Guitar disappeared from GC site.

already sold 1 hr after the post!

what a beauty!

Do we have a member of this forum in Houston, TX area who can stop by and solve the mystery of the pickguard and backpanel? Or someone can call the store and ask an employee about what's on the back of the guitar.

does anyone have this catalogue of Hammer and other Kaman companies wearable merch?

more info added by the seller. Heavily Modded: - Reshaped neck to Les Paul Spec, - Tremolo System Removed, - Gibson Humbucker Bridge Pickup, - Seymour Duncan SH-1b Neck Pickup/\. Modded neck would be a big NO for me.

they've had it for months, it started at $5K. Condition is rough judging by headstock pics. I am sure there are other issues as well, you just can't really tell by their low res pics.

this guy talks about preserving history, but he eliminated nice original Zebra finish and replaced it with tacky green. Preserving history would have been to repaint it in such a way that Zebra survives the mods.

I've got tickets to see Bruce in September, I am looking forward to this!

Strange, I tried on different browsers and on my phone and the listing is gone. I thought it would be nice to preserve all photos here on the forum, as many members liked this guitar.

thanks, I tried, the listing is not showing up anymore.

there are bunch of Hamer branded t-shirts on eBay, they are unofficial, likely made by various small sellers, these days you can make shirts with any logo/theme.

Did someone save pics from the listing? Link doesn't work anymore

sunburst is gone

Studios with super cool flamey tops listed by Chicago Music Exchange. Natural: https://reverb.com/item/88143573-hamer-studio-natural Sunburst: https://reverb.com/item/88143574-hamer-studio-sunburst-1995

What's the perception here of Aria Pro II EX900 - Japanese Hamer Style Explorer from 1970-80s? I've seen some opinions that these are really good substitute for early Hamer Standard. Do any members own any or had a chance to play one? Are they really that good? How is quality / construction compared to Hamer? I see some sellers asking crazy money for these Arias. What would be a reasonable price for one? Thanks!

that's now Epiphone does their guitars, they don't do nibs Gibson style

Great Hamer guitar for sale. Shipped CONUS only or pick up in person in NYC area. Payment: PayPal F&F or Venmo. Add 3.5% for Goods & Services if preferred. 2006 Hamer Studio Custom. Black Burst finish - rare. Guitar only, no case. Condition: conservatively very good condition. Some handling and play marks, nothing major for a 20 yo guitar. Asking $2500.

good deal if you like the color

Someone's asking $3750 for a T-51. IMHO this is insanely overpriced, these typically go for 1/3 of his price. Even if it's mint, perhaps few hundred more, but $3.75K is waaaay too optimistic! https://reverb.com/item/87776395-hamer-usa-t-51-mid-90-s-black

That's so typical of Guitar Center, most their listings have crappy pics. I wouldn't be surprised if some stores still use flip phones to take photos.

is it because it has Floyd?

GC had this for a while, at least a month or so.
