currypowder Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 I know, long shot. Anyone here holding? I had one in the past and stupidly let it go. Missing it lately. I have cool trade bait and/or cash.
tweed Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Oooh, that's like wishing for a Redwood Studio on my end. But, you never know. Sometimes a simple ask is all it takes. Wish you well on your search.

WorstBandName Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 I've been thinking about making this wishful post too - beat me to it!
ARM OF HAMER Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 Beautiful guitars for sure!........................good luck! This one sold quite a while back for $3,500.00. No idea what it would cost to get one these days as all Hamer guitar prices seem to be on the rise. I played one a long time ago at Dave's Guitar and it had a pretty beefy neck.

I played one a long time ago at Dave's Guitar and it had a pretty beefy neck. Yeah I saw that. The beefy neck is what draws me to this model. I have no idea what a fair price would be now. But if anyone is willing, I'm open to have that discussion. I think most members who have dealt with me in the past have found me fair and pretty easy to work with. It wouldn't be the first time I've paid quite a bit more to reacquire something I stupidly sold in the past.

I have found that those who have the patience to wait.....................and of course the $$$$ to buy shall receive. Good Luck! I hope you get it, the last guitar I bought I first saw back in 2010 and it was NFS. Fast forward to 2019, I finally got it. I hope your wait is not that long.

I’m pretty sure Badger Dave had it and sold it within the last couple of years.

Beautiful one for sure.

I was doing a search on this of previous owners when I got it and kinda suspected you were the original owner, but all older postings from other sites had the pics deleted. The beefy neck is what put me on course for other purchases with similar profile. So now for me, FAT IS WHERE IT'S AT.
pirateflynn Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 I ‘think’ it was $2900 new. That was a long time ago now.
BadgerDave Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 That was, IIRC, the catalog model. I sold it in late 2020 when I liquidated most of my guitars as part of an employment related move to Florida. It sold for a few hundred more than $3,500. That was just before the Covid spike. My guess is that today, it would sell for somewhere between $4,500 - $6,000 provided it's still in near mint condition. It was the best looking of the 4 Triple Threats I've owned.

It was a BCR Junior, a Standard, and a Vector. All had the identical Ultimate tops (I'll assume from the same block of maple), and they were all Purple! He just opened the cases and I was shocked at the sight. I never saw anything like that before. And Yes, it was ordered by an HFC member.

BubbaVO Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Trips to BCR music were always rewarded with stuff like that

The coffee was always waiting at the front door (Black Coffee Rules....get it?) Every visit was a fun experience. When I finally ordered the 12 string Standard Bass, it was a many-hours-long ritual of options choosing, and a call to the Hamer factory about the details on the order.

And a few years later, Greg ended up re-selling them to Walter Becker. They were in the giant auction of all his stuff, I assume they went their separate ways at that point to parts unknown.

HamerCustomEr Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I found the auction listing which I included below. The description for the Standard says P90 pickups, but those sure look like humbuckers to me.
ib2010 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I let one slip away bout 5 years ago, crazy beautiful, and with the bigger than “big” neck, it had a unique personality. And sound. —-regrets
