NHD : 93 FM Special, aztec gold

[DaveL]

So last thursday... I posted the GC PSA about their sale... (10% off, plsu 10% GC bucks if you use the credit

card, sale ends tonight BTW)    friday afternoon,   no one jumped on the FM Special and I said,  f it,  I'll grab

that thing as I have a thing for Aztec Gold FM's   

   

    pretty solid... some fretwear,  but very playable.   light dings but finish fully intact,  no hameritis along

the fretboard and I suspect it's a late '93 as the profile is closer to the slightly fuller 94/95's    Top nicer than the

terrible GC pics and I love that the finish has darkened to a vintage amber.   I got a nice surprise when

I opened it up... nicely packed with OHSC.     so nice I almost wanted to keep the box and the fixins but

I left it.    good deal.

I thought about that particular guitar, but I wanted a carved top.

Congrats! 😀

Hell yeah I love those too.   Yet never had one. The tops on those mid 90’s Hamers are unreal.

SWEET!

Congrats

Looks like my old ‘95 Aztec Gold Special FM. Those guitars are monsters. Congrats on the grab!

Just beautiful! They used some great wood on FMs, and that's an awesome one! Excellent grab, Dave!
