Hamer Guitar Serial Number

Hello all, I recently purchased a MIK Sunburst Archtop guitar off of craigslist. There is a small sticker on the back of the head under 'Made in Korea' with a serial number (9802407) printed below, but the serial number does not seem to follow the numbering system I have seen posted here and other places. I am assuming that they utilized a different numbering system for the Korean guitars than the American but I have not been able to find out anything confirming that. Does anybody here know more about this? I was mainly just curious to find out how old the guitar is. Thanks, Kurt ---------------------------------UPDATE 6/7------------------------------ Thanks for the responses!

About Hamer Guitar 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. This would be a 1982 guitar the 2,047th guitar ever built not including the 680 custom guitars that used the original serial number system. Some samples would be #7 4871 Made in 1987 the 4,871st Guitar Made #6 45892 Made in 1996 the 45,892nd Guitar Made. Other pertinent facts to help you figure year out.

Sounds like there is not much to learn from this serial number, whether it is a meaningless number from Hamer or some stocking/inventory number from elsewhere. Sorry to the curious, myself included, but I think I will leave the sticker on. Guitar plays great and is really in fantastic condition, I think it had just been sitting around in storage for a while because there was basically no fret wear and the guy who sold it to me was a musician who came across it but said he didn't play guitar. Some thoughts for anyone else who comes across this and is curious: I have seen a couple other Hamer imports on CL(Bay Area) with this same type of sticker, which supports that it may have came on the guitar originally.

That doesn't mean Hamer put it on as it could have come from the original distributor or shop that sold the Hamer new. My guitar had unbranded tuners, bridge.

The numbers are meaningless in dating them to us. They were for the company making them.

Knowing when they switched would help. Also the Hamer Slammer Series were imported before the plain Hamer labelled headstocks. What does the front of that headstock look like? Dean says the same thing about it's korean made guitars. The numbers are meaningless in dating them to us.
