joshoowah Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Crooked bridge install, tailpiece too close to bridge (look at any legit Sunburst and compare second knob/tailpiece stud locations), crooked inlay, stadium logo is off, no "Sunburst" on the logo, "Schaller" instead of "Hamer" tuners, bound headstock, and serial number fuckery... My bet is a Slammer or XT conversion project. Nothing authentic about it.
Shataan Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 I really doubt they can even properly intonate that bridge. No way. Imho, I have never seen a bridge reverse slanted like that. I think this may not be a Slammer, but a Hamer Scammer? 😜

Not sure how they came across that 'rating' for the top, either. I had a rather difficult experience with that seller once. If you look at the holes in the bridge they're actually what are canted causing the weird alignment. If you were to put a tune-o-matic in I think it would square up correctly.
Drew816 Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Did Hamer EVER use those pop out Winder Tuning pegs on their guitars?! Man, I haven't seen those in a few minutes... Someone went to a lot of trouble to make a fakey Hamer Sunburst, but then forget to put on a SUNBURST logo. Roman-Retop special or the like would be my guess.
