serial Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 As Kurtstuff has said before..."never say never". This is one that I fully expected would be with me forever, but I'm jonesing BAD for a 70s Iceman and/or a Les Paul Custom, either of which I'd use more, since I don't gig this one. You know the drill. 1989 Hamer Sunburst with factory Floyd Rose made for Scotti Hill of Skid Row and toured as one of his main guitars (have an old Guitar mag from 1990 with this guitar and his rig). Guitar is VERY clean. Only non-original thing is that different tuners were on the headstock at one point, but the Hamer tuners were put back on (long before I got it), so there are extra holes. Custom features, you ask? Of course. Single master volume control, no tone, ebony board, cherry back with beautifully figured flametop in tobacco burst, natural satin finihed neck and the cool thing is that this has an arm bevel like a Strat (factory) so you don't get that annoying digging into your arm like on most bound bodied guitars. Sound? Fuc& yeah. A monster. With original hardshell Hamer case, condition is an EASY 9/10 (I don't do decimal grades, but it's much cleaner than most "9"s I've seen)-no buckle rash or dulling. $4200 or I'll consider a few limited trades, like a Historic LP Custom, a 70s Mockingbird or a 70s Iceman and cash. Don't want to get rid of this one, but GAS is a tough thing. If it doesn't sell, I can find something else to move and won't be offended in the slightest!
RacerX Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Someone PLEASE buy something from Serial so this thing goes off the market... The second time around and it's still killn' me. What a cool guitar. My little ol' heart can't take it!!! Mark

BubbaVO Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Sweet! Reminds me of Atquinn's guitar. I like that burst and the maple neck(?).
silentman Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 HMFS!No it's KSFM.Damn serial, you're letting some cool pieces potentially drift away. This is one I'd love to have even more than the SS, but out of my league.
serial Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Ahhh, I remember that one.........And it re-members you. (OK, REAL bad SR pun there....)

Steve, No interest in a 59 Historic?
iownit4 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 intersted in a les paul class 5 blue flame ..............
serial Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Not really into Les Pauls that aren't in the classic Custom/Standard/Deluxe mold. The 59s are ok, but I'm not that much of a 'burst guy, so I'd need cash on top. The R9s are nice, but I was looking for a Custom. Who knows though, shoot me pics of yours if you have any.
serial Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Had some trade + cash offers come in, but nothing that works for me yet. I'm open to a bunch of stuff-probably more than I realize, but not really in need (or looking for) any bolt-on stuff unless it's a 70s Fender Telecaster Deluxe. With trade+cash, I can be a good bit more flexible. Something w/a Bigsby could be cool (including Hamer), but I'm more into the traditional vintage stuff, so nothing like a Reverend or Ibanez Talman. I'm sure that those are nice from what I hear, but too non-traditional/vintage for what I'd actually use. Thanks for all of the replies so far-this is a COOL guitar. Can take more pics if necessary.

Devnor Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Uber cool guitar & one I wanted for a while...too bad I gave all my money to John Suhr
DEMENTED Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Why do I have to be broke when stuff like this appears? Obviously can't afford it but would love to see a pic of that arm bevel from the edge...
hamertek98 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Not too long ago I posted that I didn't like tobacco burst finishes. I lied.
serial Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Bump.Price to $4000 even. Pulled this guitar out yesterday. Get me while I'm weak-if I spend too much more time with this one, it's not going anywhere and I'll move something far less cool!
serial Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Got some photo requests and actually had some time to snap some with my ailing camera... the arm bevel (this is COOL!) The top from another angle:

silentman Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 In a moment of weakness, I'd be tempted to offer my Watson but I can't bring myself to it. This is a cool one.
atquinn Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Wow, the new picture look great. Wish I had a extra few grand laying around...-Austin
serial Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Still around?I believe it is spoken for...
