Greentail Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hello from FranceI'm looking for an Hamer SS 1 in Europe2models here :http://www.leboncoin.fr/instruments_de_musique/758289773.htm?ca=12_s no fly case http://www.ebay.fr/itm/331468120585 Preference for ebony/crown...Your comments welcome : price ? Thanks
SSII x 2 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Good luck in your search. SS1s and even more so, SSIIs are pretty scarceon this side of the pond. I love my ebony/crown SSII, but she's not for saleright now...
Greentail Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Yes actual owner writeme that it's professionnal refin...I think SS2 has long horns ?
cmatthes Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Correct - the SS2 is also more contoured. Those are both SS-1s.
SSII x 2 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Yes actual owner writeme that it's professionnal refin...I think SS2 has long horns ?Yah, the SS II has a more asymetrical body. I also think they're different scale lengths.Pretty embarrased I don't know for sure, but someone here will know. Also, the SS1has 3 PUPs vs 2--a single in the neck and a Humbucker in the bridge...
Studio Custom Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Original SS I:24.75" scale length, ssh, equal horns, 22 fretsSecond generation SS I:Same as above but 24 fretsSS II:25.5" scale length, SH only, 22 frets, non-equal horns
bcsride Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I've got one that I don't play currently. So, I was about to offer it. But as starting thinking about it, I'm not read to let it go. They are getting pretty rare. Besides, mines pretty beat up so you probably wouldn't want it.

The SS1 I've got is pretty beat too, although no structural issues.If you ever change your mind, I'd def. be interested...
Baz Cooper Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Rock and Roll Vintage in Chicago, Illinois has 2 of them for around $1500 each... I believe they do ship outside of the US. Tell Heith the owner I sent you!!!! No wait... Maybe you better not!! LOL!!!!
mc2 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 These are not in France or Europe but they are both near mint and the seller is a reputable dealer.Not unfair prices for ones this nice from a collection.I have dealt with this dealer before and he is very good and also knows how to pack and ship guitars safely.He recently got in this SSI and the SSII from the same collector. You may be able to offer him less.....he DOES deal. Also, I am fairly sure they also have the original cases.http://rocknrollvintage.com/search.php?search_query=Hamer&Search=
bcsride Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Looks like someone is going to be in luck.http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-Hamer-USA-1984-BLACK-STEVE-STEVENS-WITH-ORIGINAL-CASE-PAPERS-/131423866660?pt=Guitar&hash=item1e99790f24Not mine. But will be sold for market value more or less.
bcsride Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Though the trem on it says Jackson so I doubt that is original - not that that matters maybe.

But will be sold for market value more or less.I asked that seller about the white po striping on the front a. Couple weeks back and he said they are removeable....think he said they were stick on.
Greentail Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Import taxes for Europe are prohibitives...around 300 USD for a guitar at 1000USD...+ shippingBut Hamer SS1 and SS2 on Vintage guitars site are beautiful...good vintage

But will be sold for market value more or less. Far cry from his original $3,000 listing. Told him then it was an 1985 and he told me I don't know what I'm talking about.

Yes, you should bone up on your SS knowledge.
