very sweet X3! i am quite fond of the hamers. great guitars, and the early korean models were fabulous!!

Nice triplets you've got there. I always liked Hamers too. One of these days I'll grab another one...

Not sure how to date the import Hamers.(link?).
The newer ones have AT pro on the truss rod cover this one does not and the serial number is a smaller font size that the current ones.

I did look online and as far as serial numbers they are just batch and mfg location numbers.
The sunburst arch top with this style of logo seem to fit in the 2000-2002 time frame.One guy emailed me and said it was most likely a 2001 due to the truss rod cover and Duncan designed pick ups.So I'll go with that.

Swapped out the DD 103's in the Hamer and put in a set of old Schaller golden 50's much better quite a bit fatter sounding now.
Swapped out the Duncan alt 8 and 490 in the 03 tea burst USA L.P. and put in a set of Duncan APH1 Slash zebras.Looks and sounds much much throatier.

[Shawn Lutz]

sweet. I like the visual change on the LP with the Zebras

[straycat]

Thanks Shawn the Slash set are really nice, well rounded woody tone now.One of the best sounding L.P's I've ever had.
The last thing I am is a fan boy for any player but these are sweet pick ups.
