jujisque Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 This phantom on Reverb has been sticking in my brain: https://reverb.com/item/64555612-hamer-usa-phantom-1983-red A phantom with locking vibrato is definitely on my list of 'would love to have someday' but this one has had a bunch of "upgrades". I'll admit that the Kahler 2710 does get a ton of praise online as a very well designed locking vibrato, so that is intriguing. I just wish it was a refin that lost the serial number and that it didn't have the guitar stand burns on the body and neck. Anyway, I'm considering making an offer, but would love your opinions on what you think the real value is. Also, if you're interested in making an offer too, don't let me deter you! I have no affiliation with the sale or seller.
polara Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 They're nice guitars - I owned one - but the frets look pretty worn, it's an odd refin, and that vibrato will make it harder to move on someday. I personally would not go over $850 on a player-grade, weird-refin, non-original guitar that's not a popular model, but that's just me!

There is a black one on ebay that has a higher asking price but has a "make an offer" option just FYI. No idea the year or if it has the OHSC or how you like the look. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175568365195?hash=item28e0b0a68b:g:ojcAAOSwv4tigBIY&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoB7egUBSomvSgEZFo2IRiQ3Q78oEg1inithZvmJHyzYoT6X0X5%2BJ0DfJ8yTjqoEPL78eummcsGWdSrjYqTV%2BesiKlwhNgtRPfXojL1Ug5gYzmMRQojmAVX44guxUP%2FVAVUPC9oKy%2Fy%2FLk5wxB3ACX%2F93%2B%2FjggAwI0zMuhqn8768ep%2FCzGcQv5A8Ia7n3V9nQMV%2Bx5I%2FORMXEaPHdSPQBOqU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9b36_K0YQ

HamerCustomEr Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Where is the serial number for this (red) Phantom?

It gone At some point the guitar got a refinish and the serial number was lost to history. Though, strangely, they decided to keep the face of the headstock in the original (white) finish

Because it's an amazing instrument. But, not in the cards as of now
