Northsider Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Hey, If you have one under 8lbs I'm looking to buy
RBG Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 How about a light Studio Custom? I have one that was custom ordered that’s cambered.
fstrat76 Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I have one up for sale (also in Chicago area) and i know another guy in the area that will be selling, but neither guitars are under 8lbs unfortunately.
Dr. Bear Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 Keep the faith… I purchased this beauty here at HFC a few months ago and indeed it comes in at just under 7.8 lbs. However, it is not for sale just now.
django49 Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 Too many years have passed to recall every Hamer, let alone the weight of each. But I definitely had at least one each chambered and solid body Elites. My personal preference was for the chambered (and much lighter) version. As best I know, they made quite a few of them. My only remaining Elite is the goldtop with upgraded P-90s. NOT weight relieved, but it is just one of those guitars that I never expect to cut loose.
stobro Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 My Elite weighs in at 9.5 pounds, so it's obviously not weight relieved. It still weighs less than my Peavey T-40 bass/boat anchor.

Guess my 3T is now worth 6K I sure hope not, as I hope to have a Triple Threat someday! But in reality, Wolfe Guitars is always on the highest end of retailer listings it seems, and they have a somewhat steady flow of Hamers that are all above typical market and sit for a long time. I can see that guitar going above 2000, but maybe 2250 range to the right person, not close to 3000 with tax and shipping. Next bump includes a Triple Threat photo? Very few of those photos are out there.
jujisque Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 I think I messaged the seller on this one a while ago and they said it was around 8 or maybe a bit under: https://reverb.com/item/62492050-hamer-monaco-elite-2005-ebony
Kalessin Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 I'd think if lightweight is the most important quality, it might be worth playing a Super Pro and seeing if that sound grabs you. I vastly prefer mine to the solid Monaco I used to have, both on weight and sound. But then, I'm not wanting the exact Les Paul sound. This is more articulate.
Northsider Posted December 10, 2022 Author Posted December 10, 2022 Thanks, but I prefer the smaller scale Elite
