Camstone Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Simple enough question. Does anyone know if Hamer ever made the Eclipse in a Sunburst finish? Anyone here have one?
cmatthes Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Yes. I'll see if I can post a pic, but I've seen a couple. One pic was from a Japanese trade show that Tombo sent me 15 or so years ago.
stonge Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Yes. I bought a darkburst Eclipse from an HFCer in Canada a year or two back. I'll dig it out of the basement and photo it tomorrow if I get a chance.

JohnnyB Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 How about a lefty 12-string Eclipse in 'burst? Is that rare enough?
tomteriffic Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Saw one at a local bricks and mortar eons ago. They do exist.
stonge Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 just a little blurry - didn't look that bad on the phone lol. It's like all those slightly unfocused photos of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster...
Camstone Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 Thanks Stonge! Question answered. Now sell it to me..........please? Dibs?

The previous owner (who reluctantly sold it to me to cover home repairs - flooded basement) has first option, but you are next in line if it decides to wander away from Casa des Stonge. It's a 96, but the neck is only a medium. I wish I could find one with a 1" U-neck like a 52 tele reissue or my Shishkov (which is like a 2x4 with the edges rounded which is a great thing imho). I likes 'em chunky lol.

scottcald Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Man, I think that's the best finish for that guitar.
tomteriffic Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I stumbled across this while looking for something else. I dig the no-inlay fingerboard.
