Hamer95USA Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Hello Hamer Fan Club members, My friend is selling a Hamer USA Prototype. This one is the early pre-Steve Stevens style without the signature on the headstock. Here are a few pictures of it: The guitar has most of its original hardware including the Floyd Rose tremolo bar, case keys and the original Dimarzio guitar pickup. Their is a Seymour Duncan guitar pickup in the bridge position of the guitar. The rear tremolo cover plate is a black plastic cover (It's original, thanks BCR Greg). OHSC It has a few nicks and scratches. Here are some pictures of it. Hopefully they'll show some of the wear from its previous owners: The Prototype SS was an all-new design (in collaboration with Steve Stevens, then playing with Billy Idol) which owed little to the original Prototype, with a symetrical double cutaway body and headstock design much the same as the revamped Phantom guitars. The scratchplate was lost as was the triple coil mounting for the pickups. The now familiar bridge humbucker and two single coils were controlled the same way as for the Phantom A5 and the soon-to-be ubiquitous Floyd Rose was fitted to all but a very few guitars. Once a deal was agreed with Stevens in 1984 the model became a fully fledged signature model, the Steve Stevens (complete with signature logo), and the name Prototype was dropped. This guitar is currently for sale at: Aantone's Music 36601 Newark Blvd. #11 Newark, California 94560 USA Store Hours: M-F 12:00 - 7:00 PM Sat 12:00 - 6:00 PM Sun Closed (510) 795-9170 aantones@pacbell.net The price is $800.00 Ask for Tony!!!
