jefleppard Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 a local guitar tech has an 03 hamer special in tv yellow (they call it blonde). like this one.... http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dhamer%2Bspecial%26b%3D145%26ni%3D18%26ei%3DUTF-8%26pstart%3D1%26fr%3Dyfp-t-701&w=480&h=640&imgurl=www.elderly.com%2Fitems%2Fimages%2F30U%2F30U-12668_front.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elderly.com%2Fitems%2F30U-12668.htm&size=41k&name=30U+12668+front+...&p=hamer+special&oid=6f28e98d8065d64a&fr2=&no=151&tt=453&b=145&ni=18&sigr=11a6rgub4&sigi=11kr2guf9&sigb=1378bmva3 he's asking in the $2000 range saying that its a custom shop, handmade special. i love it but am skeptical at the price. anyone know anything about these?

NeoConMan Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm not well-versed in Hamers beyond my lust for a Standard and a Vector, but the American-made guitars command stupid prices in the used market - that's the ONLY reason I don't own any. Be prepared to pay more than you think you should for any of them made in the USA.... Check Ebay for current auctions, see how they finish.

MojoRedFoot Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hmm....I used to sell Hamers a few years ago. I have not seen this in the current line of their standard guitars. And to be perfectly honest, some of the standard line guitars have better options. I love the Talledegas and the Montigo Elites and they might be a tiny bit less $$$. See if the guy will come down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'll bet that's a nice sounding guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 One just went for under $700 on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/1994-HAMER-USA-TV-YELLOW-P-90-SPECIAL_W0QQitemZ130349152400QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item1e596a3890#ht_500wt_1090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My take is that Hamer guitars are all over the map in terms of price. I was jonesing for a Monaco Elite a couple of months ago, but wisely held off simply because I didn't have the money on hand. That said, I continued to watch the prices. Anyway, on eBay auctions, they would usually only fetch between $1,300 and $1,700. But brick-and-mortar shops keep posting them with Buy It Now prices of over two grand...and no one buys them.

jefleppard Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 thanks for all the head's up. they are all over the place price-wise. so many sub-models w/different wood, finish and pup combos = so many price variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My son has one in black...... It's a good player, but its not worth $700.... Or should I state, I would never pay $700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 i passed on the deal but i'm still seriously gassing for it. he confessed to me that he paid 800 for it but feels that, because of its excellent condition and age ('94) it will be a collectable one day. i offered him 1000 but he wouldn't budge. i want it but i dont want to be stupid or get piped.
