Hamer Californian made for Wolf Hoffmann from Accept

[DarkHammer]

Extremely nice and cool Hamer made for and played by Accept lead guitarist Wolf Hoffmann.

Awesome guitar, not so cool price of $30K. IMHO their asking price is way too high.

 

Owned and used by Wolf Hoffmann from Accept.

Hamer California Strat serial #436609.

This is the first guitar made by Hamer specialy for Wolf in the early 90's, based on their California model.

It replaced the St.Blues strat which Wolf had used until then. this guitar was used extensively throughout the 90's. live and in studio, also during the European festival run in 2005 (Wacken etc). All of the guitar tracks on "Blood of the nations" were recorded with it in Andy Sneaps Backstage studio in the UK.Certificate of auth

enticity signed by Wolf included.

Seller also listed double-neck Gibson played by Jimmy Page (not owned, just played by) for $86K! I'd say his prices are super optimistic.

I remember Wolf Hoffman with a white Vector on the Balls to the Wall tour.  Maybe it was a Gibson Flying V.  Whatever it was, that would be the guitar I would want to play.  

The Californian is nice, though.

Yes, he played numerous V style guitars, he's a huge fan of them. He was one of the people who made white V guitars popular (along with Scorpions)

His main V guitar was white Gibson Flying V from the 1970s, which he played through most of the 1980s.

Hamer Vector, you can see it on the cover of his Classical album from 1997.

In the 1990s he also used white Jackson King V.

In 2010s and currently he performs with white Framus V.

Hard pass.

I dig Wolf's style with it's nods to neo-classical style and some moderately quirky touches. But I wouldn't place him in the upper echelon of shredders or innovators. Lastly, if it ain't got 27 frets, it ain't a Cali, to me.

Who's Wolf Hoffman?

Abbie's straight-edge little brother.

 

I surprised to see the Accept discography continued beyond Metal Heart.

Hoff Wolfman might need to "accept" a more reasonable price.

Seems more like a like a Chap than a Cali to me.

Yeah I think the Chap is the one with 22 frets, and the Cali has 27??
