diablo175 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Missed this by mere seconds! I wasted valuable time asking questions and someone swooped in and grabbed it! F*ck! Would've been the perfect refin/mod project!!! If anyone on here scored this, I'm open to discussions of trades for a recently acquired iridescent Elite with reverse headstock. https://reverb.com/item/4937663-hamer-californian-natural-boomerangs-floyd-rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been past his booth at the B3 Vintage Guitar Expos in Oaks PA numerous times. Stopped to chat a few times as well. So bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense, it wasn't 100% clear it was a USA. I had to ascertain that and it cost me. Possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 How was that not 100% clear it was a USA?! The import boomers look NOTHING like the USA ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The import boomers look NOTHING like the USA ones. Given that there's a mixed bag of non Hamer, shit components all over the body, and the fact that I bought Steve's pseudo Cali, made up of leftover and case liner parts (in which the boomers look very authentic BTW), I wanted to make sure the body/neck were all USA.

cmatthes Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The import bodies are different too... Steve's guitars were pretty much "one offs", and were done with greater expense (and precision) than the import stuff. The serial number also indicated that one was from one of the limited runs - pretty sure that was from the ALM Purple Metallic run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering the same as you. Not sure I've ever seen an Edge conversion done on a Schaller-equipped guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBraz Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sometimes you're best steering clear of these ones Jim. Your Elite Custom looks like a much better bet without the potential for hidden gremlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
