SteveE9C6 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I bought this in the mid 90’s and will be parting with it as my near total gear sell off. it is exactly as I bought it. It has a neck joint repair that is not the prettiest, but has been stable for over 25 years. I have no idea what to ask for this. I’m not asking for bids or best offer, but just ideas of a general range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I likes it! Can you give us the first digit of the serial number? Big neck difference (usually) between a '93 and a '95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It's going to be an '80 - '82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Is the neck thin or medium? A pickup looks to have been changed. Is the serial number still visible, or was the finish stripped off of the entire back of the headstock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE9C6 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Serial number is not visible. Slender neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE9C6 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 this guitar looked this old when I bought it in 95 or 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE9C6 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thank you. I’m going to post this on Reverb and FB Market Place. I bought it from a dealer and believe I paid $750 plus shipping in 95. We talked a lot about this guitar here back then. The dealer was in Idaho. The guitar was previously owned by D.

dhuber Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I have no idea of what the older Hamer's are worth. I'd guess there are people on this forum that would give you $350 for the bridge alone. If your listing it on Reverb ask at least double or more of what you paid for it. You can always drop your price over time. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Scepter Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 With the neck issue, approximately 50% or you may make more from the sum of it's parts... $800 If money is the issue, I'd definitely part it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 You can definitely set a high price since that is the trend. Take offers and see if someone makes you happy. We still have not come up with a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 My 1980 Cboard Special had a slender neck but was a resonant rocker. I bet this one is too. I’d slap $1k on it on Reverb…you can always lower the price later. I bet it gets snapped right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 $1,200 on Reverb, you will probably get offers above $1,000. If it wasn’t for the neck repair and lack of serial, it would. E closer to $2k these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE9C6 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 I spent a hour cleaning and restringing early am. I’m 100% certain this is an 81-82 model. It is a nitro finish guitar and has what appears to be all original parts. I am recalling our prior discussions regarding this guitar over 20 years ago here. The neck repair is stable for over 25 years. I specifically spoke to the dealer when I bought it regarding the serial number. He told me that it was brought in by D. Lippert who was the original owner. There is a tiny paper tag inside the control panel with his name. I believe the pots will confirm 81-82. This is a very resonant guitar that rings acoustical . Everything works and the original hard shell case is included. I would love to see this go to someone here who appreciates what it is. I do not have the luxury of time due to my cancer. $1200 shipped to lower 48. Zelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
