Hamer Special and Taylor for sale

[Craig]

Hey fellas, as some of you know, nerve damage has left me pretty much unable to play, and I don't need 5 guitars to screw around with a slide.

These are for local pickup in NY, as I can't even wrap them properly to ship if I wanted to. You are welcome to have a local friend/Hamerite come pick them up and ship them to you if you like. I've posted them on Craig'slist, here are the URLs:

Taylor

Hamer

Thanks for looking, hope everyone here is doing well.

That's not a Special, it is a Special FM! $600 is a good price, too.

[Craig]

Thanks for the clarification.

At last it's Craig posting on Craigslist

And the guitar looks great!

On a more personal note, I am really sorry about your loss of playing ability. I was facing that about 10 years ago with an arthritic condition and I know the emotional impact. I was fortunate to put the arthritis in remission, but many others are far less fortunate.

I'm not in the market for either guitar, but I live in Mineola, Long Island, which is probably somewhat close and I have packing supplies coming out of my ears, so if anyone wants to have one of these guitars shipped, I could pick it up from Craig and get it out to you.

Hamer Hokie - Thanks for the kind words

I've played one of those Taylor 314 limiteds (I think they were called "Legends of The Fall" ) and I was in love with it, so much so that I still remember how the thing smelled for Pete's sake. I was also broke, but these Koa 314's are some kind of sweet guitar. Somebody work something out with Craig.

[Guest Meshuggah]

Man, I did not need to see that FM.

[Stokesdead]

if my tak EVER sells. I may grab that FM from you. Hope you get better man.

[Craig]

thanks

Craig, sorry about the nerve problem... Any chance to heal?

Well, I have a friend here who is interested on the FM. Can you please post some bigger pictures of it with the nasty details -- dings and such?

Thanks in advance man, and good luck!

Hi Zorrow,

Here's the skinny on the guitar:

Neck profile is what I would call medium/chunky - nice and comfy and not skinny like a Les Paul.

The Special is an FM with very little in the way of wear. It shows 6 small holes on the back of the headstock where the old tuners were removed and the Sperzels installed. The frets are great, may have been a re-fret at one point (I'm the second owner, bought the guitar from BCR Greg, I believe he did a refret and pickup upgrade for the last owner, can't really remember, it's been 4-5 years since I bought the guitar, Gregster, if you are reading this and would care to clarify, I would appreciate it)

The other down and dirty is two really small screw holes that were filled because the last owner had a gibson style pickguard on it, that I had removed. To tell the truth, you don't see them unless you are looking for them.

Assorted pick swirls as to be expected on an 11 year old guitar, but I give it overall a 9 out of 10 condition, and I'm a pretty tough grader.

As far as the nerve damage - it was supposed to be fine reight after the op in April, then it was supposed to take 6 months, now a year or two, and the numbness will always stay. Thanks for asking - Craig
