Crimsontider Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 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!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Looks like a Schaller locking tremolo or copy of a Schaller. Depending on what it is, it may stay in tune decently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcald Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 There's something stamped on next to where the bar goes. Ask them to send you a clear photo of it. If it says Made in Germany by Schaller, you're in great shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsontider Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 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!

scottcald Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I didn't even look at that side, so it might be a real one. Bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsontider Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
