SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.
SOLD: USA Hamer DuoTone
This is a bit unusual.
It's a US model from the mid 1990s. The original SD neck pickup has been replaced with a BKP MQ90. Original hard case.
It's been played, so not factory-fresh minty mint, but the pics don't lie, and it's in pretty good condition for any used guitar (ignoring that it's had 25+ years of use).
More info and opinion on the Hamer board here;
https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/21701-tell-me-the-difference-between-the-3-duotones/
As well as the MQ90 and SD bridge HB, there's also an under-saddle piezo for the acoustic sounds.
One switch is the standard 3-way neck/both/bridge selector.
The other switch is elec/both/piezo selector.
Semi-hollow mahogany body, bound spruce top, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. So, it's pleasantly light without being flyaway. Not in need of a re-fret anytime soon.
The only possible criticism is that the nut is cut low - the action is incredibly low, so you can get a bit of fret buzz if your playing style is hard/heavy.
There's not exactly a lot of eBay/Reverb history of past sales - they seem to stick in the hands of Hamer fans and don't get sold - so I'm guessing on price at £1000.
Not interested in trades - unless you've got a Taylor t5z hanging around.
I don't fancy couriering it, just because of the risk and hassle if it goes AWOL or gets damaged. I'll happily box it properly though if you're a forum regular and want to take on the risk and arrange your own courier.
Else it's collection from IP22, or a nearby layby or carpark.

At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
You may remember it from our conversation a few years ago. At that time, I decided to keep it as I realised I'd never find another, and thought that "I'll play this properly some time". Of course, I never did.
It's going to a good home.
Still got another USA Hamer (P90 semi) which is going nowhere.
Would that be the one I stupidly handed over to you in a Tesco car park some years back? Was hoping I might get it back one day.......obviously I wont be
Never say never (I always fear the temptation of your FS threads!) but probably best not to hold your breath!
