Remember this one? (early hamer prototype centura)

To refresh the minds~

It was a wreck. Jol did not provide any real detail of the instrument via memory or serial #.

I can tell you that it went thru many incarnations. Many layers of paint with many label / decals, many routings between coats of paint, all factory done.

Mystery (trem) bridge was never really revealed. All time period options of were dismissed.

Guitar was gutted down to wood, refretted, shelf made for floyd nut, layers and layers of mahogany wood to fill the suspect trem routings. All mocked up, setup, prepped, then sent off to Stike for some spray.

Now, it's All Fixed Up.  

And indeed after all the TLC and :wub: that you put into it, its a great looking geetar.  I'll bet it sounds as a good if not better.  Cali.  Centaura. Whatever.  Its now Cinderella.  Transformed from sweeping floors to belle of the RAWK'N Ball.  Cheers!

Great job on the restoration of that guitar! It still looks like a Chapparal to me though.

Even in sunlight, it just goes nuts in color.

plays very well too ;)

Do you need a concealed carry permit to put that in a case and bring it to a gig?  As soon as you open the case the ATF bad ass boys will be all over you!
