lang Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Do people actually play $9000 guitars? Maybe it's just me, but I know if I dropped that kind of coin on a guitar, I'd probably be reluctant to play it. I don't begrudge the man for trying to maximize what he can get, but it kind of breaks my heart to think that price will make that guitar too valuable to get played. https://reverb.com/item/13401366-1977-hamer-sunburst-0016-long-headstock-bound-and-crowned-w-ohsc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't always happen, but I do try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizanski Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, people play 'em. That's one amazing Sunburst, though. Not $9,000 Amazing, but definitely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM OF HAMER Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wow! Love this one! How could you not? The price...................its quite out of hand based on what the current market will bear for a guitar like that. There was a "PROTOTYPE" Hamer Sunburst that was being sold out of the Netherlands..................and I'm not privy as to what it sold for but I don't believe it was in this ballpark money wise. As far as gigging with high $$$$ "Vintage" guitars....................like him or not JB has quite a rack he tours with........................and that's not all of them. Regarding this Hamer, remember this one?http://s924.photobucket.com/user/Dutchbopper/slideshow/Hamer Sunburst Prototype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM OF HAMER Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 This is a older "Rig" rundown JOE has moved some of these "BURSTS" along for other Bursts and guitars and other things but he has got a ton of gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually two different models of tuners on it currently And then there's one of my Top 10 pet peeves. If you're going to ask more than twice what a guitar is worth, you'd better have all of your shit perfect, and this one, in a word, "ain't."

Sharp eyes KIZ!............................I caught the tuner holes [And that extra strap button hole that should not be there] but not that fact that there ARE 2 different sets of "GROVERS" on the guitar.

More is more. Don't know if Jazzermans earlier 1977 Sunburst prototype for the Namm show is still for sale. Priced about the same: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite sure there is a repaint since the wood grain leading from the neck into the head does not naturally fade out on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Do people actually play $9000 guitars? Maybe it's just me, but I know if I dropped that kind of coin on a guitar, I'd probably be reluctant to play it". Let me answer the question with a question.....How many of you have a trophy wife and never take her out to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prototype-fan Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 This guy must really NOT want to sell this guitar. When you look at his Reverb.com store, most of his items seem pretty reasonably priced, but there are a good number that have wishful thinking pricing.

He's clearly going through a bitter divorce, and doing his best to make this as painful as possible for his wife and her lawyer...God Bless him.
