Disturber Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 900 Euros for a refin with no serial number. I guess that is fair. It looks to be on okay condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynic Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Does the bridge appear to have a shim? It doesn’t look flush. That would seem odd given all the saddles are adjusted to their lowest point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfish Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 One-piece neck and elongated headstock... looks to me like this is a ‘79 or ‘80, not an ‘81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondedbybrick Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Probably later than 79 based on the positioning of the 12th fret dots....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoro Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm the one who pulled the trigger on this guitar. This will be my first Hamer, I've been looking for a Sunburst a long time, always wanted to play one. I'm a guitar player and built a few electric guitars - I don't care too much for the fact that it has been refinished. Contact to the seller has been pleasant and it is going to be shipped this week. Maybe I can find out a bit more about the story of this particular guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamers have a way of multiplying that is hard to understand until you have experienced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
