I seem to be on a buy and sell kick lately. Trying to sell my Echotone even more so after getting Bad G.A.S. on this '93 Special. I missed it on the first go around it was posted it seems it seems. Seen it last night and G.A.S. set in on me. Stock Duncans in it I bet. Neck repair at the heel.

That is a nice lookin Standard! Looks like it might have had a crack through the heal that has been repaired, or is it just the picture?
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

The heel depth is made up with a small block. The horizontal join shows in the photograph.

Hamer guitar AND coffee? This time, it's personal! :D
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

Thanks gents. It has been repaired at the neck joint hence it is about 1/2 price.

It is a Special not a Standard.
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

Quilt top, one piece Honduran Mahogany body, cool serial number, 20 year old Duncans, Hamer USA guitar, lower price due to structural repair and advice that it appears well repaired.
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

As the fellow owner of a similar Hamer USA Special (mine is a flame top), I declare this a great score.

These guitars are absolutely stellar and one of the BEST used values going right now, period.
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

Woooo!! Heck yea to Hamer purchases! Very tasty looking axe - good luck with her
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

'93 Special FM(QM) arrived today.


























Pretty nice lil guitar except for that nasty repair/break at the neck heel joint. Feels ok and repair looks pretty well done. Nice Quilty top. My other Quilttop, the 2005 Studio custom is 20,900 guitars after this one. Both guitars serial numbers end in 99 wonder if that is coincidence they are both quilt or a 99 Hamer quirk.
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

Oh. My.


Some cleaning, polishing, screw tightening and adjusting, followed by a new set of 10-46 DDarrios and BANG!!!


Case came with a Southwest luggage tag to Lubbock hanging off the handle that looked a lil old for what that might be worth. It was bought from the Music Go Round in Louisville, Kentucky.

The first 6 frets have serious use and it might need a refret by many folks standards. When I plugged it in after the care it was Hamer as many of us know them to be. May just need a good dressing.


The JB Tremspaced bridge and 59 neck pickups are a decent match. A lil adjustment to the height got rid of a squealy JB sound and really balanced the Tone of the two pickups. LOUD guitar. Damn LOUD!!! Someone or some ones put a lil Mojo in this one.


About 8 lbs on my Wallymart fish scale.


Oh. My.

Re: New Hamer Day Coming

I dont know how I missed the hameritis boat. Mine is a 95 and shows no sign of it anywhere. Not that it matters. The Hamer Special FM is one of the best guitars out there at any price point. They are serious machines and are built as well as any PRS or EBMM or Suhr you will find.
 
Re: New Hamer Day Coming

Yeah Man, LK. I have a Special HB and a Special P90. Both are Natural finished no flametop all Mahogany. Two of my favorites for sure!
