Funny. I'm currently working on "Doctor, Doctor" and "Only You Can Rock Me", plus on MSG's "Armed and Ready". Those actually are the only "true rock" songs I'm practicing these days, just to distract from my cannot-be-less-rocking-than-that gig.

Thank you! We'll see what will happen.

BTW, I got an empty vintage Vector case in my garage (in great condition), as well as a set of zebra (cream&black) Schlabotniks that are begging for a deserving host. And I also have a set of black top-hat knobs by Gibson. ;)

Intersting serial number: inked on '84 serial with a stamped 4 digit number.

Gotta admit that is very interesting.

I also agree with Kiz Vectors are supposed to be strung through. 

Maybe Serial, Peter or someone else can chime in with any knowledge of this guitar.

This is an interesting one on many fronts-I can share a couple of pieces on this:

1. Quick glance of the hamer logs shows a gap for 0729-but if you look closely 0728 is out of sequential order (definitely not the only example seen in the logs) and 0732 is a V bass.  You wonder if it started life as a 4 digit, but either never finished or went back for a refresh in '84?

2.  Cool logo as I have seen it used on two other Hamers with the B/W graphic finish-including the orig finish on the Big Neddi V.

Does need alittle more investigative work.

Yep. It actually took me several seconds realizing its "pickguard" was painted. That might also explain why it has those "taller-than-normal" pickup rings.

I dunno, pretty strange to me... interesting but strange... I've Googled pics of Gibson 67 Vees and do not see the high Tenon that Murkat was talking about... I also have a 67 RI and 91/92 Rudolf Schenker signature model both with pickguards that do not have the high Tenon... I have seen High tenons on the early specials or double cutaway but never on a V... perhaps a one-off?.. Stranger things have happened I guess... just my two cents~

It's more of a 70's thing- I have a '74 Gibson that's built in this way.   Still, pretty unusual for a Hamer...

Good luck on bidding!

 
Just watched the video. I'm convinced this guy will trade for raw steak -- just get some meat together and go trolling his neighbourhood... if he bites you got him.

 
I think this guitar will sell for more than it might have, if this thread hadn't popped up.  I'm out, so don't misunderstand.
