BadgerDave Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 This is one of two that I've seen in 12 years on this board and the other had a headstock repair. All original, no issues other than some minor lacquer cracks. Original Ferrari Red finish, OHSC with a replaced handle. Medium to thin neck. Frets are in great shape. Plays and sounds great. $2,000.00 O.B.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I was the owner of the other one- the repaired headstock HH FB. Sold it to a gentleman in Tokyo. Awesome axes. Miss it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Question: How does it hang? Badly - i've got two and used to gig one of them. Look great but flop forward no matter where you put the strap button. Ooooh, a photo ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB0531 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 That and the black FB bass are just KILLER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDave Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Question: How does it hang?Hmmm. I guess there are differences between individual guitars. This isn't one that I play very often, but I didn't remember it having any tendency to "neck dive". I just checked it. The balance is actually very close to neutral. Using a narrow leather (not suede) strap, it stays in position with both hands off, regardless of whether I position the neck level with the floor or at an upward angle.

serial Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Never noticed neck dive on this one. It's actually a "Reverse Bird" in the books-predating the FB model designation. One of only two I've seen with the Hum/sing/sing combination and iirc, the only one with this control layout. Stupid rare and cool and BadgerDave is AWESOME to deal with.

Armitage Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I only ask because I had a Gibson Firebird with the strap button on the shoulder and it rocketed to the ground when you let go of it. And I've never seen a Hamer Firebird in real life, but that one is a world class beauty! Someone will be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregc Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I had a regular production Gibby that was neck heavy. I had a custom shop Gibby that hung perfectly. I sold em both eventually. I always hoped Hamer would build me one. Almost, at one point. I think I'm gonna get me another Gibby CS piece soon, in a custom color, and be done with it.??????????

BadgerDave Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 This one will be better than the Gibby CS model at about 1/3 of the price. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfbiv Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 That and the black FB bass are just KILLER! This one? I likes it too... The 'for sale' FB is pretty dang cool... If I were to stumble upon an FB guit, black on black with dots... i'd be very interested. Just to have a mate to my bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armitage Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I still think that's one of the coolest guitars, in the coolest colour, with the coolest pickup combo with a Floyd that I have ever seen. Period. << Dreamy face, not sarcastic face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin' I agree, it's just the pickup combo & trem is all wrong for my personal Bird. I can't believe it's not gone already.
