HAMER still shines brightly ...

[boundandcrowned]

... at least at my home:

Recently I discovered this beautiful neon sign (not LED!). I suspect that it is from the 80s or 90s. I even had to buy a step-down transformer to be able to use it. Amazing that it survived all these years unharmed.

With more than 40 Hamer guitars in my collection, it seemed to me to be the cherry on top.

I hope you like it too.

Awesome and bright!

That is the absolute coolest!!!

 

 

 

 

oh and dibs! 😃

[HamerCustomEr]

Wow!  Where on Earth did you find that gem?

 

[boundandcrowned]

I found it on "Kleinanzeigen". It's a website similar to "Craigslist". The seller is a musician himself (keybords) and had a studio in which he used the neon sign as decoration. He had acquired it many years ago when a music store closed down and now wanted to get rid of it.

I had to pick it up in person,  because he did not want to ship it for understandable reasons. I didn't even know that such a thing existed.

No, I haven't created a list yet.

But I'm planning to move to a larger home next year (near Koblenz) with more space for the guitars. So this is an invitation to you to visit me and the Hamers.

It would be a pleasure for me to meet other Hamer nerds in my own modest "Nerdville". I hope everthing works out fine in a few months.

 

And by the way: I can't upload pictures anymore, even at smaller file size. Any information about that?

Forget all this picture business; where can I see Squeeze, Adam Ant and Haircut 100? That would be killer! Was that last September or this coming September?
