belgian Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The back of 7 0069 ain't so nice. The previous owner told me he contacted Hamer on this in the '80's and was told they had some problems with the clearcoat finish. They offered him a re-finsh but he never had it done. I don't care either - this one stays here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Marshall Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Len's Ferrari red sunburst is what started my Hamer obsession. Serial had her for sale and Len grabbed her just before I made Serial an offer for more than he was asking. The one that got away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It is neat seeing how the angle changes the flame on your Sunburst, Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamer Dave Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Folks,Having been bumped by @RichRS6 I finally got it together to do some (half-)decent pictures of my '78 Sunburst and (with the new Message Board utility) to post them.So, this is my '78 Sunburst (S/N 8 0253) with shimmed bridge, long headstock, bull's eye Gotohs and DiMarzio PAFs. I've had this since '84 and it's all pretty much original. A couple of the original black speed knobs shattered so I replaced them and, 'cleverly', I rewired it to 1 volume & 2 tones as the bridge pick-up is quite bright (but it would revert to standard wiring easily enough). As Andrew suggested, it does seem to have 'big dots'.Alltogether it's in pretty good shape. The top is pretty good, the curly maple figuring depends a bit on the light. I guess the colour is quite an antique red (rather then cherry red). The neck is quite rounded, frets are OK. A few dings in the back & sides as it's seen some action but is now enjoying its semi-retirement. Still sounding good.Cheers, T.What utility to post photos? Figuring I need to upload to photobucket, or ?. I need to post some pics. Thanks.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyh Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 @Hamer Dave - photos - no nothing clever, you can just attach them to a reply (but they have to be below a certain size). Cheers, T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialk Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Great thread! I always liked the top on this one, but the tone of this '91 was killer! So of course I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wil50n Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Looking back at this thread, the 79's seem to have exceptional tops, and fantastic colouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
