Dave Scepter Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Pricey but Love the color... 1981 Hamer Special Blue https://applink.reverb.com/item/16062488-1981-hamer-special-blue
Boomerang~Junkie Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Hot damn, if that Special just plays HALF as good as it looks, I might try to make a move on it - broke ass or not. Pricey yes, but that Hamer is as cool as it gets. Now I've got to go do some GAS math!
cmatthes Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 That would take the honor for most expensive Special sold, I'd think!
DBraz Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 ...and if you don’t like blue merely leave it by the window for a few years.
Dave Scepter Posted October 23, 2018 Author Posted October 23, 2018 Or for 1/2 that you can have a Trixter owned Special... Look at this on eBayhttps://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263954658841

Steve Haynie Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 If that blue Special is a one-off it is still one of many-many "rare" Hamers with unique features. However, there are possibly more factory checkerboard finish Specials than light blue ones. Blue is not as desirable as checkerboard, though.
bruce919 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Wasn't the Special given to John Lennon by Rick a Light blue color?
G Man Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Do want, it would go perfectly with my blue blitz.

I would take that blue Special over a checkerboard one any day. This probably puts me in the minority, but if it's not a Standard, I'm not really into the whole checkerboard thing.

Drew816 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Cool axe but phew! And seller is 'banned' from HFC, that can't be a good sign!

I bought my blue Studio from Rock N Roll Vintage a couple of years ago. Real scumbag! Don't anybody even call them! These guys really suck and ship bad and all that. There. That ought'a hold you off until the price drops and I can get them to accept my reasonable offer.

Cary Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Meh... Needs a matching headstock. And a serial number that makes you think of Rush. And to have been previously owned by a famous author.

Boomerang~Junkie Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I think there is a consensus that $2K is a bit "optimistic" here. Anyone have a suggestion for a fair price on this beast? My guess is that the ceiling is around $1400 assuming it has the factory HSC that is nice. Opinions?
