Hamerphite Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I got this here on the forum from Serial Steve and am now trying to pare down my guitar collection in preparation of moving into a smaller apartment in the fall. This is such a lovely and rare Hamer, but I can't keep them all. Pretty close to mint, nice neck - not super flat, but has some beef to it. Pups sound great. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:L:LCA:US:1123

jerseydrew Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I've never heard of a "Sportomatic". Can somebody educate me on this?
bubs_42 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I've never heard of a "Sportomatic". Can somebody educate me on this? Nope, we all don't know what we are looking at... Seriously, I would need refreshed on the whole story myself.
Submariner85 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 A serious one of a kind. Should bring in some nice cash.
murkat Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 wow. very cool. first for me. that is slyknsyk. hate red thou.
veatch Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Too bad it ain't the Eloctroglide... I'm bidding on this one, but i'm pretty dern sure i won't get it...
serial Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 It's a stupid rare carved top Sunburst from 1984. Really nice top, really clean. Other than the two Electragides and a half dozen or so others, they didn't make these. I don't know the exact significance of "Sportomatic", but it's my understanding that it's the only one.
specialk Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Wow. This one could wind up selling for some serious scratch....
bmenary Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Bump for Hamerphite- Great guy to deal with- cool guitar man- I bet it ROCKS!!!!!

Hamerphite Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 The first pic is his, the rest are mine. I bought the guitar from Steve.
bizzwriter Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The first pic is his, the rest are mine. I bought the guitar from Steve.p.s. This is by far the best-photographed eBay ad I've ever seen -- GREAT job! This Sportomatic is awesome, but so is the TV!
Hamerphite Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 p.s. This is by far the best-photographed eBay ad I've ever seen -- GREAT job! This Sportomatic is awesome, but so is the TV!Wow thanks. I've got a cheapo camera from a few years ago but it takes good pics. Best pics I get are when the sky is overcast. I'm really suprised no one's hitting the buy-it-now on my TV Model. Those were 20k+ 2 years ago. I think my price was good... but guy's just aren't spending that kind of dough on a guitar right now. I did get one offer at 11k, maybe that's what they're worth now
Hamerphite Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 Jeez, one of you mooks coulda bid more than $1251! This thing went cheap
billywade Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 That did go for a lot less than I thought it would. Great looking axe. Hope someone gets a lot of enjoyment from it. Hamer bargain of the week?
atquinn Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Unfortunately, when it comes to selling anything it's kind of like the watch scene in Trading Places, especially in this economy.-Austin
