V is cool, but it’s probably an even rarer bird to find. So realistically speaking, Explorer shape Scepter

I think it’s possible to get approximate dimensions from photos.

Does anyone know how many Scepters were made? I’d like to get one, but they almost never pop up. If only about 50 of them were made, the chance of getting one in good shape for a reasonable price seems close to zero. Maybe I should just order a replica from a luthier.

And also rosewood fretboard is not for boomers imo

He listed the neck separately https://reverb.com/item/98796943-hamer-copy-californian-neck

Yes I’ve seen them, but I’ll probably just take it to luthier, don’t want to mess anything up

Thanks! Yes, these were made by Schaller. I’ve already found and ordered single schaller tuner on eBay (used). I’ll replace the part with Hamer logo, so in the end there should be no difference at all

Hello, gents! Got this tuner damaged during delivery. Anyone can sell me a replacement tuner?

It’s listed on reverb as well https://reverb.com/item/94304824-hamer-californian-standard-usa-1989-black-purple

The current plate looks original. Wood under the trem arm was definitely removed aftermarket.

Also this OFR comes with mounts, screwed directly into the wood. I wonder, if he replaced original Schaller mounts with those. What is that?

No. And Floyd rose upgrade doesn’t make sense, the cavity is to small for it. He should have put Schaller FR instead

Chap with booms and O’Connor finish in descent condition for only 2k, crazy

I’m overseas, but I have address in VA, where you can ship it. By the way, if you have golden Floyd with stripped intonation threads, that’s fine too.

Hello, gents. Interested in Hamer branded golden Floyd rose (or just base plate) and Hamer branded golden tuners (6 in a row). Pics for reference:

Bump

There were some custom Californians with 24 frets. For example one of HFC members owns these nice Californians: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BkRGn7oCX/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I don’t think it is Californian based on pickup selector placement

Hello, gents. I’ve got my eyes on this Chap. Seller claims it’s all original, but I believe it was heavily modified aftermarket. What do you think?

Hello! Were there Californians in Trans Red factory finish? Or it is aftermarket?

If the old paint is badly damaged for example

Also might be interested in a stripped Cali or Chap for a custom finish project I have in my mind

That was quick
