Hamer95USA Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Hey eightyfour, You're looking for a Hamer USA TLE or a T-51 guitar, right? That's the guitars with the Telecaster shaped bodies. A T-62 is the strat shaped body with 3 single coil pickups, a single volume knob and an EQ switch. I posted a couple of pictures of my '97 T-51. Is this what you're looking for? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Gui...ge/8b8464c0.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Gui...orge/Pic057.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Gui...orge/Pic056.jpgTLE (1986 - 1992) - Single cutaway mahogany body usually with a flat maple top and a 24-fret glued-in neck (24.75 inch scale). The basic guitar has a Hamer six-on-a-side peghead, rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays. The Custom has a bound body, ebony fingerboard, boomerang inlays and a steeply angled peghead. Hardware on most guitars consist of a Floyd Rose trem. or Sustain-block bridge and humbucker/two single coil pickups (Hamer Slammer or OBL). The most recent guitars have a thicker contoured maple top (body usually unbound). T51 (1993 - 1997) - Single cutaway slab body (Telecaster style) of southern ash with a 22-fret bolt-on maple neck (25.5 inch scale length) with black dot markers. Hardware includes two Seymour Duncan single coil pickups (one mounted on the scratchplate) and Wilkinson HT100 bridge. Also available with a piezo-electric Fishman Power Bridge. T62 (1991 -1995) - Similar styling to the Daytona but has a smaller body and a birds-eye maple neck with Pau Ferro fingerboard; fitted with an ABM roller-saddle non-locking trem. and a three-band active EQ.

Bluesking Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Hey Guitar George - ever think about selling your T-51? C'mon - you don't really need it, do you? I've been looking for one for a while, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas where I can get one?
HamStd Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 EightyFour: I have this one for sale-$450 + shipping. If you are interested, email me at Hamstd@aol.com Thanks Peter.
Hamer95USA Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Hey Guitar George - ever think about selling your T-51? C'mon - you don't really need it, do you? I've been looking for one for a while, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas where I can get one? Hello Bluesking, I just got that '97 T-51 off of E-bay a few weeks ago. I had to buy the OHSC from another HFC member since it came with a gig bag. It took me six months to find one like that. I was almost going to buy one back in November 2004, but bought a Chapparal Elite 90 in December 2004. Then Teleman sold a T-51 with a rosewood fingerboard with Nashville Tele mods on it and someone bought that one too. I tried to buy that one, but I didn't move fast enough. Bluesking , I feel ya about the frustrations on finding the killer Hamer USA T-51 guitars. Keep looking on the For Sale, Trade, or Pay It Forward messageboard on the HFC, E-bay or Craig's List. Someone out there will sell the T-51 you're looking for. I waited and found one for a good price. Good luck on your search, my friend. Hey HamStd, That is a very cool stock Hamer USA TLE guitar you have for sale. Whoever gets that one is going to be very happy especially for the price. Guitar George

That's exactly what I'm looking for. How much George?? Hello eightyfour, I saw your posting. I was trying to help you figure out what kind of guitar you were describing. That's a Hamer USA T-51 guitar. They're kind of hard to find and were only made by Hamer USA for about 4 years between 1993 to 1997. I apologize for doing guitar torture, promoting G.A.S., etc. I get that all the time when I come on this messageboard and see everybody else's cool Hamer USA custom order guitars. Sorry guys, my '97 T-51 is not for sale!! Hamstd's guitar for sale is a TLE and a very cool guitar to boot. His price is very reasonable and would make a nice guitar for someone's guitar collection. Guitar George
HamStd Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Eightyfour: I don' t know if you saw this one that popped up on ebay. But it might be more of what you were looking for in a T51???Peter.T51 on ebay
killerteddybear Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Question for my future reference - what are the scale lengths of the T-51 and the TLE?I'm just curious if these are true Telecaster clones (with the Fender scale length) or lookalikes...
Jimbilly Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Is this one still at yuppie-pawn off 405? When I was last there (6 months ago already) the guy told me $500 out the door.
black magic Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Oh man, natural with a Floyd!! That is a sweet one. Jack.
