Disturber Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 900 Euros for a refin with no serial number. I guess that is fair. It looks to be on okay condition.
Coverdale Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Are you guys sure it is legit or is there anything off about it? Thanks!

cynic Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Does the bridge appear to have a shim? It doesn’t look flush. That would seem odd given all the saddles are adjusted to their lowest point.

Jellyfish Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 One-piece neck and elongated headstock... looks to me like this is a ‘79 or ‘80, not an ‘81.

bondedbybrick Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Probably later than 79 based on the positioning of the 12th fret dots.......
thoro Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I'm the one who pulled the trigger on this guitar. This will be my first Hamer, I've been looking for a Sunburst a long time, always wanted to play one. I'm a guitar player and built a few electric guitars - I don't care too much for the fact that it has been refinished. Contact to the seller has been pleasant and it is going to be shipped this week. Maybe I can find out a bit more about the story of this particular guitar.

Hamers have a way of multiplying that is hard to understand until you have experienced it.

thoro Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 I received the guitar and opened my own thread with more detailed photos.
