cynic Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 "Otherwise guitar plays great, has low action and sounds killer" I think you're all overlooking the positives here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundandcrowned Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 And also: "Electronics look to be all original and work 100%". So, what's not to like? Stupidity at it's best. In all respects!!!

Dana_V Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 "The previous owner had the neck replaced by Hamer in the 80's due to a break, but then broke the neck again recently and had it professionally repaired. However, neck is off center and E and A strings fret out past 12th fret." So which repair was done by Hamer and which one was "professionally repaired"? The headstock break that looks like it was glued together by a preschooler or the one where they put the neck back on crooked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two crimes were committed here; one in the bald-faced lies the seller is trying tell, and the other the assfuck of a repair job that was done on the guitar.

ARM OF HAMER Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 The tragedy in this is that it is a early Hamer and that in great condition would be a fantastic guitar to own. What a tough life this poor guitar has had. It certainly COULD be fixed by someone with mad skills to do such things like MURKAT, [Jay] but the cost of doing that along with the purchase price would be considerable and it would still always be a repaired guitar and of less value should someone want to be selling it in the future. Once could be considered a accident but twice................come on, that is just plain carelessness.................put the guitar back in the case when your not playing it.

tbonesullivan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'm pretty sure if Hamer replaced the neck, they would have done a better job at masking off for the refin, right? That poor guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizanski Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 "The previous owner had the neck replaced by Hamer in the 80's..." There is no way that guitar was repaired by anyone at Hamer and such slander can only be made right by all of the Hamer craftsmen lining up and punching this guy in the dick. Even the receptionist would do better work than that. When Hamer performed a repair it was invisible. Every time, without exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl.B Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Where the hell is Uncle Ike finding these gems?? Is the meth problem worse than I thought in Iowa and is Uncle Ike still on meth? https://reverb.com/item/41917415-1959-fender-stratocaster-players-grade-maple-fingerboard-refin-case "The guitar was "restored" in the 80's and it has been fully refinished, both neck & body. The original owner long ago in the 60's had cut off both the horns of the guitar (see photos) and in the 80's they were replaced and the body was refinished."
