HAMER KOREA SERIAL NUMBERS UPGRADE
I am ordering parts to upgrade the electronics this evening. It is an ode to the invention that shaped reading habits and the idea of legibility, the. I have a couple of clear coats of clear to go. Painting it with a Dupli-Color Mirage kit Purple / Green prismatic paint scheme. I learned that the paint job on the guitar is relatively thin as I sanded it for painting. This first Hamer pretty much replicated a Gibson Flying V. Other musicians would ask what it was and would be incredulous when told he made it himself. It had no serial number, and when it was done, Dantzig began to take it to gigs. For having a laminated plywood body, it actually had a very good tone when played it when it was not plugged in, probably because of the good neck they put on the guitar. The first Hamer guitar made (in ’73) was a short-scale Flying V bass built for Dantzig. It surprised me that the neck socket was painted over during production.

The potentiometers are dime sized 250K and the 5-way switch is relatively cheap looking. I broke down thee guitar this past weekend. She is 23 now, and gave it back to me because it has a problem with the electronics, probably a bad potetiometer. My daughter, from my first marriage, borrowed it from me when she was 14, played in three bands with it, and recorded two CDs. My then girl friend, who is now my wife, bought it for me Christmas 1991.

I have a Squire II Stratocaster, Made in Korea Serial Number M1070510. This is all internet based so take it all with a bucket of salt. They may have been switching from one factory to another and gave a factory a short term work order before they could begin production at the new factory. There was also something from a Fender rep about these being made during a time of "factory relocation." That would make sense. I will say that the grain work on the headstock looks amazing.Įdited again: I found a couple of more sites. If "S" was Samick and "E" was Young Chang then it would stand to reason that "M" was some other company. My guess and it is solely a guess is that there may have been a factory that handled some overflow orders and they got designated with an M serial number. One Fender rep said probably early 90s but he couldn't be sure and the other said probably late 80s. Most of the ones reported were Squier IIs. I did a little google search but no one seems to know.
