The guitars and basses described in these pages are those which havebeen produced by Hamer U.S.A. over the past twenty-two years. ObviouslyHamer also makes many one-of-a-kind custom instruments and the hardwareand style of 'production' instruments may be different on SpecialOrder instruments. It also does not include specially ordered very limitedproduction instruments that were not generally available. Therefore thelist is not exhaustive. The dates are also approximate and several modelsdo not appear in catalogues. It should be remembered that Hamer will buildinstruments to order so any model is in practice still available.
A Note on Hamer Serial Numbers
In 1974 Hamer used a four digit number stamped into the wood startingwith guitar #0000 and until the launch of the Sunburst this system wasused on all guitars. Zoombinis logical journey mac. The Sunbursts were numbered using a different system: the first digit represents the year of production and the following four(or later five digit number) is the total number of guitars made by Hamerand numbered using this system. So for example guitar #8 0196 was madein 1978 and was the 196th guitar to be numbered using this system. Similarly# 8 21416 was made in 1988 and was the 21416th guitar to be numbered. Thesenumbers are printed using ink or paint (black on most but yellow on blackand dark coloured instruments). By 1980 most guitars made were numberedusing this later system but some custom instruments (notably Standardsand Eight-string basses) were numbered using the older four digit numberingsystem, a very few were still numbered using this system up until 1985(e.g Standard #0722 was completed in May 1984); in total about 750 instrumentswere numbered using these four digit numbers. Late in 1987 the serial numberswere stamped into the wood rather than printed. Just to complicate mattersmany one-of-a-kind and prototype instruments have numbers that do not relateto either of the above systems.
