Ehren4791 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 So if you could get any 3.... which would they be? Any model from any time..... Let's hear them. Mine - in no particular order. 1. Hamer Firebird - not the production FB's they did - there is a pic of a custom order in the workshop blog - I'd just want a pick guard with the mini - humbuckers and a few other little changes 2. Hamer Watson - sigh* 3. Hamer Californian Elite. from the "GET SERIOUS" advertisement.That was the add that made me WANT a Hamer really bad...1989. ( only if it had a Bigsby on it though )

polara Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I played a Talladega once and it seemed basically perfect in every way. But I only buy cheap guitars.
bcsride Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 The one that got away... Wow, where is that now?

coolfeel Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 The one that got away... Dude - seriously? So if that was yours and you let it get away, you should be banned from the forum - blasphemous!
Nuclear Wessel Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I think I've managed to score most of my dream Hamers. I know there's at least one other of these out there: Vintage S in salmon blush: The ebony board on this one adds a little extra edge that sounds so nice. And the finish is really cool.
Citrus Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Was just going to post, "If you could have any Hamer no holds barred, what would it be?"Guess with no more being made, similar thoughtsArtist with a Koa top, Bigsby, and Talladega neck profileSunburst with Dan Armstrong headstockEclipse with just a a TV Jones Filtertron in the bridge, metal flake finish, and of course a Bigsby. Hmmmmmmm...... I could probably still get this done for less than a custom order by buying a used eclipse and sending it to BCR Greg and Stike. Gonna do it!Sell a guitar or 2 and get this done. In search of a beater Eclipse!!!
gatorbyte007 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 1. Scotti Hill. Firebirds.2.ZAZA. Spider-Man Cali.3.Kims. Cali.

Rodan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I can't summon all the possible options, concerning woods, finishes and hardware configurations, so in general terms it'd be...a Virtuoso with a Floyd',a Monaco Super Pro anda Talladega with a sustain block.Course, I'm always seeing objects of desire here that I'd've never imagined...
Steve Haynie Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 My Specials, my korina Standard, and my Sunburst that has been my favorite lately. They have all grown on me, so those are the guitars in my head lately. That is a good thing because dream guitars can become real expensive when they become available.
mathman Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I think my top three are all in Peters closetI can only imagine that a lot of top threes are in there from the little i've seen.
