Hamer FB/Scepter Fun

[BTMN]

I shot these the other day.

Today I played the RedBird before packing it up to send to another Hamer Fan. I then played the Scepter and I feel good that I can keep one of two of Hamer's Coolest '80s guitars.

The FB is a fun guitar but as I played the Scepter with it's blocked Floyd, I was reminded of the main reason I was moving the 'Bird along.

I thought about a "Phoenix" like remake with a Hardtail placement and new Metallic Candy Apple Red finish or maybe even Trans Amber over a really nice Mahogany veneer.

Others want one of these more than I plan to ever do that, so off it goes. The Scepter Rawks the '80s Hamer vibe here enough for me.

Put it on the Big Brown Truck to Chicago today. I did not need another Floyd guitar and I guess I will give up the dream of being comfortable with a Firebird body. That upper corner really feels huge and bugged me. Sold it to the first dibs holder on the Hamer Fan Club.

God that's just epic.

Indeed. I want that thing so goddamned bad I can practically taste it: paint chips and nickel silver. Mmmm.

Mr. BTMN: were some accident to befall the new owner before the guitar reached him, would it pass on to 2nd dibs, which would be me?

Re: Hamer FB/Scepter Fun

Good.


Because I definitely wouldn't do something awful to somebody for that guitar.


That awesome, everything-I-ever-wanted-in-a-guitar guitar.

Re: Hamer FB/Scepter Fun

It's a pity hamer don't make funky guitars any more. I was a big fan of some of their crazy eighties guitars, not saying I don't like what they do now and would gladly vital organs to own one, but I just love funny shpe guitars like those two beauties
