class of '84 reunion

[Jimbilly]

Post a pic of your 40 year old Hamer.

 Maybe this has been done before?, I should have thought of this during the summer.  I'll be able to start a 30 year thread if needed. 

 This has a lot of fret wear for good reason, a great player.

Don’t have any 1984 Hamers but I have a few that are older than that. Couple years from now I can post a 50 year old Hamer. Here’s a 41 year old Hamer Blitz  😎👍🏁

My 2 '84's❤

Uploading them to this site flipped them sideways by the way; why is it so hard to post pictures here?

85 Scepter on the left, 82 Standard on the right equals 83,5 right?

'84 Phantom A5 and '81 Prototype plus  a Paul Reed Smith P90. Love both, have a great range of sounds and versality...

I have a P90 in a 82 prototype, it is fantastic in that guitar!

What is the bridge pickup in the phantom?

The Phantom bridge PU is a Seymour Duncan Jimmy Page Humbucker with chrome cap. The two DiMarzio Single Coils must be original. Didn't like the white P90 cap, so now  the coil is visible now in black.

The Prototype-PUs are bastards: a Gibson 498 Humbucker, a Seymour Duncan Power Single Coil, plus neck: Paul Reed Smith P90 .

 

Bought them both with Ortiginal PUs around May 2021 in Bremen, North Germany (= Beck's Bier), for a very friendly price via eBay Kleinanzeigen. Great guitars, great sound possibilities

Early Proto 2, and the only one I've seen with crowns.  Stevens models had Floyd trems

my mistake!, which is bad, because I own that proto ii above, and SS (1) and SS2, so I should know!, I'll blame that glass of wine or something.

Yes, I don't believe I've seen another Proto 2 with crowns.
