carfish7 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Relive the golden days of Hamer collecting by buying this splendid 1992 USA Hamer Diablo for 350 bucks American. This is a stripped-down rock machine featuring a pair of 'buckers on a 3-way, and a Floyd Rose trem jobbie. It has 3 dings; 2 to the body and one on the reverse headstock, otherwise it is super clean. The color is great as is the wood. A really nicely built guitar with a perfectly sized neck - do not dismiss this as strictly a shredder! This guitar is 100% functional but would need a new trem baseplate to be 100% adjustable. The "B" saddle stop screw hole in front of the one it is currently in is stripped, but it is intonated with "10's" jumped back a hole. The "D" saddle stopscrew stripped and was swapped for a big 'ol brass number that has held it perfectly as long as I have owned it. It all works great, but there is some history of ham-fistedness leading to destruction that a buyer needs to be aware of. No case. The stock Duncans could be untaped and tapped with a pull-pot, but I never did. It plays great and is very resonant. I hate Floyds, and the switch is in a bad place for me. $350 plus actual shipping and payment must be a postal money order because Paypal can kiss my grits and burn in hell. More pics here. http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/lorwinerz/Diablo/ Refs available. Carfish7 is my Ebay handle as well, and I have done several deals here on the board. "Coop" Diablo, Loudred, and Exploud sticker easily removed, but why would you? I'm moving this to get something vintage, so help a G.A.S.S. ing brother out. I'm 99.7% sure Silentman once owned this, and maybe more of you. Lets keep it in the family at a time-honored price, and help me save a vintage one from the Evil Empire. Thanks, guys. CJ 612-703-3990
