Eli Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I know it's not a Hamer, but I thought it might find a new home here. Sold on Reverb, Overall, it's in very good condition, with a little wear on the gold in the usual places. A couple of marks (not through the finish) at the neck where it must have hung on a wall guitar hanger at some point. Could consider a trade for the right 335/345. https://reverb.com/item/32927666-gibson-howard-roberts-fusion-iii-1997-black-beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tailpiece is interesting, because you can individually adjust the break angle for each string behind the bridge with the fine tuners on it.

Are you in a desperate hurry to sell it? The dollar rate sucks a big one at the moment. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge rush, but since gigs have evaporated, generating income in one way or another is a good idea right now. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugby1970 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 A very elegant guitar. GLWTS. I'd offer to trade but I'm downsizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velorush Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I've had mine (burst) since '94 - amazingly versatile guitars - great for rock, blues, country, etc., and a set of flatwounds transforms these into killer (feedback-free) jazz guitars. The necks are Gibson's (perfect) '59 carve. That and the ebony fretboard make them play so easily it fees like cheating. I think the fingers tailpiece is vastly misunderstood: it's not meant to be used for fine tuning (like a TP-6), rather, it is purposed for adjusting the tension of each string (and it works!). These tailpieces are expensive, and found on Gibson's higher-end jazz boxes (LeGrand, Lee Ritenour L5, some Johnny Smith models, etc.) Really would prefer the black finish on this one over the burst I have. My opinion (after a quarter century), YMMV. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
