1992 Korean Centaura for sale question


Recommended Posts

Just ran across this 92 MIK Centaura for sale on the cheap cheap.

Is that a genuine Floyd Rose?  Has Hamer on the tuners and tremolo.  Head stock wood quality looks more like a USA than Slammer Series,imo.

I am wondering if this is an early iteration Hamer import with USA parts, just assembled in Korea. Any insight appreciated.  Good deal regardless!.

Looks like a Schaller locking tremolo or copy of a Schaller. Depending on what it is, it may stay in tune decently.   

You're right.  My MIk Californian has a licensed by Floyd and isn't Hamer engraved.

Here's a USA Centaura I just found with a licensed under Floyd Rose engraved..... Very similar. I think it's the same Tremolo system as the USA.  If I hadn't already bought a guitar today.......

Maybe tomorrow. For $229 someone will be happy!

It looks identical to the Floyd Rose systems on 1992 Hamer USA models like the Diablo. Not saying this guitar is a USA equivalent but it shares more parts than later Slammer Series imo. Looks like it has a Centaura body and a Chaparral neck.  I bought so will know soon!  Appreciate the input.

Cool, be interesting to see if it actually says Made in Germany.  Nice bonus if so.
