Cboss Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Any idea where the standard went? What would it be worth now?
currypowder Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 Bump. Don't want to let this request get too buried.
hamerhead Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 And if Mitch can find a Newport 90, you just never know....
currypowder Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 If you don't ask, you won't receive.
The Shark Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 They seem to be more rare than usual the last year or so. Hope you find one. I'll let you know, if I see one on the market.
currypowder Posted April 28, 2023 Author Posted April 28, 2023 Bump. I'm not going to stop until I find one.
currypowder Posted October 25, 2023 Author Posted October 25, 2023 Been a few months, but I'd still like to get my hands on a TT! As always, I have some pretty cool trade bait, but also have cash in hand.
currypowder Posted January 26, 2024 Author Posted January 26, 2024 Looks like the search may be over. One popped up on Reverb a couple hours ago and I was able to snag it. Thanks to @stratacus for the heads up and to the gear gods that I received the message. Will post pics when it arrives next week.
Ua D Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 Nice. I saw that pop up on reverb and realized what it was even though it wasn’t labeled as a triple threat. Glad someone here scored it. Congrats. I just scored a limited Hamer recently and can’t wait for delivery.
Cboss Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 Forgive my ignorance but what exactly is a triple threat?
currypowder Posted January 26, 2024 Author Posted January 26, 2024 2005 Limited run of 30 Studio Customs in conjunction with 3 dealers with 3 unique features : 1 piece Honduras mahogany neck with a fat carve 17 degree headstock angle Brazilian RW fretboard There has been some debate as whether the third feature was the FB or vintage style TonePro bridge. Regardless, a very unique Hamer. here's Joel's quote from the Hamer site at the time: "I am pleased to unveil a very special limited edition model that I call the Triple Threat. It's named after the three most unique features of the guitar and is a reference to my three esteemed design collaborators at the dealerships that will exclusively offer this model this year. Each instrument is a little different—some tops are flat-sawn and some are quarter-sawn and all are under 8.5 lbs. In addition to our '59 burst, colors are Ic'd-T and Wash'd-T. In order to capture a different timbre, we've employed a single element neck design crafted from aged honduras mahogany. To provide maximum stability we have used seasoned wood and allowed the finished necks to normalize for a long period before curving and fretting the Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. The second bold feature is the 17 degree headstock angle which makes this instrument unique among modern Hamers.The final touch is the use of a TonePros AVR II vintage style bridge and matching TonePros tailpiece in cast zinc. All hardware is nickel finish."This was a very fun project with a great group of people, but when these are gone... that's all folks!"

My understanding was always that the bridge was the 3rd threat. congrats on the score! Pics and full tone report requested when you get it.
