sixesandsevens Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Hi all,I'm looking for a Special, Artist, or possibly a T-62 to compliment a wraptail Studio. I would probably probably take a superstrat, duo tone, standard, or vector, but I doubt I'd find one in the same price range.I landed an 80's Special, so I'm now looking for a P90 Special, P90 Artist, or a T-62 in (almost) any condition.- A little beat up is preferred, as I'd love to save a few extra dollars.- A lot beat up is fine too, as saving more means more Hamers- I'd consider something that needs a structural repair- Bad or missing hardware is ok- Bad electronics are no problem- I'm not all that picky about colors - translucent, solid, sparkle, graphic, whatever...- I can probably tolerate just about any neck profile they've made- I can do with or without caseSo if you've got something that might fit the bill, lemme know!
rj2858 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I've got a '79 Sunburst that another member is considering, would you be interested if he decdes against it?It's something that I bought with the intention of restoring, but it starts right up and runs as it is.
sixesandsevens Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 That could be cool... Got any pics?
Ting Ho Dung Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Hey, no fair. Sunburst wasn't on his short list.
Never2Late Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I have a couple of Diablos available....http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/58101-trans-green-diablo-w-new-duncans-exc-case-and-all-candy/I also have a rather beat-up Diablo that I'd let-go for cheap as well. Natural finish, some dents/dings, autographed by Mark Durante of KMFDM...new pot and all hardware present. Can offer pics if interested.
sixesandsevens Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 @Never2Late - I PM'd you.Thanks for the offers I've had so far. I'm still looking, so feel free to send me a PM or post here.

The list of downgrades confuses me. Wouldn't the Appreciation Threads fulfill your desires? You'd save a ton of extra dollars after all.
sixesandsevens Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 The list of downgrades confuses me. When I bought my first Hamer, I put up a similar post... basically saying "the one you thought was unsellable? I might buy it" and I got a great deal on a guitar that was otherwise not getting posted. Since the FS section was pretty slow lately, and a lot of eBay sellers are asking a lot for what they've got, I figured I'd post a WTB to see what was waiting in the wings. Maybe next time I'll try a shorter post: "WTB: USA Hamer, playable preferred, under $1000. Set necks preferred, but not required." Wouldn't the Appreciation Threads fulfill your desires? You'd save a ton of extra dollars after all. If all I wanted to do was look... yes. That and the upcoming book would be perfect. For better AND for worse, no one but me keeps guitars at my place, so I do occasionally need to plunk down coin and own them if I want to play them.

sixesandsevens Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Still looking bump. I think I've replied to everyone so far. If you're waiting on me, send me a PM.
Carl.B Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I have a special for sale. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/58246-fs-1980-hamer-special/
sixesandsevens Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks Carl. I saw your FS listing, but at the moment I'm not looking for a special with a trem. Good luck with your sale.
sixesandsevens Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Bump. I landed an 80's Special, so I'm now looking for a P90 Special, P90 Artist, or a T-62 in (almost) any condition.Aside from the T-62, I'd prefer a hardtail of some sort.
sixesandsevens Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Bump. I'd also be interested in a Vintage S.
LucSulla Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Saw this and thought of your post. First one on the list - Dinged up P-90 Special for $599 at a GC.http://used.guitarcenter.com/usedgear/index.cfmJust seach for "Hamer Special," and it should pop up first.

First one on the list - Dinged up P-90 Special for $599 at a GC. http://used.guitarcenter.com/usedgear/index.cfm]http://used.guitarcenter.com/usedgear/index.cfm Just seach for "Hamer Special," and it should pop up first. Thanks! I appreciate the consideration. I called down there yesterday to confirm its a USA model with OSHC (it is), and to get the year. The guy at the shop wanted to talk about it so we did. He went over it in hand without my even asking. Said the neck was on the thin side (at least as thin as a 60s Gibson neck in his words) and has the volute. It's a 93 from the S/N. I've got no heartburn about the condition, but the price seems high based on what he described. At $400 or maybe even $499 I'd jump on it. Who knows... If tax time doesn't shake some Hamers loose from the grove, I may still. In the meantime, I noticed that the dot neck Studio P90 GT is back up on eBay... It bid to over $1100 last time. Still a bagain compred to the Studio GT P90 custom owned by Dweezl Zappa for $1950. I'd love a gold top and don't seem to care much for real Gibsons, so maybe it's time to spend a little extra for a non-beater.
LucSulla Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Watching that one too, lol. I am talking to a guy with a tobacco burst special in Chicago as well.
sixesandsevens Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 P90 Special on TGPThanks cynic. $650 might have had me with OHSC, but it's only with a gig bag.
LucSulla Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 That GT P-90 is soaring. I think it is beyond my interest, but I hope you snag it if you are still after it.
sixesandsevens Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 That GT P-90 is soaring. I think it is beyond my interest, but I hope you snag it if you are still after it. It's funny, I might have won it if I'd remembered to bid. I don't think I would have gone all the way to $1200, but I briefly considered a bid of $950. any interest in a Mirage?? Not at this time. I've been much more into hardtails lately. Thanks though!

I've been much more into hardtails lately. Thanks though! For what it's worth, my Mirage I feels rock solid with the trem' blocked. The 6-screw Wilkie and locking tuners didn't inspire my confidence (without any special set-up attention), so it's one of my 2 "hardtail" axes, functionally speaking.
