Nice Cali for Sale....No Aff.

[Jon C]

Real beauty.  Too pricy for me, but love it.  I believe it is a 1990 if I understand my serial numbers for Hamer accurately.

Not sure what would cause the spotting on the headstock and truss cover.  I didn't know SD pickups on USA Calis were branded....the ones I have are unlabeled. 

Gorgeous.

Looks like the headstock and case could use a little light dusting

You'd think for fuk'n $5K he'd take 30 seconds and clean the damn thing 🤔

[topekatj]

IMO Any solidbody guitar selling for $5K outta be self-cleaning

Hopefully it is dust, but I think its pitted.   

Its just a guess but I think it was used at an outdoor concert at a military base, on clear day, where the Blue Angels were performing, on a Saturday in June, the owner had special access to the runway, got to close during the low altitude fly by, got sprayed with rocks from the exhaust from Blue Angel #3, dropped his hot dog and was only able to use his body in time to shield the guitar except for the headstock.  Just a guess, as I said, but what else could it be, really?  (I suspect the back of his clothes he wore that day have the same pitting).

It is not pitted, that is just a major bunch of dust that got wet, repeatedly..or jizzed as Dave suggests

Somehow the left leg of the m in Hamer took a hit and that is scraped away, the rest of it would clean up very nicely

Every one of these I've gotten, that black headstock looks like shit; some 3M perfectit on a low speed cotton buffer, 15 seconds of passes over it followed by hand Compound with the same, then wax and it looks like a black bottomless mirror

But, but.....Blue Angels........exhaust........rocks.  ;<)
