End of marriage gear reduction! Pt 1. Price drop!

Hi everyone,

The recent end of my marriage has forced me into a smaller abode and thus the requirement that I gotta lighten the load.

I'll be releasing at least 5-10 Hamers into the wild and many other brands as well.  I'll keep updating as I pull them out of storage.

For now:

Two Phantoms, and a Prototype.

 Buyer pays actual Shipping via FedEx.  PP, in the contiguous States.  (Sorry Euro and Brit friends!)

The 1st Phantom (SOLD) is an '84 in a gunmetal grey (plz correct me) with original sustain block vibrato and  Hamerlock tuners.  There was a sticker on the back at some point which reveals how the finish has aged.  A few dings here and there, I'd be happy to send detailed pics for anyone who is interested.  OHSC included. SOLD

The 2nd Phantom (SOLD) is an '83 with original Kahler- love, hate or tolerate them, this is a good Kahler anyway.  Smooth and retains tuning well.  It doesn't seem to inhibit the tone dramatically as compared to #1 above.  Some finish checking overall and dings- again I have detailed pics, but I've reached the limit for the post.  Get your Andy Summers on!

The Prototype (SOLD) is an '84 with original Kahler as well.  There are a few scrapes on the top (hard to photograph, but look buffable). I'm not sure what this finish was called but it's very pleasing to the eye in person.  It has a little cowboy chord fret wear, but plays well at a very low action, if that's your thing.

Please PM me with questions/requests.  Thanks in advance!

Thanks much!  Best of luck in your downsizing efforts.  These were hard to consider letting go, but there's a couple more Phantoms I'm hanging onto... for now.

 
Good luck with the sale, Eli, and good luck with your transition out of marriage. Lean on your friends here if you need to.

 
ARRGH! I've been wanting to get my hands on a Phantom at a good price forever to see if I liked them, and TWO come up when I'm beyond broke! 😭

GLWTS (dammit)

 
That divorce thing is beyond sucks. The word "sucks" doesn't do justice. But all of us who have been thru it know you will get thru it.  a few years from now you'll say to yourself "man, i wish I had done this sooner."  This is dedicated to Eli and all of us who at one time or another became "Born Again Bachelors" 

  • Good bye is too good a word gal
  • so I'll just say fare thee well
  • I ain't sayin you treated me unkind
  • You coulda done better baby but I don't mind
  • You just kinda wasted my precious time
  • Lawd don't think twice its allright
  • (props to Bob Dylan)
  • Clapton owns a great song
  • Hit it Hal....

  • IMHO one of ECs best pieces of guitar work captured in a waaaaay long time, classic "call & answer" blues.  Hot as a blow torch solo.
  • watch the expession on Cropper's face at the end of the song.  He looks like he just wants to put down his guitar, bow and say "we're not worthy"
  • Best hijack of a Dylan tune since Jimi did All Along the Watchtower.  Hands down breath taking on the guitar work, great vocal performance, and a total makeover interpretation of a Dylan classic.  
  • Tribute to a great song.  It can be performed in several very different styles and hold up as a great song.
  • Then Clapton does a walk off home run strut, exit stage right.

I once responded to a chick who dumped me by writing the lyrics to "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" on a sheet of paper and putting it under one of the windshield wipers on her car, like a parking ticket. Afterward I was like....
