Gibson, inspired by . . . Hamer?

Did a double take on this Gibson for-sale in Facebook Market place.  Yeah, its not exactly the same as a Chappie, but dang its close.  Not in the market for FR guitars back then so had never seen this one before.

Cool substack here: Gibson's Super Strats - by David Still - Guitar Gavel definitely worth a quick read and showing these:
