Montelovesco Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Stumbled into this a few minutes ago.http://www.ebay.de/itm/Hamer-special-made-in-USA-/121392222596?pt=Gitarren&hash=item1c438a5184Seller says all original (but no paypal). No affiliation, but if you need someone to jump in just let me know.
Andrew Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Could well be original. Or not.Where did I read that John Hamer (Paul's brother) did the simpler graphics in 81? Anything that could be achieved with masking tape and usually black and white.
DaveL Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 not as cool as some of the other ones I've seen, I think it's original, they certainly did a few clunkers(graphics wise) in this series. the headstock finish, serial #, and dings. to me look just like the oneI owned.
mc2 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I vote original. kinda like it. Some of the other 81 graphic Specials make my eyes hurt and give me a headache.
BTMN Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Looks like a soundwave a lttle. I like it. You should snag it Montelovesco.
Montelovesco Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Looks like a soundwave a lttle. I like it. You should snag it Montelovesco.Thanks BTMN, that's exactly what I need: Someone who talks me into another guitar when I just got one coming and when I think about thinning the herd for compensation ... :-DSeriously: I sold my 1983 Special early this year and I am thinking of selling the 1981 darkburst Special Murkat did for me, too. Like the sound, but don't get along with the neck.But if anyone here wants that guitar I will gladly jump in and send the thing to you (shipping is around 100$)...
tomteriffic Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 The comma for the price is in a bit of an odd spot. What is that actually? On the website it looks like 44,50 That's a nice graphic Special. there's a member up in Canada who has the better part of the N. American market cornered on the things. I liked the one I had, I like this better.
ghamerinfrance Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I play for the fun and being in Europe....if this sells for 200 USD even if no real need...or I let you play Daniel and come back at the end of the year for the Vanguard
ghamerinfrance Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 And what about your son preference ? Not too soon, i am not ready
Montelovesco Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Son is okay with this. It is a questions of days... So you better be ready, because that Vangaurd is made for you :-) (I heard it at the European meeting). I will even include two PU sets...
Never2Late Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I LOVE my Vanguard, but I always thought the graphic Specials were Uber-KOOL.....I think a well-rounded Hamer fan should have both....Where are we at, price-wise on the above Special?
ghamerinfrance Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Would love but personal changes in personal life may influence this...wait and see (hope not too long)
Disturber Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Sold for a very reasonable price I must say, my dear Watson.
