FS: 1993 Hamer Special


Recommended Posts

1993 Hamer USA Special, built in Arlington Heights, IL.

Cherry Transparent finish, this is a fine example of the Special with a few nice upgrades:

• Seymour Duncan P-90 pickups upgraded to Fralin P-90’s (original pickups NOT included)

• Stock bridge and tailpiece upgraded to TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece (originals ARE included).

Guitar is in excellent condition, no signs of Hameritis at the neck joint but some slight finish lifting on on the underside of the neck where the fingerboard joins the neck. Very minor, does not affect playability.

Original frets in excellent condition, still plenty of life in them, no divots.

One small indentation on the top near the bridge, tried to show it in the pictures.

Some finish swirling as to be expected on a 25-year old guitar.

Original hardshell case is in good condition, all latches work.

Not interested in any trades, need to thin the collection. $950 shipped in the CONUS.

NICE!!!! If only it wasn't cherry red....  Not that I don't like it, but I've already got a 96 in that color... with Fralin pickups. Also got a 93, in Candy Apple Red.

Good luck with the sale! That will make someone very happy!

Could this be in the realm of the 'thicker-neck' Hamers, a departure from the Sunburst-ATs of the same era?

Not all of the 1993s were think. My 93 studio is really nice, and the serial number is only 51 off from my Special.

Did did you measure without the strings on, or with the strings?

I'll try to take my guitar into work to measure it tomorrow.

I’ve got 2 93 Specials, neither has a skinny neck. One is loaded w minibuckers and the other has humbuckers. Both are great guitars!!! If you don’t have one you need one!!! Maybe this one :)
