ALMOST LIKE NEW. This guitar comes from a collection and has barely even been played. It has only some minimal surface playwear, barely visible at all, such as a few tiny pick scratches on the body. There is also a slight ding in the finish on the top surface, right behind the bridge (again, not very prominent to the eye). Technically, the guitar is perfect and has no issues whatsoever. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally 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.
