Feynman Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Just a heads up for you. A friend of mine has decided to sell his T-51F, and it's a very nice guitar.I just thought you might like to know it's a good guy on the other end of the auction...Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Hamer-USA-T-51-Guitar-...=item2a02f4d1df
bubs_42 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Does this have the T51 Headstock or the Later Daytona Headstock?
mirrorimij Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Does this have the T51 Headstock or the Later Daytona Headstock?????. What does this mean? The T51 has always had the same headstock (unless it was a custom order or factory error).

The T51 has always had the same headstock (unless it was a factory error).If i'm not mistaken, some of the end of the run guitars had whatever neck was left. I've seen T51's with both styles. If i'm wrong then great I want the smaller T51 Headstock, this one just looked longer in the picture at that angle.

It doesn't mean it didn't happen, though. Where did you hear that?

But I have seen them both ways thats why I asked.
mirrorimij Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 The Daytona and T51 shared the name basic neck as far as the woodshop was concerned. It was called an ES22 and had a letter (D or T) that specified if it was for a Daytona or T51. The T51 headstock shape never really changed but, every once in awhile, an ES22D (meant for a Daytona) would be reshaped into an ES22T (to go on a T51). This was done by hand and there are variations. That might be what we are seeing here. If a T51 exists with a true Daytona headstock I can only see 4 reasons why:1) Custom ordered that way2) A mistake occured in assembly and a neck meant for a Daytona went on a T513) Someone swapped necks 4) Its an "unofficial" Hamer parts guitar.The one on eBay looks like a typical T51 headstock to me. It may not be exactly like every other T51 headstock but it certainly isn't a Daytona.
belgian Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 This is the one I really want, but the timing is very wrong.
bubs_42 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 This is the one I really want, but the timing is very wrong. You can say that again... I really want a T51 and with my plans not to purchase any guitars on 2010 this would be a good way to end the year.
mirrorimij Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I really want a T51 and with my plans not to purchase any guitars on 2010 this would be a good way to end the year. It would be a GREAT way to end the year!
Surfanarchist Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Nice looking guitar at a good price. Used Hamer guitars are such good deals...
