rickrock999 Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Nice T-51 on Reverb. I was looking for one of these for a while. Finally gave up and got a Fender American Standard As New. So I'm out. Otherwise it would be mine. Here it is. 1996 Hamer T-51 Electric Guitar with Piezo | Reverb
currypowder Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Very nice. Don't see the piezo equipped T-51 too often. If I remember correctly, the model name is T-51F.
rickrock999 Posted March 19, 2023 Author Posted March 19, 2023 I played my Fender Tele last night. I started thinking, I could sell this for a profit if I got that T-51. Hmmmm.

hamerhead Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Yep. But.... I've never gotten along with Fender's neck radius. The T-51 was a better built Tele (IMO) with the right neck radius - for me. And then I sold it after realizing I'm not really a Tele guy anyways. Probably shoulda kept it....

topekatj Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I’ve not seen too many black T-51’s. Black with a black pickguard looked cool, like the one in Rick’s hands in the old “Life’s too short for a crappy guitar” ad.

I had the Korean version The T5M, and that thing was HEAVY, I sold it because of that. My Fender is pretty light. Another reason to keep it.

stobro Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 My standard-issue T-51 (no suffix) weighs 8.0 pounds.
