Black 1980 Hamer Sunburst forsale

[uOpt]

SORRY, CANCELED



Folks, folkettes,

I originally wanted to hold back the sale of this guitar until the economy gets better, but somebody is selling a Japanese LP that I want right now.

Willing to let it go [canceled] shipped right now.

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE GETTING TOO JUMPY:

• no cracks or serious damage except for the "connection" between the pots that you see often with this model
• paint on headstock and back of body pretty beaten up (see photos)
• paint on top of body and back of neck in very good shape (see photos), except for additional switches
• additional switches are inactive. Guitar wired straight 2x vol, 1x tone
• original pickups with original wind. Unpotted DiMarzio PAFs
• Everything else original, too. The bridge alone with the brass saddles is a much sought after item

Fretboard, neck sides and back of neck are straight and smooth, not affected by whoever knocked this thing around in the past. And as I said, no cracks, no warping, nothing. But plenty of paint chips off back of body and headplate.

No visible fretwear.

Includes pictured non-original case.

If you have cool MIJ guitars (SGs, LPs, LP Customs in particular) you might want to drop a trade offer. Might also add cash to up-trade to a Gibson LPC. I also have a set of WB 67-7 Peter Green humbuckers to throw into a trade.

Prefer not to say right now. Either I have selective memory or the price went up today

Dude, I want this guitar but it's just not in the cards right now...

Dont trade that for a Japanese LP! That is some serious Honduran Mahogany more than likely a one piece body along with a three piece Honduran Mahogany neck. That Rosewood board is choice too. The quality of the woods alone compared to the LP copy are like a Beautiful 75 degree low humidity Summer day verses Cold Dead of Winter -20 degree International Falls, Minnesota night. :argh:

Ahh I see you are reconsidering this after all.

If I had the cash lying around, I'd so jump on it. It would go nicely with my red '81 Special.

Can't say that I blame you for canceling. That is a sweet axe.

Only a (real) Gibson is good enough:lmao:

Re: Black 1980 Hamer Sunburst forsale

I just don't like the axe that much, it doesn't get enough play time. I don't like black guitars in general, and it has that mixture sound between SG and Les Paul (not surprisingly) that I rarely use.

But I agree with you guys that I should trade it for something really cool, not a run-of-the-mill "good" guitar.

Maybe I should put a Floyd in

DO NOT PUT A FLOYD IN IT!!!!!

If it's still around by this summer and you're willing to sell at that time, I'll take her off your hands. :headbang:

I was kidding, man

So does that mean I gotta play it now?
