I mean, it’s cool but what’s the neck carve? (Is it the V-shape…?)

What’s the acoustic voice?

How much for just one…?

Yeep! They don’t come cleaner than this one, and now I know what, “CTS”, stands for. 

He should be thrilled to get $12k, but who knows? Maybe somebody with enough discretionary cash to purchase their adolescence will cough up the asking price.

Nice piece.  And I’m a Dean freak.  But good luck with that.     6 tops. 

[beezerboy]

yeah well, its a Dean,,,,

[cmatthes]

The seller is totally full of shit.  A brand new Hamer Standard did NOT cost $2k in 1977 - not even a tricked out one.  The LIST price into the ‘80s was @$1,250, and dealers typically sold them for a little less.  
 

Even besides that, the guy comes across as a total ass…

I was just thinking the same thing! It was reminding me of those girls we used to joke about in high school where you had to put a bag over their head LOL

But I guess if you were lost in the desert and really needed to find water that headstock might come in handy...

Hated that headstock for 25 years until I bought my first.

What does the rest of that blue one look like? That is a gorgeous color

Funny how the add copy describes the same bridge for the Sunburst and Standard…

Good catch! That was a cut and paste before there was such a thing

The text for the Standard is very incorrect though! 👨‍💼 They mixed it up with the Sunburst. Where does this cataloge come from?

Reads: "A fully adjustable, 6 ounce solid brass bridge - sustain block combination provides rock stable intonation and endless sustain".

I'm continually scratching my head over the ignorance displayed BITD. Ignorance or naivety - I could have had a brand new bound and crowned Sunburst for just a bit more than I gave for a seriously mediocre 70's SG. 

The perils of growing up in the sticks, I suppose. I had seen Hamers but had never considered the possibility of buying one and no idea of prices or even where one could be bought.

That was a dealer catalog, not actually from Hamer.  I think it may have been Audio Light & Musical (AL&M) from Norfolk, VA, but am not 100% sure.

[JGale]

AL&M was fun store to go in. They were heavy into providing stage gear for visiting artists. There was always something interesting afoot.
