donner Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Regarding all them happy NGD-posts containing early Sunbursts from 78 - 82 or so, lately, I started wondering: How many of these characteristic and highly intrinsic Hamer models may be in possession within the HFC? Seems, that everybody has to have one sooner or later. Do they make a "real HFCer"? Or do Standards count more? Let's count them. I have 3: 1980 with 3 HBs, #01561 1978, #80358, and, if that counts too, 1991, #128868 Edited June 10, 2022 by donner 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM OF HAMER Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Well back a time ago I owned these 2, both were from 1979 and both were fine guitars. Neither one as you can plain see was actually "SUNBURST". 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 9 1134. The only Hamer I've ever played. I bought it from the original owner. You never seem to see them in the UK. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) The Guitar Formerly Known As Tiger Wood (8 0425) went to Holland, where it joined others of it's flock..."Look! There's a flock of Hamers! It's a herd of Hamers Dad! Of course! I've heard of Hamers. There's a flock of them right there!"
