straightblues Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just showed up on my local Craigslist for $750 (March 24th around 3 pm). Not sure if he would ship or not. Long Beach California listing. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/msg/d/long-beach-hamer-steve-stevens/7098382162.html This is a PSA. I don't have any affiliation with the seller and I don't know him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Custom Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 No such thing, they came out in 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soli'd Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 No breaks? Maybe a reflection or something at the headstock in that rear shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not smart enough to know how to decipher the 80’s serial numbers. that does look like some deformed wood and a crack in the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It's a 1986 model. The first digit of the serial is a "6". The seller (like 97.8953% of people selling SS guitars) thinks it's an '84 because of the headstock label that memorializes the 1984 signature agreement between Hamer and Mr. Stevens.

Steve Haynie Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 A lot of those guitars with the locking nut screws going through the back of the neck have finish cracks around the holes. Proceed with caution because it could be a neck crack, but possibly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboMan Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Anybody know what the neck profile is like. How about the nut width? What was the weight like on these in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboMan Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I'm drooling over this one but I'm on a spending freeze right now until everything calms down. https://reverb.com/item/32710378-hamer-steve-stevens-ss1-1986-usa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
