93 Scalloped Neck Hamer on Reverb

[rickrock999]

I'm thinking of making on offer on this 93 Scalloped Neck Hamer on Reverb. I am assuming it is a Daytona. I like scalloped necks. I currently have a scalloped Korean Californian where the scalloping was not original

It is being sold on consignment so the guy doen't know much about it. I wrote to him and got some answers:

He Doesn't know if the Scalloping is original or was done later. Doesn't say if the pickups are original or not. Does anyone know if the possible answers to these questions? Thanks.

Here's a link to a page from the '92 (can't find '93 specifically) Hamer catalogue that indicates they made a strat-like guitar called the Vintage S prior to the Daytona:

Maybe they renamed the Vintage S to the Daytona shortly after that?  '94 German catalogue and the '95 catalogue (poke around the link above for more catalogues) show the Daytona model. If you made me guess, I'd say the pickups are not original.

If I were you, I would ask for detailed pictures of the scalloping from the side.  Some home jobs can be brutal.

 You should get it... the scallops look like a pro job but huge frets... obviously the Pickups are not original... probably a SD JB/59 setup

Nope.  Totally different models.  That’s a ‘93 Daytona with an aftermarket scalloped board.

There are so many talented luthiers out there... 

I'll be selling my Ivory if you are interested.
