tomteriffic Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Mine hasn't arrived yet, and may not for a while. But it's ordered and is the only Hamer I bought this year. It will look approximately like this:
belgian Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Got this one from Ken (Pirateflynn): And this one stayed here after the HFC Euro meeting :
BruceM Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I sorely needed a pink guitar, and imagine my delight when I spied this guitar on my local craigslist. I emailed immediately on a Saturday, and quickly needed to come up with $400 cash. My bank was already closed, so I called up good buddy and FV guitarist Dave Berg. He came to my rescue with $300 cash, and I drove out to get this guitar. Turns out the guy had just gotten laid off from the same company I got laid off from a few years back, and he also knew a good friend of mine. We had undoubtedly been at the same parties once or twice, even though we didn't remember meeting. Here's Madame Pamita modeling this cruisebass at the 4-3-2-1 Club in May. And here's George and I jamming at the same party. I'm trying to remember if this newport showed up this year or last, but it's also become one of my fave's this year. Good stuff!
hudpucker Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 '04 Artist Custom--in mint condition. I waited for almost nine months until the store lowered the price to a trigger-pulling level (for me). Had to move a couple others to pay for it but....well, you can see why I did what I did... What finish is that?! Beautiful! The COA says 'honey.' I know...it's awesome.
LordOfTheThighs Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I wanted a Korina Vector for a LONG time. I watch Evilbay pretty close for Hamers. I watched this down to the last second and scored it for a really good price. It's a 2006 model, and is in brand new condition. I'm still super pleased with it. I added the black pickguard, courtesy of our own RobB. Just a dynamite guitar, with a great sound. I believe it came from Music Zoo. Nice folks to do biz with.
sonic1974 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 It has to be this ... To help pay for it, I had to unload my Studio Custom (liked it. didn't love it) and my Duo Tone (loved it. hurt to part with it.) So all I've got left is the Centaura...for now. Would I do it again? Well...you know the answer to that. That is awesome! How do you like it? I'd love to get one, I'll have to wait a couple of years until the price comes down on them. I'm not giving up my Studio Custom for one! ha ha My Studio Custom, I got it off of our own DavidE. I'll post pictures later on when I create a photo hosting account. It's my favourite, and the best guitar I've ever owned. It kicks the ass of the 72 Goldtop LP with the minihumbers I used to have back in the day. Long live Hamer!!!
Dr.Tom Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Since this is my only Hamer it's certainly my best for 2007: I am loving this guitar and there is a lot to love !! I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Regards, Tom
gwayne Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I bought three Hamers this year, but this one stands apart. Ordered in February, got her in September. Korina Junior with Quilt Top, Tobacco Sunburst, Ebony Board, Lollar P90, Tortoise Binding. Thanks Greg! Oh Hell Yes The quilt matches that color just perfectly. It literally looks like it's on fire. I know it must look killer in person.
serial Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Wow. 2007 was the first year since 1997 that I haven't purchased multiple Hamers. In fact, I didn't purchase a single one this year! I DID win a free Hamer XT doublecut at the annual BCRMusic sale (actually a surprisingly good guitar), but no purchases. Pretty much all Fender stuff this year (cough cough!). SOLD a bunch of Hamers though.
atquinn Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Went through a few Hamers this year. The 2004 Studio and Diablo are new (check the sig for pics). Given how ridiculously cheap it was, I'd say the Diablo was the best purchase.-Austin
Lew Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I am new to the family this year and bought a couple of Hamers. But this guitar has sold me to the Hamer brand. I have new pictures but I can't find my usb cable DOH!
SteveB Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Only one new Hamer, in fact, this is the first Hamer I've had in a couple years. Actually I only bought one guitar this year, although I did do a big trade too for a PRS. Bought a buttload of Boogies though, so I guess this was amp year. I did show some restraint and passed up on the Mark III redstripe head I just saw at a local GC.
Brooks Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 not a custom order, but i did customize this sweet player special fm that i scored from zoner w/ a phatcat /duncan custom & some chrome (pic from halloween, ha); currently awaiting the chineese custom fake hamer LP supreme (thats a mouthful) from scooter;
tralfax19645 Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Mine was a p 90 studio gold top. What a great guitar, instantly became my no 1. No pics but Im sure you know what those look like anyway
Guest Meshuggah Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Needed some BCR tender loving care, but now it is back to normal and is the Strat I Have Been Looking For.
Robert1950 Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Picked this up last January. Since changed the pups and added a .022uf oil in paper cap. Currently my number one, ... until I find a Hamer Studio for next year.
Disturber Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 I purchased a Schenker Vector from Roli. Great neck and great sounding guitar. But I quickly discovered Vectors are not for me. The Vee shape must be the most uncomfortable guitarshape ever made. Totally unplayable sitting down. Neck heavy and I kept bangning the vee edges into everything. So I unfortunately sold the guitar after only a month. Vectors still looks killer though.
Craig S Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 My only Hamer purchase in the last two years. I was lucky to pick this up when Mahogany's were not at a premium. I pull it out and play it on occassion. The Explorer body shape is not a typical shape for the kind of music I do or my age but it's still cool looking.
bubs_42 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Lucky enought to get two this year. The first is my 79 Sunburst from Pirateflynn and a 90's studio in black with P90's set to arrive tomarrow.......
guitarzandstuff Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 My custom ordered standard What and where did you get THAT???
LordOfTheThighs Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 I was watching that one on ebay, (if it's the same guitar). If I hadn't bought my Vector recently, I probably would have thrown my hat in ring for that one. I don't have a P90 equipped guitar, and with those on a black Studio, I was starting to drool. Nice score!
Hamertoe Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 This one and... this one flying in on Friday...

Nice score! Yes, it is the one from Ebay.. I thought it was a good snag and I can't wait to get it. Now all I need is a new amp..
