DEMENTED Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I gave this beauty away for $625 earlier this year...it was all I could get and it was a 9/10.... c. 1993 in Aztec Gold w/ gold hardware pkg.
tomteriffic Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 This ones not for sale, but... Second from right. I gave just under $900, sales tax and all for this '93, NOS. It was my first Hamer. Amazingly, the neck is very medium-ish.

Amazingly, the neck is very medium-ish. I've got the same 1993 Special FM (2nd from right), same color but my neck is very thin, which I really like. Wayne
bubs_42 Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 I'm dig the THIN NECK'S, I didn't used to but I had a 79 Les paul and then the Sunburst and those necks are killer. Keep um coming Guy's!! Anyone looking to part with one?
holLoWskull Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 My purple 1995 Special FM is still for sale. Not the best picture in the world of the guitar as it makes the top look like it's two different colors, but I can send more pictures if interested. $800 shipped/insured to a CONUS address, $775 + all shipping fees to non_CONUS HFC'ers. I'll even pass on the savings and knock off $25 if you pay in cash/USPS money order/cashier's check drawn from a US bank instead of Paypal. Price may seem steep to some, but this thing is about as close to mint condition as you'll probably find in a used 1995 Special FM. OHSC (Hamer) also in NM shape now included instead of the SKB one in the picture since it seems to be a deal breaker for most HFC'ers.
bubs_42 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Posted August 28, 2006 Lookin good, didn't I see in another thread that this was a refin? Correct me if I am wrong.
bubs_42 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Posted August 28, 2006 I would like to get one in the 92,93 range. But all with be worthy of a buy. Looking for a good color and Top. Thanks to those that have replied!
holLoWskull Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Lookin good, didn't I see in another thread that this was a refin? Correct me if I am wrong. Yes you did see it in another thread a few weeks ago, and yes it is a refinish. The original finish was faded bad on the top and had several bubbles under the clear (not Hameritis, something totally different that I've seen in a lesser degree on a couple other purple Hamers from the mid-90's). The refinish was done by the guys at Hamer in the Connecticut factory back in early 04' and they did a fantastic job of matching the original color (which was still perfectly intact under the pickup rings and under the control cavity plate). In hindsight, I should have saved my money and just left the guitar as it was and played the snot out of it without worrying about how the finish looked. Alas, I was a couple years younger and more foolish (if that's possible) back then I digress, the guitar is still for sale and I'll give it another try on ebay in a couple weeks if I get no HFC takers. If you or any other HFC'er is interested, please e-mail me within the next couple weeks.
Mike_C Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I'd be willing to part with this one. $800 plus shipping.
Guest pirateflynn Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I'd be willing to part with this one. $800 plus shipping. Damn Mike, that's beautiful!

DaveL Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Hi, click on the link to see a few nice FM's... (once there, click on photo album on the right) Hamers I've stupidly sold

Amazingly, the neck is very medium-ish. Hey Tom. Is that the Red Special you sold to Ken Jones or ? Yup, that's the one. His first one was minty fresh and he was scared to gig with it, so he jumped on mine when I made it available. Oh, and Mike C. That looks a lot like mine IRL. That's a beaut!
geoff_hartwell Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 DaveL,What's the story with the eclipse?
bubs_42 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Posted August 30, 2006 To hell with other guitars was that a KOA SPECIAL!! Huge Fan of Koa, Hawaii, purly awsome. Tell me you did not sell that one?

DaveL Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 thanks for the comments guys... that flametop eclipse was prettycool. It was listed on the Daddy's website as flametop eclipse andsince Daddy's screws up the descriptions about 50% of the time, I just assumed it was a typo... It played great, it cut through the mix like a razor but it weighed about 20 lbs... I was told they made a handful of them. I got the koa FM special here from the original owner. I seem to recall that the the store custom ordered it in koa and he bought it from them that way. The thing was beautiful but since I was putting a down payment on a condo around two years ago, I ebayed it oh well... BTW: MikeC's FM special listed above is quite the specimen.It looks to me like they used an ultimate grade top for it.. I don't think you'll find one like that on ebay...
Jim Fairbairn Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Hi, click on the link to see a few nice FM's... (once there, click on photo album on the right) Hamers I've stupidly sold DaveLAh yes, the Koa FM. That was a unique guitar.

That was a unique guitar. Jim (who sold me the guitar BTW...) can you add anything about how yougot that guitar? the thing was just aboutthe coolest looking Hamer I've ever owned... Dave
Travis Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 That Koa FM is tits, absolute tits. But, since the FM designation stands for "figured maple," shouldn't that be called a Special K, or perhaps a Special FK? Of course, that second one would probably be lengthened to the Special Fuck and we all know where that would go. Anyway, here's my 95 Aztec Gold. Awesome guitars. I think I should probably get another one sometime. If I ever find that Special koa, I will buy it in a heartbeat.
