[diablo81]

Hi all

I've been on the hunt for the details of the birth of my hamer diablo

its serial number is 540496

it doesn't match any of the details on the hamer website

can anybody help, it all started last week when a guy came upto me at a gig who was a guitarist and asked what guitar was in my hamer case as he had read an artical in a guitar mag about a limited run of natural wood hamer diablos...to the guys surprise i pulled the same guitar out of the case which was in the mag.... it felt good it made me feel all warm inside lol

Gotta love owning a hamer!

Cheers

It's buried in the support menu: serial numbers

Yours is the 40,496th Hamer made under the non-4 digit numbering system.

There was a limited run of Natural finish Diablos done right about that time. I can't remember the specifics but I thought they all went overseas.

More info please. This is the stuff I that gets me excited about this board.

That's one of the things that I think is exciting about Hamers in general. Unlike Gibson or Fender where even a limited run is more than the monthly (somtimes yearly) output of Hamer, you can identify individual instruments' histories. I once tracked down an SS2 after seeing a pic of it in the factory just before completion. It's since moved on, but I thought that was cool.

cheers guys for the reply

its strange i've never seen one with just the one volume like mine.

I agree thats why i love owning them and playing them live people are always asking about the hamer guitar.

Most people just go out and get, like you said a gibson or fender

i can' believe more people don't use them lol

more for us lol

here'e a pic

I've got a mid-90s Brit "Guitarist" mag (I'm pretty sure that's the one) with Jan Cykra reviewing that guitar. I think he used one just like/very similar to that for a few years in there.
