Disturber Posted January 6 Posted January 6 6 hours ago, Frank Neli said: Hi. What do you think? That is a great price for a 1979 Sunburst with it's original Dimarzio's and tuners in place. Looks like a gauge through the finish on the side, but as these have a nitro finish it should be reparable close to invisible. The overall finish on the back and top looks very good. The neck volume knob is a replacement. But a correct one is easy to find. The strap buttons are also replacement. The original style is also not so hard to find. I've seen 79's go for around 3000 Euros plus, so I'd consider this a very good deal within the EU. 3 Quote

Jimbilly Posted January 6 Posted January 6 a well repaired headstock break on a Hamer doesn't bother me all that much, of course it affects the value, probably more than it should imo. Quote

I was refering to the original post by @Frank Neli which links to a 1979 dot Sunburst. I see no headstock break on that one and the seller describes the guitar as to be in good shape but with some finish wear on the back. I am old and half blind. But I do not see a repaired headstock...??? But further down in the thread @ARM OF HAMER posted a link to a 1978 Sunburst with a broken headstock. Or did I miss something in the original post? The headstock repair on the 78 looks okay. But I would never buy a guitar with a neck repair without getting to inspect it first. The price, even though it is a 1978 B&C Sunburst, might be a bit high perhaps for a repaired guitar. A clean, original 78, would go for more than that, I assume. 1 1 Quote

Frank Neli Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Wow, those are amazing guitars, both of them. The 1978 has serial number 209! Yes, the neck is broken, but it's still a great instrument. The 1979 is perfect. Mine has the serial number 9 0751, bound and crowned. I've owned it since 1979. By far the best guitar I've ever owned. 10 Quote
