I need help identifying this Hamer...

Thanks!

It is a Korean-made Hamer Import Sunburst Archtop.

That finish/gold hardware combination was available mostly through GC and possibly other "big box" stores in the early 2000s. The pickups have been changed on the example pictured, and I don't know what is in there now, but the guitars originally shipped with covered "Duncan Designed", Korean made pickups. The knobs are also not original.

Depending on condition, value is between $150-$300 most of the time for a used example.

Thank you!

Upgraded pickups could help the price too, as the "Duncan Designed" stock pickups are a weak point to some people (definitely not everybody).
