiacs too.

Ah hah! You're the one who snagged this Cali from Pete!

Damn! When that was up for grabs, I was in a Cali-reduction phase and passed on it. A year or so later, I had second thoughts but it was LONG gone. :P

Good grief! From the pictures you posted I can glean a bit of what you're talking about (especially the scale provided in the last two)!
