Dutchman Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don’t know if this was a mod or a custom order? Hoping someone may have some input. I can’t afford it right now but if it’s a custom order it should get inducted into the family!! I think GC is wrong on the year. It looks like a 93’ to me!! https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Hamer/Vintage-1983-1983-SPECIAL-Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar.gc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re thinkin it’s been butchered? I’ve never seen single coils (other than P90’s) or a bigsby on a Special. With the some what odd custom stuff Hamer did I just didn’t know. Maybe I should of titled it”What not to do to a Special” or “A Very Special Abomination” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it happened while it was being made or after the fact is anyone's guess. My point earlier was that at this point, it doesn't really matter.

cmatthes Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Butchered ‘93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The pickup config is Super Strat, but I wouldn't call it a Super Special. If they only put a Bigsby on it, it'd be interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 At leas it looks like they tried to do a good job. Nice lines on the pick guard, its the routes are good, I'd say it would be an interesting piece in the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hamer would not make a Special with a Bigsby. I asked if I could order one like that. Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningyen Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 A good candidate for a complete mod, strip and refin. The asking price is crazypants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana_V Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just in case anyone wondered what would happen if a Hamer Special and a Gibson S-1 had a baby (and added a Bigsby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
