EXCELLENT. This guitar has been taken a good care of by the previous owner and is overall in an excellent used condition. There is only some little, minor playwear, all very light, hardly noticeable and of no practical importance. Technically, the guitar has no issues at all. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- Hamer belongs already since the beginning of the 70s to the elite of US guitar builders. This company has practically all by itself created and defined the "Custom Shop" category, a term often used and much respected today. The list of options which were first introduced on a series guitar model by Hamer, is nothing short of impressive: Floyd Rose tremolo, exposed coils, graphics as a finish option, locking tuners, black hardware etc. Today the name Hamer still stands for 100% hand work, finest craftsmanship and the use of best materials available.
- This guitar comes from the popular Artist series, in a traditional-looking, double-cutaway design with an f-hole. An instrument of best quality, with absolutely professional features and dreamlike sound.

- Nut: Bone, 42 mm.
