Hamer USA Monaco Elite 2003 Premium Quilt top Ebony fingerboard
Final Price Drop. Best deal on a Monaco Elite on Reverb.
2003 Monaco Elite with crazy quilty, flamey, premium top and EBONY fretboard w/ OHSC.
Super clean with one ding near the control cover plate. No belt rash but some light scratches, most likely from jean rivets. Has the usual polish swirls.
It does have a little bit of fret wear on frets 1 thru 5. There are light divots where all strings contact frets 1-4 and flattening on the 5th fret. The G string on the 2nd fret is the worst, shown below.
Nickel Sperzels have been installed and I no longer have the original tuners. If you install factory style Schallers, they will cover the holes from the Sperzels. They do have a bit of oxidation on them, but nothing grungy.
Pickups have been changed to a Duncan Pearly Gates bridge (4 conductor) and the neck is another Duncan that looks to be a Seth Lover but does not have his signature on it. Not sure exactly which model it is but it sounds warm and clear. Both have had Duncan covers added.
Faber INserts added.
The stop bar is a Gotoh lightweight aluminum one.
Neck volume pot died a few months ago and has been replaced with one of several Hamer pots I ordered from BCR Music years ago. Tone cap changed out to 0.022uF poly orange drop.
The knobs are the correct style but are not original to the guitar. Originals were amber.
The case latches have some oxidation on them.
