Jeff R Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 New Old GT/Goldtop Day ... 1993. She's got a few issues but I can fix them all, and they made for a really, really nice price compared to current street. Those are Rio Bluesbars. Look also for trace evidence of a clean pro head crack repair as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaVO Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The GTs are sharp. What needs to be done on her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Nice, even before the repair work! Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I don't ever recall seeing an Archtop GT with a 'Stadium'-sized Hamer logo (it IS a 'Stadium'-sized logo, isn't it?). If so, it must have been an early one for 1993! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjamiam Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Love that logo! The rest ain't bad, either. Congrats and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need that wire represented for shop clients (I have my personal guitars fretted with slight varieties of jumbos so folks can feel the differences) and Jescar 51100 is a raw wire that's comparable to OEM Hamer but harder and ever so slightly taller. ** New harness. Only one of the three pots in it are Hamer stamped and there is solder everywhere. One is a 250K CTS (P-90s like 500s) the other is something stamped Korea. The cap sounds like its made of tar - absolute MUD. As good as the Bluesbars sound, I think the current harness is holding it back. ** Look closely at the body's bass and treble side waist cuts. The binding has shrunk ever so slightly and pulled away from the curves just a tad. I'll heat the binding gently with a heat gun and get the binding back where it started with adhesive and binding tape just for that job. Easy breezy.
