Both is the correct answer.

In my opinion, the TT is a superior instrument by every objective measure, but the subjective aspects are significant. Personally, I prefer the the 79-80 Sunbursts that I've played. Getting both to decide was the way to go. Glad that you could swing it. Dibs on whichever one you let go.

B&C! Because Sustain Blocks rule!

^This! :)

I think the sunburst, mainly because it's to me it's what I think of first when I think Hamer.

Also, I don't really know what a triple threat is :)

Certain people involved in recent debates. But I do not want to make this POLITICAL!

What do you think each one could sell for?

Based on recent sales, I'd say TTs are now in the $3,000 - $3,500 range.

Sunbursts vary a lot based on condition, originality, OHSC, etc., but a B&C version in very good condition, all original with case would be $2,000 - $2,500. More for one in a color other than sunburst or natural.

This meme illustrates the importance of the comma.

Punctuation matters, people!

LOL that mustache would imply an absence of comma, though.

He's probably wearing white New Balances too.

Variances are more pronounced on the early Sunbursts but you'll have a unique historic guitar if you get ahold of a good one. A good one could mean all original (or close), in nice shape without issues, and with a neck size you prefer. The necks differ from piece to piece with most being slim to medium. The medium large necks aren't that common and large is pretty rare.

I really like the Triple Threat run. I have owned only one but I'm sure they are super consistent, all with a killer rounded '59 neck. It's really cool but there are plenty of companies currently making a similar guitar.

I'd go with the Sunburst.

I should play such a Sunburst. Have not, yet. I HAVE owned three of the TTs. The last one is unlikely to ever leave my possession.

ETA....I just might direct that it be sent along with me when I go......Best of all the Hamers I have ever owned (IMHO).
