EXCELLENT. This guitar looks great and has no damage at all, even no serious playwear, only some minimal pick scratches and impressions in the clearcoat of the finish, as well as some belt buckle wear on the rear body side. Technically, the guitar is perfect, wonderfully played in and sounds just great. The hardcase shows some wear but is of course fully functional. 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.
