specialized2 Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Hello. I have posted this guitar for sale previously, so here is one last shot before it goes off to eBay... I purchased this guitar from Mobster aka VegasGreg (?) in 2001 or 2002. It is a chambered sunburst model that I believe BCR ordered only several of. Bone stock, except for a different tone pot. The chambered option makes it lighter weight, but still sustain very well. It also has a great clean, full acoustic tone in the middle p/up setting. Here are some recent pictures: The guitar is in great shape! One smaller-than-pinhead ding close to the bridge p/up, underneath the strings. Very small clearcoat bubble on the front headstock. Some belt marks on the back, but none go through the clearcoat, making me think it can be buffed out. Case is perfect, has hang-tags but not the Hamer certificate. Had the tone pot changed by Action Music in Northern Virginia, so it was more progressive from 0-10, versus just from 7-10... Stock p/ups, never had them changed... Great guitar, I just play my Tacoma acoustic almost exclusively now. I am willing to let this guitar go for $1200 shipped. I will accept Paypal for payment from confirmed accounts. I also also deliver the guitar within 150 miles of 22801 (Shenandoah Valley), in which case I would also accept cash payment. Please contact me here, at [email protected], or at 703-4014701 with any questions or requests. It has been a pleasure to own this guitar, and I hope that it can serve another in the HFC family as well. Thanks, Ari.

3of5 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Love it. Chambered too. How much does it weigh?Oh yeah, I may as well ask the mandatory, "is it resonant"?
gorch Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 While this one is chambered, what's the difference between this one and a Super Pro? Maybe Greg can help out here.
specialized2 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 While this one is chambered, what's the difference between this one and a Super Pro? Maybe Greg can help out here.The main difference is the body shape... this is more Les Paul like as compared to the slightly larger Superpro body. The pickups in the Elite are Seymour Duncan Custom and Custom/Customs, versus what I think are SD Seth Lovers stock in the Superpro... I'll bet I'm missing something, but this much I think is true. I'm off to a local music shop to get the guitar weighed now...
specialized2 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 so there wasn't a scale at the guitar shop... but the bathroom scale method gives a weight of 7 pounds. This is consistent with the 6.5-7 pound guesstimate i was given at the guitar store. Light, but still plenty resonance and tone...
tbabinec Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Superpro & elite have same stock pickups. Elite is not chambered usually. Superpro has longer neck length.
gorch Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Superpro & elite have same stock pickups. Elite is not chambered usually. Superpro has longer neck length. That's the thing. I checked at the Hamer homepage. Although the Monaco from the concept is long scale, the Elite is short scale.

mtn cub Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 final bump... before it goes to eBay... asking $1100 shipped but open to any offers.Hello, Did your Hamer sell?

Wayne Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 What's the neck profile like? I'm looking for something pretty slim like my 1996 Artist Custom.
specialized2 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 The neck on my Elite is definitely a wide/thin, so I'd imagine it's pretty similar to the smaller one from the 96 artist....
specialized2 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 still for sale... $1100 shipped within the US and I'll meet within 100 miles of DC to drop off..
