You got it right — most of the early (ash, first two -3 years or so) Daytonas were heavy, but some were not. The last 2 years or so were alder, typically lighter.

Looks like a Sycamore top?

The extended range guitar appears to be a Reichardt. https://www.reichardtguitars.com/body

Hey @Jeff R I like the concentric controls on the bass! Please elaborate on the extended range guitar you’re holding in the first set of photos. Lastly, I’d always heard that BG’s strat had a built in wireless, sounds like it would be a PITA/asking for trouble.

Please show off your 2008 and later Hamers!

For the Cali-Seekers
topekatj replied to VECTOR's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Agreed, looks like a V shaped crack originating from the treble side anchor bolt for the Floyd nut. What a horrible design that was to drill two holes through the neck at that location. -
Speaking of overpriced Gibsons with Kirk’s seal of approval: there’s the Peter Green>Gary Moore>Kurk Murphy aged LP STD, complete with a simulated headstock repair — $50 K! But it did include a meet ‘n’ greet with Wahwah Hammett hisself

T-51 on Reverb, Nice Price
topekatj replied to rickrock999's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
I’ve not seen too many black T-51’s. Black with a black pickguard looked cool, like the one in Rick’s hands in the old “Life’s too short for a crappy guitar” ad. -

@Dave Scepter: I posted this link when I first saw this video (unsure if you've seen it). Check out the first guitar outta the case. "Headstock was a deal breaker." -
Ugly eBay Daytona: rechristened 'The Bathroom Stall'
topekatj replied to jujisque's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Welp, at least she’s already hogged out for the bucker and hopefully the acoustic voice hasn’t been neutered -
Thanks, interesting. My Jr. is also a 2004 with s/n 4534XX and came with the Schaller tulip tuners (I ditched ‘em). Great color on yours! FWIW, Check the screws that anchor the P-90 pickup in your photos (and when the guitar arrives). When I purchased my guitar NOS in 2014, instead of roundhead nickel mtg. screws the P-90 mtg. screws were small black flathead screws, almost like short pickup mounting ring screws for a humbucker (I replaced the black screws on mine). The screws in the photos of your guitar also appear to have black heads. Also, unless there’s some ‘funny grain’ in the top LH corner of the pickguard of your guitar it appears that the plastic is still attached (to the pickguard). At any rate, ENJOY!

I want to see a 12 string bass with a Thunderbird style headstock.
