burningyen Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Looks like dark blue without a maple top, not sure I've ever seen that before: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/In-Store-Vintage/Vintage-Vintage-1994-Hamer-Usa-Special-Midnight-Blue-Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar-116391883.gc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Wow and I hear special prices are on the rise. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velorush Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Their ads frustrate me greatly. Likely a very nice guitar, but who can tell? Is the 'internet thing' something the salespeople are forced to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black magic Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That`s really tempting. I`ve owned a few Special HB`s and regret selling my 1994 in trans red. I really like the Blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black magic Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I agree as well. Their ads suck!! Need more details and if it comes with the Hamer case. I love Special FM`s and HB`s. I`ve owned a bunch of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Vintage to GC means 3 day return period not 45 days. 25 yrs or older last I researched the policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerteddybear Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 San Marcos is one of the two GCs in San Diego county (the other is in La Mesa). Both are pretty decent locations; normal assholes as opposed to giant ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Ya'll know there's a REALLY PRETTY one right here https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/89164-96-hamer-fm-special-trans-blue-price-drop/, Don't ya? It's 2 years newer. You don't have to worry about the condition. And there is a hard shell case to ship it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More points for fewer words. The super frustrating part is that all the stores participate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a decent description. Between photos and description, it’s like they don’t want to sell the item. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either guitar is truly dying or it’s true what people say about no one liking blue guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Im not sure we should expect too much with gc clerks. They’re trying to hustle and make commissions. If they spend all their time shooting pics out back and the item sells thru the site, they get squat. Remember the office episode where micheal took a second job selling vitamins and the boss would bust his balls for not closing sales. Seems like that. I think the detail is intentionally shitty to prompt a phone call so they can try to sell those replacement plans where the real money is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that someone must have called them by now. I see they have the condition listed as "Good" and that's pretty scary after seeing the "2016" Artist Korina with the bad frets and wonky routing rated as "Great!" even though it has been returned with known issues.
