tomteriffic Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 PRICE DROP! $850 Cash, $875 PayPal Ergo, I'm offering up my beloved '79 Sunburst. This one has been there and back, lots of character, dings and blips, but no breaks and a great player. Rio BBQ bucker in the bridge, original inside the Hamer HSC (don't know if the case is original, but it looks it). HFC good buddy price: $850 + ship, CONUS only, PayPal OK, no trades. NOTE! The neck joint wierdness is finish cracks ONLY. I've been assured of this by knowledgeable experts as well as the previous owner. Secret magic mojo/vibe knob that goes to '11' not included unless you twist my arm just right. Those that I've dealt with here will tell you what a PITA I am to deal with..... Pix:
jujisque Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I HATE BEING POOR!!!!!. . . . I guess I'll get back to my studying and tell myself that someday I'll have the cash for these kinds of things.
DEMENTED Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Tom, if I can sell my Special FM I want to buy this. I should know by mid-week. We'll see if this baby is still around then.
currypowder Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Man, if I hadn't just bought Silent's 03 sutain block special 4 days ago, I'd be all over this. Good luck!Gged
tomteriffic Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 Tom, if I can sell my Special FM I want to buy this. I should know by mid-week. We'll see if this baby is still around then. My Special FM was my first Hamer. I'm not sure if I could part with it. For your sake, I hope it's still here, you'll need a worthy replacement. For my sake, well, we'll see huh?
Rechts Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Tom, are you including the original bridge DiMarzio in this deal?By the way, the case is not original.
Turdus Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Ahhh.. I thought that one looked familiar.... I've held it in my hands via an excursion, with ER, from VA to MD, with the Geetar on route to PA.At the time, the case was a Peavey, was it not Ed?
tomteriffic Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 Shameless bump for the weekend crowd. Now with real glycerine vibrofoam and fuel injection!
tomteriffic Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 Mid week bump. Can't believe nobody wants a Sunburst with (ahem) character
kenjones Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 I've bought from Tom before and he's a great guy to do business with. Buy with confidence. A very honest seller and a FAST shipper.
Guest galejt Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Man. If that 79 is anything like the 78 I just picked up, all I can say at this point in our relationship is "Make me a chikkin' sammich Beatch!" Woo Hoo! Good wood is old wood (impartially speaking that is)! Oh and uh...bumpididdly nebber.

Hey Tom, Special FM did not sell... oh well. Was yours one of the ones (the more reasonably priced one) on The Bay? I think I have its twin. Shameless self-serving bump for the 'Tomorrow Is Payday' crowd.
tomteriffic Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 Shameless self-serving bump. C'mon! Make me a reasonable offer!
mutronboy Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Man, I always wanted a Sunburst ever since the first Guitar Player ads...I haven't seen one in Australia for at least 20 years..I'd be up for at least AU$1700-$1800 to get it hereAnyway, if I get lucky I'll let you know....Good luck, TomPeace to all

Good wood is old wood (impartially speaking that is)! Oh and uh...bumpididdly nebber. Okay. I'll translate the above. After playing my 78 for a couple weeks now, I am preparing to dump all my other guitars of the same flavor. Hamer's old fiddles are just that nice. Something about 37 year old wood (still hope for you Kiz) that just sings. Forget the cosmetics. This one is in nicer shape than mine and I don't even notice it. Maybe that's why my wife still looks the same to me as the day I married her 23 years ago. When it's really good, it's REALLY good. Buy this. Now.
tomteriffic Posted November 11, 2005 Author Posted November 11, 2005 Thanks for the bumpage, Jim.Price dropped so Drew can sell his. It's in better shape than mine, same pickup configuration. See the top of the thread.
mutronboy Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Hoy Tom,Just wondering about the neck...is it wide/skinny like a '61 Gibbo ?(I don't like 'em too clubby...I had a '61 SG/Les Paul that I lost...I like that feel)The only Hamers I've really played are some I bought for resale(a matching pair of black Vector's and a pink Scarab)I played my friend's Prototype a fair bit, tooAs long as they've got a bit of nut width I'm usually happy...the Prototype seemed wide enoughCheers

Thicker than a '92 Special, but by no means a '58 baseball bat carve. Of course, I've no idea how you guys in OZ play them once you get 'em. They're upside down and backwards to you aren't they?
mutronboy Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Well, we hold the guitars the regular way....but if we want any chance of airplay in the Northern Hemisphere we have to learn to play our licks backwards...otherwise they come out all funny on the US airwavesWe also have to plug our guitar cords into the amp BEFORE we stick 'em in the guitar...if ya do it the wrong way 'round it can cause yer pants to fall down
tomteriffic Posted November 17, 2005 Author Posted November 17, 2005 One more bump for the 'Payday is tomorrow' crowd. Package deals with the Swamp King considered.
silentman Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 I can't believe this hasn't sold! I'd love to have a sunburst but I'm tapped out here. This is one that you can buy and not worry about dings, etc... NO BRAINER!
