Carl.B Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Is it a USA Hamer? Notice there is no serial number on the back of the Head-stock.
sledhead44 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 It's legit. The seller is member "80burst" here. There is a serial number on it, it's just very hard to see. You can see it a little better in this thread: http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/58383-new-guy-with-regarding-usa-standard-worth/?hl=michiganI remembered it because he's in Michigan too. Good luck with the sale John!
RobB Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I desire this.(Johnny Cochran voice) "If you desire, then you must ACQUIRE!"My favorite era for dot-neck Standards. Great, toneful planks. If I didn't have my black '95, I'd be on this like white on rice...
crunchee Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Looks REALLY nice, that does bring back many fond memories of multiple mid-'90's Hamers owned. Makes me wanna spend money and party...I mean, buy it like it's 1999 (the year, that is).
LucSulla Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I am thinking about going for it, but I might have to sell something if I do.
80burst Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Hi Guys...Yep, that is my 96. It is indeed a USA model and the serial # is very difficult to see, and even more difficult to photograph. I will make revisions to the listing to include the serial #.Stratacus: thank you, Sir, for the PSA...much appreciated.edit: pix of neck / weight / serial # all added to listing
Disturber Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Gotta love a dot neck Standard. If you play one it shows you only want to play the best, you just don't want to flaunt it. It spells R.O.C.K. I want it.

80burst Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 You know, I am not exactly sure, but, based on this image, I'd have to say D or U shaped. How do I go about determining the correct one? To me, it seems medium to a bit thick, if that makes sense.
sledhead44 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 You can measure from the top of the fretboard to the back of the neck with a calipers to determine neck thickness. Most like to know the measurements at the first, third, and twelfth frets. If you weren't three hours away I'd run over and help you check it. I would like to compare it to my "skinny neck" Standard.

Hey thanks for the info...I kinda figured I needed the calipers, and will get this info asap...

80burst Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Ok, got myself some calipers and had quite a bit of fun . I came up with the following: ~width at nut 4.125 cm ( 1.62 in ) ~1st fret 2.18 ( .85 ) ~ 2nd fret 2.19 ( .86 ) ~12th fret 2.32 ( .91 ) Then, I did some digging here and found the dimensions I came up with are very close to these. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/stand3.html edit: Hamer comes Full Circle The Return of the Standard From Hamer Tone vol.4, no.2 (1996) Can anyone say for sure which neck type I have?
80burst Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks for that great info, mirrorimij. Sounds like mine is a typical standard from that era.
LucSulla Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I wish this was ending sooner :-p. Waiting to see how it will shake out is killing me, haha.
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Wish I had the money for one of these! It has to be my next guitar (I just love explorer shaped guitars)...
Cary Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Whoever just placed a second bid on this guitar, Thank You. The angel and the devil on my shoulders can shut up now
JustKid Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Wow...I was nowhere near that. Now I'm just gonna have to wait for my gibby exp nat to arrive and try to enjoy it... however hard that might be
Ting Ho Dung Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Someone sniped it at 1 second. Went from 1560 or so to 1680 give or take. Hope he gets paid. E-bay doesn't refund fees even when someone doesn't pay. They held $28 of mine for over a year. I finally sold something and owed them $7. They threatened to shut down my account (open since '97 I believe) if I didn't pay them in a couple days. Fuckers. I hate e-bay.
