Another Wyldbil Guitar Shows Up On eBay

If that had crowns & I could get away with Floyding it (ducking to avoid thrown objects) I'd consider it!

It was Floyd'd and put back, in description. And talks about additional routing for the floyd visible, and locking nut removed. So the screws/bolts were in at one time.

I believe that exact guitar was at Duncan Music in Winston-Salem back in 1985-86. Pre-Floyd, of course.

How on earth do you know these things?!?

My guess is with a sustainblock trem it would be a pretty rare guitar.

He's psychotic.

... no wait. That's 'psychic'.

....or.....

...it's one of those. I'm sure of it.

Maybe both?! ;)

I played that guitar (or it's exact in every way identical twin) at Duncan Music a LOT. I had just gotten my Ferrari Red Special (w/Floyd) from Sam Moss Guitars, and somebody told me that there was a Flametop Hamer at Duncan. It was about $100 more than my Special cost me, but they didn't want to trade for another Hamer. Duncan was primarily a band instrument oriented shop that just happened to have a few cool guitars on occasion. I started to scrape my meager beer money savings together to make a play for that Sunburst (or, again, it's twin), but it eventually sold. I remember not digging the trem on that one, and thinking it would be a great candidate for a Kahler or a Floyd down the road.

When listing the first set of Wyldbil guitars the seller told me that he was trying to round up the correct hardware for at least one of the guitars. He may be doing the work or having it done. Ask him.

I believe that's one I owned for years. I removed the Floyd and reinstalled the trem, but it had the arm. Not sure if I filled the holes from the nut, but likely. I restored a few dozen modded Hamers to original spec in the 90s/early 00s.

The pics don't do that finish justice.
