One is Aztec Gold and is (according to the custom order certificate) completed on Jan.17th 2007, serial no. 755756.
The other one is Black Transparent, I do not have a COA, and is from 2008, I do not know when in 2008, serial no. 856175.
Now I see on Reverb, also posted in the For Sale forum on the HFC, a Talladega Amberburst from 2007, serial no. 755413.
So the first thing to notice is that between my AG Tally and my BT Tally there have been 419 USA Hamers completed between Jan. 17th of 2017 and somewhere in 2008, in any case in more than 11 months. That is not a lot of guitars completed in a year, and it can be even more than a year.
However the second thing that can be calculated is that between the 1st of January 2007 and the 17th of January 2007 at least 342 USA Hamers have been completed.
So that is at least 342 USA Hamers completed in the first 2 weeks of 2007 and then at most 419 USA Hamers completed in the last 50 weeks of 2007 (and part of 2008).
What am I doing wrong in my calculation?
Is there an explanation for this?
Had USA Hamer production already gone that low in 2007?
Can it be that the Serial numbers are given not on completion but on start of building the guitar (although the certificate clearly states "completed on") and does that explain it?

Hope somebody can chime in and enlighten me.
