From page 50 of 'The Book' - "Of course, 'regular production' for Hamer at this point meant only a total of ninety-six guitars from the June NAMM show through the end of 1977" Plastic shim here under 7 0094's bridge.

Tasty, I really like the tops on the '79's.

1977 Sunburst which I bought in 1986. Still my baby.

Looking back at this thread, the 79's seem to have exceptional tops, and fantastic colouring.

Very nice whiskeyzulu, they had some great tops in '79. #70034 - love it.

Love that second pic Gene !

9 0621 Piezo saddles are now gone, replaced by sustain block saddles thanks to serial. Extra pot and switch are now redundant.

Very nice !! Interestingly, I have a 79 with a pencil neck.

Simple, functional, looks good. What more could you ask for !! Love it !!

In 1981, Creem brought out a History of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal mag. It covered everything from Blue Cheer to MC5 to BOC to Bloodrock to Angel to Budgie to anything remotely heavy. It was my bible, and I began the journey to seek out these records, that I knew nothing about, and no-one, at the time, talked about. Mott and the Brain Capers album rated a mention, and that album does it for me out of all the Mott albums. The best Mott vid is this one :

Farewell old board All part of the journey. Thanks Ted and all involved, looks good

Lucky bugger Bubs, very nice !! I have a close cousin, 7 0094.
