Hamer Slammer Serial Number
I am compiling a registry of Hamer guitars from 1974-1987and custom instruments after that, so the info below is pretty accurate.Hamer guitars initially followed a four digit (stampedon headstock) code from #0000 on up to approximately #0750. Beginning in1977 with the introduction of 'production' guitars (if you cancall the '77's that), a separate numbering scheme was initiated. 'production'guitars starting in 1977 began with inked on codes (ie '7 0001'),with the first digit being the second # of the production year and the remaining#'s the number of that guitar.

So in the example '7 0001', thisis the first guitar produced using this sceme and was made in 1977.The stamped four digit serial #'s continued tobe used for the top of the line Standard models and multistring basses aswell as some other custom instruments, until 1985, when all instrumentsbegan receiving inked on numbers. It is much more difficult to date theseas there is no year code in the serial #.
In 1987, the inked on #s gaveway to stamped numbers using the same numbering sceme which continues today.Again, the first number is the last number of the production year. It iseasy to tell a 1987 guitar from a 1997 as the numbers are much higher forthe latter (#717207, being a 1987 and #750342, being a 1997 guitar).For additional information on Hamer Guitars.you can e-mailor phone 860-509-8888 Contact.P.O.Box 35677-ILas Vegas, Nv. 89133U.S.A.702-878-4948fax 702-878-4959or e-mail.
