Looking for Hamer Blitz (Explorer) Guitar

[Dychotomy]

I used to have a killer black and silver checkered Blitz back in the day. In fact, I bought mine new from Paul at a Hamer event at Prosound in Colorado Springs. I sold it in Texas when I joined the military and now I am looking to buy one for mostly nostalgic purposes. If available, I am really looking for one that is black and silver checkered. But I will take just about anything as long as it is in good shape and not been repaired or beat to death.

If anyone has a Blitz they are looking to sell or even better, the black and silver checkered Blitz I mentioned, please let me know. I saw the overpriced one on eBay for almost $1500 which is crazy. I just missed out on one at JC Guitars for $700, which is around what I am willing to pay.

Regards,

Steve

Here is a picture of the Blitz I am talking about.

Please let me know if you know where it is and if it can be made available for sale.

Hamer probably wont make those, but it is easy to find a Blitz at a good price. "Stike" on this board can refinish it for you just like that.

Check this forum. There had been some available recently. Maybe one of them is still waiting for you.

Here's a real nice looking one.

I thought the one from lhrocker was still available. But, he is on pending payment.

The one from CL was commented by you already.

I have this one, in a tasty red and black zulu(?) aka Darth Maul finish.

It has a couple hours of play on new jumbo frets, a new Schaller Floyd Rose trem - the top quality heavy cast baseplate version, New DiMarzio X2N pickups and mostly new plastic. I essentially replaced all of the worn parts. I have and will include the original trem, pickups and the plastic parts that survived. The finish has some nicks and chips, but no structural damage or repairs. Sounds great, plays great, looks great and has the OHSC with lots of RAWK stickers and stencils. Sorry about the bad photo. Best of all, it has the explorer/hockey stick headstock.

I can take more photos and give you a complete description if you are interested.

I'm looking for $850 + shipping, add 3% for PayPal.
