TheMTJ Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hey all, I've got a guitar on Reverb right now and a Hamer loyalist sent me a message and encouraged me to show it off here. I don't know a ton about it but it plays great and sounds amazing. I've seen these go for a few different prices, I'm asking $1,200 plus shipping (estimated 35 for the continental US). I've seen one sell for less and a few asking quite a bit more so I think it is a fair price. I'm willing to do local deals in Cincinnati, Ohio or I can ship to anywhere within reason. Let me know if you're interested or if there is a better place to sell! https://reverb.com/item/17377922-hamer-usa-special-tv-yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjamiam Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi and welcome! I don't know of a better place to sell Hamers, but all the usual laws of economics apply here just like anywhere else. Is that gold hardware? I haven't seen one with that before that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelicious Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The TV Yellow looks pretty slick with gold hardware. I've got its twin aside from the hardware. Great guitars... everything you need, nothing you don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMTJ Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Mrjamiam - it is gold hardware, I'm not the original owner so someone may have upgraded but it would seem like an odd choice. I haven't seen it on other guitars either, not sure what to conclude! I'm not a fan of the TV yellow but I get so many compliments on it that I feel like I'm definitely in the minority.

cmatthes Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The upgrade to Gold Hardware was an available option back then. I think it added between $50-$100 to the selling price, depending on discounts. One way to tell would be if the back of the Schaller tuners has a Hamer logo...

TheMTJ Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 This group is awesome, thanks for the tip on the tuners! They are the Hamer factory ones in gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Very nice guitar. To me the price seems fair. Gabe😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMTJ Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Got an offer for $850, should I take it or does that seem a tad too low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really nice guitar, personally I wouldn't take anything less than $1,100 for it~ Unless I pm you with s $850 offer... then you must accept it 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMTJ Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thanks guys! I've only got 950 in it and am not looking to profit. I countered with 1000. If he take sit I think we'll both get a good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelicious Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I got mine cheap, but it's "player grade"... which is a lovely euphemism for slightly beat up. Really beat up and you get to call it "reliced", as in, "no, all those dents make it more valuable! It's reliced!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I love the yellow. I've also been wondering about current pricing on these. They used to be cheap now asking prices on these (and other Hamers it seems) have gone way up. I've considered selling mine but I take it out of the case and fall back in love. GLWTS.
