bubs_42 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Good Lord it's tempting! I just don't know if I could hang around to the end....It's gonna get deep. I lucked out with a BIN for $1700.00 on mine. #221 Love it.. It doesn't get out much if I go for a Standard its the "91" that gets the time.
acb Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 pretty cool when buried treasure from the class of 77 surfaces
specialk Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I lucked out with a BIN for $1700.00 on mine. #221 Love it.. Oh sure bro, rub it in, Congrats on your sweet purchase! Nothing like being in the right place at the right time. If I do go for the Standard, that great Sunburst MAY come up on the selling block itself. I hope not.... But.... You never know. I'd just hate tapping into my savings that deep! Rod ON EDIT: This would wreak hell with my plan to get a Special FM next. God, I could get the FM of my dreams for a fraction of this... BUT... damn, damn, damn, life used to be so easy......

Sounds like you know which one you really want. pretty cool when buried treasure from the class of 77 surfaces 77's are BRUTAL ! I'm just saying.
BTMN Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 :P HOLY!!!! I played that guitar at Knut Koupee back in the day. I also am lucky enough to own the guitar 3 serial numbers before it. :P MAN!!!! Somebody is gonna be a real happy camper with that. I almost feel like we need to enlighten him about the HFC/Minneapolis thing and talk him into joining us and keeping that sweetie. That is a '79 not a '77.
specialk Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Ya, but this isn't... F'ing nice, dude! What exactly is it?
BTMN Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Might be "me'" but not on my wallet. More like Dr. Fung or some other DEEEEP pocketed fella. One on the left is the '77 and the one on the right is the '79 3 numbers before the one for sale. It had Grovers on it originally and the previous owner had them changed to Schallers. Life IS Good! MAN!!! That has a great top on it and I LOVE the Minnesota weather checking!!! WESTON!!!!!!!
specialk Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 One on the left is the '77 and the one on the right is the '79 3 numbers before the one for sale. Life IS Good! Thanks for the Hamer history lesson, Gene! I had no idea Hamer had Crowns as far back as '77! I know they got rid of 'em recently, but I didn't know when they started. Gorgeous Standards, bro! sk
acb Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Looks okay to me. By that number (into the #0190s)...This one's a 79... That is a '79 not a '77.uhhhh yeah, now i see -- the pic of the serial # looked different to me.yes, then it must be a 79, not a 77.still pretty damn cool.

Gorgeous Standards, bro! sk Hamer started using crowns in 1975. Serial #0005 had crowns. Of course if you count Jol's Flying Vee bass, that one was from 1973.
ScubaMarket Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Welcome aboard! They stopped adding that by the late '70s, but it was just a Gibson LP Standard part/Dimarzio part anyway. Pretty easy to put on there! Thanks! Here's my 08. Hopefully the one on ebay will join it This is a cool site! You guys know your Hamers

This is the picture from the shop I bought mine from. I bought mine last month from CalscustomAX Theyre Real nice folks. I liked they way this one had the binding around the headstock , body and neck. I also liked the look of the victory inlays. She plays silky smooth and is a USA made unit. I had been looking for older Hamers standards for a while. I couldnt stand to wait so i bought this one that i will keep because its my first hamer. I lusted after the old explorers back when I was 16-17 years old after watching Molly hatchet, blackfoot etc. etc play. Now i will probably have to pay ten times what they worth then. Oh well, the stock market sucks right now and the hamers are a much better investment than the market. Its nice too see a forum for folks with the same sickness..LOL Thanks
bubs_42 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Ya, but this isn't... F'ing nice, dude! What exactly is it? This is the one I just purchased from RacerX.. The neck is the Biggest Hamer Neck i've had my hands on. It sounds like Pure Thunder ! Rio Grande pups and a repaired Headstock. Still kills ! There is a Standard out there with a neck like this out there somewhere.. It'll be mine one day.
specialk Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 That Standard is holding steady at $2,716. Three days to go.... As much as I admire it, I am not in the bidding. If anyone here is, good luck to you! It's sharp.

I lucked out with a BIN for $1700.00 on mine. #221 Love it.. It doesn't get out much if I go for a Standard its the "91" that gets the time. I'll give you $1700 + $350...
BTMN Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I still think we should talk him out of selling it and then he can bring it to the Minneapolis Jam in April. :P :D
ScubaMarket Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Wow its a 79?? Its a sign! Thats the year i first got laid!! I'm the high bidder still. However, the shows FAR from over. Hopefully, it doesnt get too nuts. If it does maybe yall can chip in and I'll bnring it to Mineapolis. I cant believe the dude doesnt even have the fkg case for such a nice standard. Hell i would have the damn thing in one of those lighted boxes you see in the hard rock cafe. Yep i got it bad. Oh well, I aint selling the Boat, Harley or living the rest of life on the couch to buy it. Whats the highest price you guys have seen on a 4 digit standard?

If I ever sell the 79 and the 91 Will sell as a set as, as there is a story that goes with them. I still think we should talk him out of selling it and then he can bring it to the Minneapolis Jam in April. :P Let him sell. It going to be interesting. Just don't watch untill the last 30 seconds. It will go up for sure.
specialk Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 That Standard is holding steady at $2,716. Three days to go.... $3,501 with two days left....
