Yes, the holy grail is for sale.  While I hate to sell is as it is an amazing guitar, it's time to try and move it along...  Well documented in "the book", this is one of two in existence, and the only one with a P-90 in the neck position.  One of our esteemed forum members has the other one that was made first.  One of the earliest examples of a carved maple top Hamer, this one has a gorgeous bookmatched flame maple top and the super-killer original "Standard" headstock.  I've had it in my collection for 4 years now and only thing I've done to it was have it professionally set up since I've owned it.  It plays and sounds incredible (KofSeattle told me it was his favorite of the 40 Hamers he owned), and the neck is just sublime.  I've owned many a Hamer over the last 40+ years and this one is as good as it gets.  It's 100% real and spectacular! 😁

As the pictures show it's in pretty amazing condition for a 37+ year old guitar, with some of the typical Hamer finish chipping around a few of the tuning pegs on the headstock, and a few minor chips/scratches on the body.  It also has some minor finish checking but as the pictures show it's in 9/10 condition.  The strap pin on the upper horn has sunk into the body a bit (see pic), and was that way when I obtained the guitar.  It still has the warranty card in the case with matching serial # and some Sam Moss Guitars goodies and a note that was put in there when Serial Steve purchased the guitar from Sam 20+ years ago.

The provenance of this guitar is well known and it has passed through a few hands here over the years, and it's one of rarest and most iconic of all Hamers.  Price is firm at $6,500 shipped in continental USA and will only accept certified funds or PP F&F.  I've done deals here, on the old Birds & Moons Forum, The Gear Page, and have a perfect 100% score on eBay with over 20 years of transactions there.  I've shipped many, many guitars over the years and know how to package them and keep them safe on their journeys to new homes too. 

Reach out if you have any questions, and thanks for looking!

 

OMG! This guitar is all Hamer Love in One. Tempted…

Killing me.

I’d consider selling one of my old things to buy one of your old things from you, so you can buy this old thing…  
 

Then we’re all effectively saving money!

I'm both Happy and Sad at that news.

Happy because you've sold it I will assume, to a fellow HFC'er.

Sad, because the rest of us can't have it.

Just not my cup of tea.  I'm not a fan of the headstock, unless it's attached to a Standard/Explorer.  I had one of the Aldo Nova arctic white Les Paul's with that headstock and the raised gold logo.  Just sold it about two months ago for stupid money.  Finally, I was on the money end of a guitar deal!!!

Shark wow!  I've seen two of the Gibson Les Paul XPL Aldo Nova Guitars in person both bursts.   The only Polar White one  was on line from the Guitar Broker in various ads.   While I was enamored with the design, I never could justify the asking price. 

To the OP, congrats on selling one of the most distinctive Hamers ever made.  To the buyer, looking forward to a tone report.

I just came across this thread. I might be late to the party. If not, is the guitar still available?
