I picked up a USA Hamer Californian Elite the other day for silly cheap. It was one of those deals that even though the guitar was needing some tlc and a setup you walk away giggling going dumbass. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Anyway. It's the ebony board, 27 fret,
mohagony body, with the Schaller floyd on it. This thing is amaizing in every way. All the books I've read on this say its loaded with duncans but they look like Schaller pups. i dont remember seeing any marking on the back of the hum when i cleaned her up. Either way it sounds great. It has a weird graphic on it too. Like a checkerboard pattern but all the squares are the same color blue with three larger red squares and some cloud like looking things at the horn edges. Its deffinatly differant. I'll take some pics of it hopefully tonight. But i bought it as an investment piece thinking i waas gonna sell it but now i like it too much. SO if somebody could possably tell me what it may be worth it's in about a 7 condition with some bumps and bruises on the bottom of the body but nothig on the face of it. A small paint chip at the belly cut. Ive see these listed in books for anywhere from 500 to 1100.00 so Im a little confused. If the price is right I may sell it anyway before it becomes my left arm.
