Rebeka Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 http://prescott.craigslist.org/msg/3246275810.htmlThe date is old, so I don't know if it's still around. I gotta imagine that it could be saved. Anyone local wanna try contacting this guy?
RichRS6 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Nice spot.At that price its almost worth buying just for the case !Damn those 80's hair bands and their dive bombing antics. Why don't these ever show up near me !
cynic Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 That's as close to FREE as you'll ever get for a four digit, regardless of condition! If I had the cash to immediately send this to Hartford I'd already be in the car to pick this up. ETA: Dot spacing at the 12th is odd for one that early isn't it? Okay, maybe I wouldn't be in my car already, but I'd certainly be on the phone
specialk Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 But the seller wants cash! That's a dealbreaker in my book.
Rebeka Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 If I were anywhere near there, you'd probably have seen a NGD instead of this post. Unfortunately, MA to AZ is quite a drive.
Bennyboy-UK Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Got to be salvageable, got to be worth it. I missed out on an old sustain block vector, that was about the same price this side of the pond...it was a smelly wreck. So prob better off without it.

django49 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 A friend of mine (who does know a bit about guitars, but is not a Hamer nut, though he MAY still have my former Mirage II) is in Phoenix. I am guessing he would be pretty reluctant to make a (probably) 4 hour round trip. Taking a half day off probably messes up his golf plans some. I am not a good judge of merits of the older stuff, let alone the rehab. If anyone is interested enough to want to try to make it worth Dan's while, I can try to put you in touch.
Andrew Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 ETA: Dot spacing at the 12th is odd for one that early isn't it?Because the Standards were made separately from the Sunbursts (sub-contractors involved in wood-working in 1979) it is possible that Hamer moved to the narrower spacing earlier with the Standards, only moving to this spacing when they did the wood-work for the Sunbursts (and Specials by the time this happened). Also Schaller machines - 0227 is from later in 79 than you might think, although I can't quite recall the exact dates.Or possibly he got the number wrong.

serial Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 #0227 (if that number is correct) would probably have the wider octave dots. The closer dots started on production Specials/Sunbursts in 1980 with the move to AH. I owned #0225 and it had the wide octave dots.I'll have to dig through my stuff to see if I can tell approximately when the change happened on Standards.

I now vaguely remember seeing a high two hundreds with wide dots. But never say never with these details......................
