JPDIII Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 (edited) Had to have it. I bought this from Parkway Music in New York. If it got here any faster it would have evaporated. PD Edited July 11, 2024 by JPDIII 18 Quote
Hamer95USA Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Is the color of that guitar finish from the factory or has it been sanded down/refinished? 1 Quote
DaveL Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Those 90's specials are still very cool looking... 3 Quote
burningyen Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Any chance that's korina? The finish doesn't have the slightly translucent/cloudy greenish yellow look you normally see on early '90s Specials. 1 Quote
RobB Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 (edited) Many players’ (including myself) first introduction to Hamer was through P90 Specials. Great guitars. Congrats! Edited July 12, 2024 by RobB 5 Quote
JPDIII Posted July 13, 2024 Author Posted July 13, 2024 Original finish. Less color floated in the lacquer I guess. Neck has lots of meat on it! PD. 3 Quote

Steve Haynie Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 The finish on that Special is Aztec Gold, not Hamer's version of the TV finish. 3 Quote

My '92 is the TV finish and it's much more opaque, and at this point is that baby poo color. Feels good and sounds good, though! OP's '92 is a horse of a different color. Quote

Not so-the color in the pics from the auction misleads a little bit. It's a TV lacquer with less pigment, there is the greenish takeoff around the neck heel and other places where the color settled better. Pete Davis PS. It plays like a dream Special should!

hamerican gigolo Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 A meaty neck on an early '90s Special is rare, indeed... Play it in good health! Quote
