ARM OF HAMER Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 You sure do................... no pics of the back of the headstock............. Gold Grovers would be a good guess based on the tuner buttons.
cynic Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Narrow spaced octave dots on a 79? That's rare.
Greg G Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Just for grins I contacted the seller and asked for the serial number and a shot of the back of the headstock. He replied he was out of town but would let me know early next week. I have my antennae up for an early sunburst but I think I'll sit this one out.
PFunk Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 I've developed an interest in one of these lately as well and see these are getting more $ than I had expected. Is this price about the going rate these days? At least is seems to be for the really good condition ones. Thanks.
ARM OF HAMER Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 I remember looking at a 80s Hamer Sunburst [Dot Neck] in Black when I was wanting my first one.............it had a gold "SUSTAIN BLOCK" and gold tuners...................but those were gold Schallers.I was told that was a rare guitar in Black and rarer still with a gold "Sustain Block" I passed on it on the advise of the HFC.......with no regrets. One would think these are replacements not original to this guitar............but you never know I guess.............. the narrow spaced "DOTS" are another unusual feature................Hmmmmmm.
Dave Scepter Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 That's too clean for an almost 40 year old guitar~ hmmmm... I dunno, perhaps it was vacuum sealed and in a vault all this time?
