Drastion Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Looking to pick up a 80s Phantom with hardtail bridge. Preferably with a medium\chunky neck like on the 90s Eclipses. Also if someone has an extra old case for a A5 Phantom or knows what modern case would fit one that would be great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 They don't come up that often, but my 83 has a nice medium neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamStd Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Drastion, please write me at [email protected]. I think I can help you out- on the phantom front. Case front is a bit tougher, but I might also be able to help there too. Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drastion Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Giving this a bump. Was hoping to get it as a 40th birthday present for myself but I am still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Not exactly what you are looking for. But it is a hardtail and rather unique. "this was the last Phantom A5 made by Hamer." Sammy https://reverb.com/item/16465127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-generation, 3+3 h/s, mahogany necks: the Sustain-block trem. fitted ones have a chunky neck, the hardtail ones have a much smaller neck. True for the Blitz as well. Side by side, the difference is obvious. 1984 on, they are usually Kahlered, and the necks are no longer as chunky, and are switched to maple at some point in 84/85.

bubs_42 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My 83 is just about right, Sustainblock Bridge, nice medium neck, the nut width is also great. Hang in there you will find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drastion Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Thanks for the info Andrew remember that info was out there but for the life or me I couldn't remember where i read it from and I have been trying to remember where it was for a while now. Bubs definitely will hang in there. I think i remember fawning over that looked just like yours but the seller said the fretts were filed down and i had no way to get a refret done. If thats the same guitar I am really glad it happened to end up in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamStd Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 We like the Phantom over here and I don't discriminate either- floyd, kahler, sustain block trem, no trem, triplebucker or three singles, dots, crowns, LEDs, no markers, frets, no frets they is all good!!! [ Let me see if I can dig out some of the weirdo ones now. Enjoy Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 @HamStd lets not and say we did. LOL I have a crush on the red on in the lower left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamStd Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey Bubs, I have my eye on something special so everythings for sale and I don't mean $50K either (unless you want me to arrange Jessica Alba to deliver it to you personally or you want 60 phantoms delivered to your garage.....😀). Make me an offer I can't refuse. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMERMAN Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That red one with the black pickguard and a floyd rose is probably the coolest Phantom I have seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
