Unexpected Hamer sighting - Miami Vice

Last night I was watching the DVD set of the first season of Miami Vice (the greatest television series ever made, BTW) episode 10. "Give a Little, Take a Little".

Abut three minutes in, the scene shifts to the always-flying high informant "Noogie" fondling a pearl white snakehead Blitz. Unfortunately, the guitar is shown upside-down and backwards for most of the shot, but eventually he flips it over.

Does any other guitar say "1984" as loudly as the Blitz?

Nice, I've been thinking about breaking out my pastel colored suit with t-shirt, no socks, capezio shoes, wayfarer sunglasses and 5-o'clock shadow.

BRB, I have to feed my pet alligator.

Oddly enough, I saw a Hamer flashing briefly, but often on VH1 Classics last night in a place I wouldn't have expected it. COuldn't tell the model but it looked like a Chap/Cali bolt style headstock in a PIL video. Most of the vid shows the other guys in the band, particularly John Lydon and the bass player (w/a headless Steinberger) and the drummer. Pretty stupid tune, something about it being his land and he's a warrior and all that.

LONG way from the Pistols, Johnny.

Now if that Blitz had been Fuschia Pearl it really would have screamed "80s"!!

I never noticed that one, but I do have a pic of Jol with a custom Vector from (I think) the '85 NAMM show and he's sporting a white jacket, pants and striped T-shirt.

Best episode was with Ted Nugent as a double crossing drug dealer robbing murderer. ;) Every now and then they really were able to put a good music soundtrack to reflect the episode's action and feel.

I spotted a Hamer Special I believe that was being played by RL Burnside's guitar player Kenny Brown in the You See Me Laughin' documentary. RL had some great music.
