Ham Rex Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Hello: There is a 1980's Special on Reverb. No Affiliation. I made an inquiry if there a serial "no serial number" Has it been refinished "no". Not sure if this is normal or red flags. I've only seen Hamers without serials due to refinish or wiped off import. Maybe someone could share some knowledge. https://reverb.com/item/42673957-hamer-special-usa-80s-red Thanks, H R
tbonesullivan Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Not refinished my butt. Looks like the finish is peeling off the back. It should have a serial number on the head stock, which was lost when it was refinished. It does look to be a USA hamer, with a sustain block bridge. Everything else looks replaced, maybe even the binding and veneer.
hamersandstrats Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Did Ed Roman re-top these thing like he used to do with Les Pauls?

Carl.B Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Hamer would of used the correct size headstock logo and not have the turner over the logo too. Shit refinish headstock Correct Hamer headstock

GuitarGuy65 Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Plus a Special wouldn't have a bound top or it'd of been a Sunburst... 🤨
atomicwash Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 The blistering back looks like an X-File. Watch for a green alien to emerge…

I remember yrs ago before the age of instant net communication, I phoned ER to ask if he had any used Hamers in stock. He was very dismissive of my inquiry, to say the least.
