harryland 1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 My first Hamer: 1992 sunburst archtop. I bought it on ebay a few years ago. Together with 9 1352. a.k.a. Nitebob's sunburst. 8 0475 a.k.a. Tiger Wood. 9 0838. A great guitar. 9 0943. This one was on consignment in a local shop last year. For a good price, but with the wrong block.

serial 3,631 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 1985 Electraglide: Oh my God. The perfect Hamer. I got that one seventeen years after I first saw it when it arrived new at the dealer and was told when I asked the owner how much it was, "sorry, it's spoken for". THAT's perseverence. Edited to add-it even has the RIGHT headstock!! Link to post Share on other sites

RkR 0 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi everyone! I haven't been on the board in a while but I LOVE it when I come back and find a new Sunburst appreciation thread. Here's my $0.02 : 1978 8-0131 All original, early shimmed bridge, long/thin headstock w/ Grover Bullseyes, fairly chunky neck profile. It's been a favorite of mine for a long time.

Steve Jackson 0 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 What a great thread! Thought I should post them here as well. I have so many more colors to get It's great to see them all Trans Red fade out 1980 Serial No 0-1650 My recent ebay 1978 Serial No 8-0140 I should have my third Sunburst real soon!!!

Gitslide 15 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This is my '79. It would be wrong to call it a "player". More like "PLAYED". It's been mine since I bought it new in 1979. Always the go-to guitar, sets me on the right path. It's thrashed and trashed, there's places on the neck where I've worn the paint right off. Amazingly, never been broken! Now I wonder where that '78 Sunburst is that I traded into GC in the early 1990s? Link to post Share on other sites
