[Sugartune]

Wow. Looks quite clean for a 32 year old guitar. Yeezus!

They raised it up $25 total as the $125 shipping that was listed is now included as "Free Shipping".

At least one of the pickup/pickup ring combo doesn't appear to be original, and the bridge pickup rout is peeking out from the edge of the pickup ring.  Enlarged maybe?

I didn't think they still used the Checkerboard Head Stock and Sustain Block Bridge in 1984.. But I am not one of the "Experts" here.. So someone correct me if I'm wrong..

You're right.  They ran out checkerboard decals in 1981.

Even if it were, i don't know where they would have gotten the decal from.

My guess is it's an '81.

judging by how clean it is, I suspect Peter is checking the log files on his time machine to see who borrowed it to find that one lol.

They were still using checkerboard logos well into 83. ALL the 82 Specials I have seen had the Special/Checkerboard logo and most of the 83s.

In 84 they did switch to the Floyd-Rose Special, stadium logo and no Special logo, but it is possible that "old-fashioned" Specials still escaped the factory.

My '82 has the checkerboard logo.

See how easily misinformation gets spread?

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. This is my guitar up on eBay. I was searching the web after putting this up for sale and came across your discussion. I'm pretty new to Hamer guitars. I mostly play and deal in Fender and Gibson and some others. As I said in the auction this guitar really made me a believer. The guitar feels better made than a lot of the Gibsons that come my way, including vintage ones. Unfortunately, I don't know the history behind this guitar. I got it from a Guitar Center. But it looks to have been well treated. I'm guessing the year is 1984 going by the serial (4 10016). Feel free to ask me any other questions about it. I'm selling it for $75 less on my website cause then I don't have to anti-up to feebay:

And I'll knock off a few more bucks if someone wants to do the "friend" payment thing on PayPal. Had a lot of people lurking and asking questions on this one so thinking it should sell pretty quick.

Thanks!

Welome!  Pretty guitar.  Good luck with the sale.
