ARM OF HAMER Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 On 11/10/2021 at 7:36 PM, Ham Rex said: I've replaced a couple original bridges and tail stops on a couple of my favorite Hamers with original manufactured new ones, Schaller bridge and Gotoh stops. Of course I boxed up, labeled and kept the originals in case I sell and someone wants the originals. A couple pickups too. I actually built a Cream SD JB from two zebras to replace a Dimarzio Cream as I like the SD's better. Again boxed, labeled and saved original. I guess that makes me an outcast in the club. M "OUTCAST" ? Not at all, people change out things for different reasons. My current fav guitar has different pickups and a different bridge and I bought it that way and had no reservations doing so. I have the originals [ But I actually prefer what is on the guitar right now] that I received in the purchase and they will be included and can go right back on when a future sale is in sight. My comment was that the tail piece had noticeably more wear than the bridge which it does, nothing more.

My comment was that the tail piece had noticeably more wear than the bridge which is does, nothing more, just a question. Yeah....it's kind of strange that the bridge is relatively clean compared to the tailpiece. The seller tried to convince me that it's "just faded" lol! No..it's not faded ..the plating is worn off..lol!. Every Gotoh I've seen is stamped Gotoh on the underside but this one isn't?
