cornjulio Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Would be nice to find a very clean vintage NO ISSUE sunburst. "Seventies" and BLACK would be the preference. Hit me!
Guest bondedbybrick Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 C - You have good taste in older Sunburst's!! Good luck in your quest. I have no idea how many black Sunburst's were built in the 78-79 period. Maybe Serial Steve can give us a clue. Derek
cornjulio Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 I always laugh at that oxymoron. Black Sunburst "Black burst sun, won't you come...and wash away the rain..."

Maybe Serial Steve can give us a clue. Derek I forget. Not that many. I figured it out, but IIRC, it wasn't that many. There were 5 shades of sunburst from light to dark, black, natural and cherry trans (in '79) as standard finishes and then a few custom colors here and there.

serial Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I don't think I got to play it post-restoration, but with that lefty black trem on it, it was one of the best sounding/playing Hamers I've ever owned. It is either the fifth or sixth black Sunburst made IIRC. Martin Barre's was around 8 0160 in a "run" of three black ones (his was first).
Guest pirateflynn Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 It's very difficult to find a guitar that is as beautiful as a black B/C Hamer Sunburst. I've done plenty of deals with Kilroy ..... he definately has nice taste in gear!

cornjulio Posted May 24, 2008 Author Posted May 24, 2008 Barry has some taste! I've never seen a blue sunburst. I wonder what else was available back in the days...
