Hamer Xt Serial Numbers

  1. Hamer Xt Series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION You are looking at a really cool Hamer Blitz bass. This is a quality USA model built in 1984. Hamer built these Blitz basses between 1982 and 1990. The signature feature of this bass is it’s Explorer-style body shape. It has a P and J style pickups, a Hamer bridge, and Hamer tuners. The body is Mahogany, the fretboard is Rosewood, and it has a set neck. It is a full scale 34' bass and has 21 frets. Functionally, everything is working on the bass, and I believe everything is original. While it has a radical look to it, the tone is much more rich old school . . . the bass may be pointy, but the tone is deep and round. I’m guessing the original color was White, but it has aged to a very vintagey mellow-yellow-ish white. There is a lot of lacquer-style checking of the paint on the body and headstock.

DESCRIPTIONUp for sale is a fantastic 1982 four digit serial Hamer Standard in its original black finish. The holy grail of the Hamer line, this Standard features dual humbucker pickups (zebra and double cream), aftermarket Kahler tremolo unit and locking nut, bound body and bound neck, dot inlays and German Schaller tuners. The younger models are labeled 'Hamer' with 'XT-Series' underneath the Hamer logo. IIRC, the 'XT Series' are not Korean, but of Chinese/Indonesian origin. I was told directly from the guy who handled Hamer's import line that the serial numbers assigned have nothing at all to do with the year, and that was not a reliable way to date your guitar. A Note on Hamer Serial Numbers. In 1974 Hamer used a four digit number stamped into the wood starting with guitar #0000 and, until the launch of the Sunburst, this system was used on all guitars.
