Sorry if this has been talked about before but does anyone know actually how many four digit Standards Hamer made? I have seen somewhere where it was mentioned that there were about 450 "four digit" guitars made which of those only about 1/3 were Standards. Does anyone have actual numbers or is it kind of a mystery? The part I'm confused still is that the four digits I'm assuming were in the 70's but there was a new serial number system started in I believe 1977 which starts with a 7 and then four digits (so not the four digit Hamer everyone lusts after). Were the four digits the custom models then and not production? Was there magic to these compared to the "production" ones or was it simply that they had options not found in the production versions? Or better yet, were the Standards not offered as production models that early? Thanks to the knowledgeable folks on HFC for any help clearing this all up.
