draelyc Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I know it’s blasphemy, but I’m kinda sorta toying with the idea of possibly letting one of my Hamers go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveL Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 pretty cool. Flame is nice. Aztec gold is always a cool color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draelyc Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’m almost certainly *not* going to sell it. Natch. But if I were to, what do y’all think I could reasonably get for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixesandsevens Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 $800 - $1500?

Dutchman Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I bought one here a while back, close to the same for $900.00 IIRC. I bought it from SRVwanabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hbom Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 While a picture might be worth a thousand words, your pic begs a hundred questions. 1. Condition? Other than the face of the body. 2. Age? I can guess, but it would be easier if you told us. 3. Frets? Condition. Refret? 4. Any damage? Pics of the front and back of headstock would be helpful. 5. Electronics? Are the pickups and harness original? 6. OHSC? 7. Neck. size, shape and condition? 8. Hameritis? It looks like it comes from that period. 9. Harmonic voice? :) All of that and more that I can't see from your picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that and more that I can't see from your picture. Those are excellent questions! to answer the age question, I need to know how to decode the serial number. Frets are in good condition, as is (I think) the body. Can always take some pix and get y’all’s estimation. Bridge pickup has been swapped for a Duncan Distortion, but I still have the original JB and would include. No damage other than normal wear & tear; no refretting. A little Hameritis around the neck joint. Again, could photograph as needed. Origina hard case would be included. Harmonic voice? I don’t know how to answer that one ... warm and thick but with good bite from the bridge position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draelyc Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Oh, and the neck is a tad bigger/rounder than the one on my Mirage, but not baseball bat territory by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draelyc Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 But honestly, it’s not really likely I’d put it up for sale. Every time I play it again, even though it’s not my #1, I remember what a fine instrument it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the serial number of yours is between 0 24193 - 9 50155 These are the 24193rd up till the 50155th serialed USA Hamers. So then look at the first digit, it will tell you from what year it is: If it is a zero, it is from 1990 If it is a one, it is from 1991 etc....... If it is a nine it is from 1999.

sixesandsevens Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I have a vintage orange wraptail studio and it's awesome. Not sure what it is, but I believe the people who swear there's something special about the wraptail models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Depends on what people are willing to pay. Used prices are all over the place. I paid $750 for my first Studio, but that was probably 8 years ago now. My Studio custom I paid $1500 for. Indigo is the great color ever used on any hamer.
