kizanski Posted February 10, 2025 Posted February 10, 2025 On eBay Looks like a really great, all original specimen with OHSC. The seller should be brought up on charges for the description, though: "All original 1980 Hammer special with original case and warranty card. Original 1980 Demario pickups pots and switch. No cracks or breaks. No disappointments. Completely original and unmodified!"
Drew816 Posted February 11, 2025 Posted February 11, 2025 It got AWFUL quiet around here... 😉 She ain't gonna go cheap!
topekatj Posted February 11, 2025 Posted February 11, 2025 Nice, It appears there was a lot of sun exposure, see headstock edges relative to the back of the headstock. Also, I don’t claim to know much but are the knobs original? I know, nitpicking.

JOE_CPWE Posted February 11, 2025 Posted February 11, 2025 I thought the seller profile seemed dicey on eBay, although the guitar is listed on Reverb too https://reverb.com/item/86805130-first-year-hamer-special-1980-natural

Is it the gaps on either side of the neck ‘tongue’ at the end of the fingerboard where it joins the body? Now that you mention it, there’s no close up of the heel in the listing. But, could be Jake for all I know.
BadgerDave Posted February 13, 2025 Posted February 13, 2025 Yes. Especially the apparent gap on the treble side.
RobB Posted February 14, 2025 Posted February 14, 2025 Hard to say. Could just be bad fitment out of the factory. Zooming in on the back pic shows checking, but no noticeable breaks. I’d ask for detail shots if I were bidding.
hamerhead Posted February 14, 2025 Posted February 14, 2025 It's totally AFU. Nobody should bid on that......

Hbom Posted February 16, 2025 Posted February 16, 2025 It didn't make the minimum bid, so they started all over again. 1980 Hamer USA Special Flame Top Vintage Guitar Sunburst w/ DiMarzio, Case | eBay
