Score

It's in pretty good shape for a '93, all original from what I can see, except for the tone knob which is a speed-knob not a top-hat. I got it at the GC and they definitely thought it was an import model. The dude was trying to up-sell me on a special from Indonesia with binding and carved top for only $100 more.

The guitar sounds great, but needs a bit of cleanup and minor adjustments. The neck is the best part, not thin like my '92 but not Louisville slugger either like my other '95.

You'd think the "usa" part on the headstock would be a decent clue it isn't an import...

 
You win! If bottom feeding is an art form, you are Pablo Picasso.

Hmmm...that probably says volumes about GC, you'd think somebody there would know something beyond recent catalogs and guitar mags. Don't they have a database of some sort for buying and selling used gear? I haven't been in a GC in a while, but I remember that it looked like each used item had it's own description/name, barcode and item number as well as price, I don't think they just do this arbitrarily. But then again, maybe they do! /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Those medium-sized mid '90's necks are my fave for Hamers! /emoticons/default_cool.png

Obviously Salesguy Dude thought eye candy trumps all. Maybe you should go back and 'educate' him. But DON'T bring the FM back, and make sure you keep the receipt!

Nice score Ted!!!

"What should that guitar have gone for in GC?- Brownsound"

I would think $500 at least. OMHO /emoticons/default_laugh.png/emoticons/default_biggrin.png So see, instead of paying Tree Fiddy, he saved Tree Fiddy and got the fun of trying to be "upgraded" to a newer Import. /emoticons/default_cool.png/emoticons/default_biggrin.png/emoticons/default_wink.png

Life IS Good!
