Italian luthier Antonio Wandrè Pioli (1926-2004), a creative mind that set up the first electric guitar factory in Italy in the 50s, producing some of the most innovative, wildly experimental models in the history of that instrument. Nashville guitarist Buddy Miller has two Wandres... ...and here's mine:

Wagner/Hunter!

I agree, this guitar definitely needs to be seen in person. Unfortunately I won't make it to Ebenweiler 😕

Sorry, no offense intended 😉

I have been looking at this ad as well - what struck me is that either the bridge PU or the bridge look slanted and the high e string is not at all aligned with the polepieces....

Hi All, new user here. I have been playing for about 45 years now with all kinds of guitars coming and going except for a Hamer. I have been looking for a late 70s /early 80s Sunburst or early 80s Special for quite some time, but the supply over here (I live in Vienna/Austria) is far from abundant. So far I had a closer look at two Specials https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/-1982-hamer-special-flametop-vintage-/3067907562-74-9340 https://www.ebay.de/itm/135625897501 I have been in contact with both sellers, the first one comes without a case and looks rather battered (there is an ugly chip on the side of the headstock and the 43mm nuth width turned out to be measured at the first fret 😀) , the second one (from Italy) looks quite right. No1 Music in Hamburg has a 79 Sunburst, unfortunately in natural...https://reverb.com/item/86319073-hamer-sunburst-from-1979-in-natural-with-original-hardcase I would be thankful for any hints and opinions, also on what prices to expect (I am in Europe, mind you). Thanks and all the best, Michael
