jaded_musician Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Fricken gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnieZ Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Amazing how much incorrect information in the listing! Color of pics is much redder than real SLU pick ups were standard and the fretboard is Brazilian, info for those interested and don’t know! arniez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl.B Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Just out of curiosity was " Dave's Guitar Shop" the only one's who had a special run of these? Didn't Willcutt's have a run of these too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topekatj Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nice CHATOYANCE! Some of the prettiest mahogany I've seen on a Hamer of this vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnieZ Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 There was only 1 run of 30 period! arniez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 That went fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Because they are fantastic, only 30, and better than any LP at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.bandini Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm going to play #12 for a while tonight (as poorly as I always do). It was my first Hamer, about a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamerCustomEr Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 What a beauty! Actually, I'm glad that it sold so fast, because I would have been sorely tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ib2010 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 These are crazy beautiful in hand. The redwood bouncing off the binding/pick up surrounds is awesome. Only let mine go (dumnass), cause my E.M. Edged it out by a hair for playing time. In the most complimentary way, this kept saying, tuxedo appropriate.

Oeil de Chat (eye of the cat) Before I looked it up I thought it was that anger I felt when one of the kids had filled their diaper at an inopportune (public) occasion. "Unable to find a sitter, we made our way to the DMV. At the two hour mark of standing in line, little Marcy filled her diaper. I felt the chatoyance come over me in waves!"

devrock Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Redwood is quickly becoming one of my favorite top woods. Few woods look as rich and classy as figured RW. I have a bit of a stash in my shop now and nearly done with my first redwood build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
