stedge Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Personally, given his bad behavior i think he should sell it at a slight loss since the neck is clearly too wee for him. $350, anyone? P.S. Nice score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerDave Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I appreciate the messages and inquiries about the guitar and my intentions. I'm happy to answer any questions but I'm not planning on selling it. Some of you may know that I sold a lot of guitars last year, including all of my Hamers. Just before the Holidays I found out that my job was being eliminated (along with virtually every other person in my department over 55, 🤔). I wasn't destitute, but I had concerns about the immediate future and wanted to pay off all of my debt. I've been very fortunate to find a better job and all is well, but for the first time in over 3 decades I didn't own a single Hamer guitar. I bought my first in 1979 and I've always been most fond of the early 80's Specials and Sunbursts. This one checks that box. Probably too much detail, but I wanted to put this out there.
