Andrew Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Serial will have the details, but I'm not sure it's that simple. What blanks were shipped from Holmes to be assembled at Hamer is ambiguous. Add into the mix unfinished guitars that would have been numbered later than their woodworking… For dots necks, you can assume wide-spaced dots = Holmes, narrow spaced-dots = Hamer. I have seen an early 1980 Sunburst that has a narrow-spaced dot neck and a bound-body that probably came from Holmes. The rumour is that Hamer couldn't manage the binding at first, so switched production to the Special until the skill could be built up. The only guide I can give you is up to the first production Special, very roughly about 0 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
