Looks like one piece neck.

https://www.themusiczoo.com/products/1979-hamer-sunburst-guitar

This is a vintage 1979 Hamer Sunburst model with a very nice flame top over a mahogany body, in overall players grade condition. The guitar has its share of wear around the body and a professionally done headstock repair which looks extremely solid and has the guitar playing as it should! There's the original Hamer humbucker in the neck with a double-cream DiMarzio PAF humbucker in the bridge. The original hardshell case is included.

• 7 lbs, 15 oz.
• .830" Neck Thickness at 1st Fret
• .890" Neck Thickness at 12th Fret

What "Hamer Neck Humbucker" is that?

Says it's now unavailable. Someone must have snagged it... 😀

Plain neck Sunburst with a headstock repair and changed pickup(s)?
Hope they didn't pay the posted price.

It was a 2-piece neck, fwiw……

Looks like someone may have moved the original bridge pickup to the neck position.  No mention of the unoriginal bridge pickup mounting ring or knobs .

With 12 screw poles?  That’s no Hamer pickup, Badger.

I guess I missed that detail.   Should probably cut back on the day drinking. 🤪

                                      Well looking at some other Hamer Sunbursts also from that era maybe someone thought they were getting a deal on that one. Look at the asking prices on these........................but asking doesn't mean getting of course. Yeah two of these are "Bound and Crowned" [But was the re necked Sunburst originally a "Dot"? who know and at this point well........... but still, Jesus those prices. Hamer Sunburst 1979 - re neck | ReverbHamer Sunburst Electric Guitar 1979 | ReverbHamer Sunburst Double Cut 1980 w Flame Maple Top | Reverb
