RacerX Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Hi Gang, Here's a one of a kind Sunburst form 1980! The Loop is the major rock station in the Chicagoland area and in 1980 this was the grand prize for a "Air Guitar" contest. I guess the lucky winner decided to stick with his/her current "air" axe and fliped this to GC back in the day. I got it a few years back from the guy who saved it from the endless hack fest of GC. The "LOOP" logo on the back is hand painted and under the final clearcoat, the letters are all under the finish too. The names on the neck are some of the on-air DJ, sports, weather crew from the Loop back then. A sharp eye will notice the font is the same as Hamer used on a couple of Rick's 1-off guitars, check out the "Guitars of the Stars" book... The guitar is in good condition, has been played but not abused. The nut was changed to brass loooog ago, pickups and parts are original. Neck is medium with a nice round feel at the cowboy chord area, it tapers slightly thinner then tapers out normaly to the body. It sounds strange to explain and it's kind of subtle but actually I've seen a lot of sunbursts and specials from this era with this profile. The guitar plays well, sounds great, it's not heavy (8.65). Comes with the original Hamer red lined case that has a replacement handle and a stiff hinge but works just fine. If you always wanted to add a REAL factory 1-off to your hamer collection here is your chance. Asking $sold/shipped ups gnd cont.US. I'm trying to reduce my collection a little so I'm really not looking for trades right now... Thanks for looking! Mark.
HamStd Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Now this is really a 1 of 1 guitars made in this finish. Talk about a unique Black/white graphic sunburst this is something you aren't going to see everyday. I know my "unique" hamers.RacerX is aces to deal with too!!!!Peter
