Guitarwill Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I have this 1981 Hamer guitar.. Serial number 1 3228.... From what information I can find, looks like there was around 20 or so made.. I am considering selling it if anyone is interested.. Below is the information that I have been able to find out so far: A rare variant of the Prototype, known in Hamer records as the Two Coil (see left), was produced exclusively for the German market in 1981. These guitars have a flame-top (sometimes bound) and two scratchplate mounted single-coil pickups.http://www.buddlejagarden.co.uk/hamer/phant.htmhttp://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/2790-help-unknown-1981-hamer/http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/12662-rare-bird-1981-hamer-sunburst-two-coil/http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/16699-hamer-two-coil-1981/

Guitarwill Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I would agree but I didn't want to change the originality of the guitar. It plays amazing
kizanski Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Don't mind that knucklehead.That guitar is fucking AmAzing!
oldskoolrulz Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Too freakin' cool! Guitarwill, what would you rate the condition on 1-10 scale? Are the frets in good condition? Any issues at all?
Guitarwill Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I would rate it prob an 8 I guess.. There are a couple tiny chips of paint off on head and one of the knobs is off and missing. Other than that it plays amazing.. There are no other issues with it at all. Stays in tune always and is solid. The middle pickup feels weird to me in the location. But it's all original so I'm not complaining. I really hate to get rid of it, but my car caught fire and is totaled so I need money to get another car.. I feel like I'm playing a les Paul when I play it. The tone is great.
Guitarwill Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I bought this guitar from someone I met here in texas. Him and his family were from Germany and he got it from his father that got it there. I got it from him for $150 about 15 years ago cause he needed drug money..

Grandturk Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Great looker. Shame they made these with pickguards. Would look great without
BlueJer Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Wow. $150!!!That thing is gorgeous...would scoop it in a minute if I had the funds...
Guitarwill Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah I know.. I couldn't pass it up when I saw it.. I didn't know anything about it at the time when I bought it, but I knew it was at least worth picking up for that price.. Thanks!!
Guitarwill Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I wish ebay and paypal didn't charge crazy fees, so I could lower the price some.. I guess accepting money order for it might be best..
Guitarwill Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 I have taken more pics and updated my craigslist post with the pictures that you can view here:http://houston.craigslist.org/msg/5279298516.htmlI realized when cleaning the guitar up that there are a few more imperfections that feel I should disclose since I have inspected it closer.. I guess I never really paid much attention.. Anyways you can view them on my post. Still a great guitar, but would hate to sell it to someone without disclosing every detail that I know of

Guitarwill Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 It actually is 1 3228... The pic may look like a 6 but I can assure u it is an 8, not that it makes that much of a difference anyways.. Thanks for the info tho on the amount made.. Where did u get that info from?
