What $50 in a Chicago pawn shop will buy. New Hamer Day

Horny bag of electric meat
It's all about being in the right place at the right time. I found this yesterday at a pawn shop for $50. It needed a bit of cleanup. A pot was dead. But the switch was good. I replaced all the pots with CTS pots and installed a set of Rose alnico humbuckers. The neck on this is in great shape. It doesn't need a setup or fret work. Some of the early models of the F/T were mahogany. Later models were basswood. I think this one is mahogany.

Sorry. My photography skills aren't great. There is some glare from the flash. This won't replace the Heritage I had to sell. But this is a damn nice guitar for $50.
 
I would have picked that up for sure. I don't know why, but those stripped-down LP style guitars are driving me crazy at the moment. Want one so bad.
 
Sad thing is some poor shmo must have sold that guitar for 20 bucks if you got it for 50.

Bah, his loss is your gain, congrats, nice score! :cool:
