golem Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 This isn't far from me. I think it's a little pricey given the condition, but I thought I'd share it anyhow: https://stlouis.craigslist.org/msg/d/saint-charles-1982-hamer-sunburst/7549557995.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 One piece mahogany neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Red with black binding is badass. That's obviously a 3 piece neck, though, not a 1 piece as the description states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 To me it looks like the first digit of the serial momber is an eight, so then it is not a 1982 , but a 1978 or a 1988. There is no picture of the front of the headstock. Never seen a Sunburst with a black binding. Can it be a Special with a later made body binding? Or is it really an early Sunburst? For me it is hard to tell. Gabe 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it is a 3 piece neck (as is indeed obvious) it is not a 1978, as these have 1 piece necks. Gabe 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you're seeing an 8 rather than the 2 I see on my monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGuy65 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 It's a little beat up, especially those marks on the neck, but you certainly don't see black bound ones very often. Price doesn't seem that crazy these days as Hamers finally seem to be getting the vintage respect they deserve... I'd just be curious about that those neck scuffs and how deeply they go. I'm not in the market but it's a pretty damn cool one if you ask me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your picture is much more clear than what I saw at first. Thanks. So it is a 1982. Gabe 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM OF HAMER Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Very cool.....................and unusual with that black binding, yeah there is some wear and tear but nothing there that would turn me off to own it. Price is on the high end but sure he will get a decent offer or trade for it. Seller says the pickups are "DOUBLE CREAM" DiMarzio's which they very well may be but are they original to the guitar? Probably not, if they were original to the guitar wouldn't they be Zebra Neck and White bridge Dimarzio humbuckers? Experts? Hmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornjulio Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 That's cool! Interestingly enough that was availabe at guitarpoint in Germany for a long time. I would have thought it was still there. I just checked their website. It's listed as sold now. It is exactly the same guitar that's now being offered on craiglist in the US. What a journey...or is it possible that someone just lifted the images? Just wondering...Here's the link to guitarpoint. They have a reputation for good documentation of the instruments in stock and apparently they'll include their images with your purchase which is great. I like the way they photograph guitars. Lots of detail. https://guitarpoint.de/product/1982-hamer-sunburst-red/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
