Couple O' Hamers & G. Platzer

[diablo175]

Stopped in at the Bee-3 Vintage Guitar Expo in Oaks, PA and saw a couple of Hamers and chatted with Greg Platzer. He has a Floyd-modded and headstock-repaired 4 digit that spoke to me but only until I picked it up. Rather, Greg insisted and pushed it into my hands. A little too knackered (and pricey) for my tastes.

It's kinda ironic that when I have the discretionary funds and the desire to add to my harem, can't find anything that scratches the itch.

Thanks for sharing this! That looked worthwhile for sure with some nice axes on offer.

Nice top on that 4-digit, in spite of the mods and repair. Kinda reminds me of the chorus from that '80 song - "Nice legs, shame about the face..." I'm sure it'll find a home somewhere though.

“Butterface” !

Different with the Floyd bridge and Kahler string lock.
Always love seeing the early 80s graphics models.

Haha, I was just thinking that!

That '81 Special is the coolest!

There's a quick cameo by Greg at about the 3:10 mark. Looks like a cool show...

Caught this Hamer bass around the 6:50 mark:
