Young Tim(Hamerhead) can give the backstory on this one. When it arrived at the shop, this is what I found in the case.....
Yes, that is a truss rod channel full of bondo, a THICK layer of brushed on paint and a severely broken headstock.

Why, the neck's nothing BUT bondo!
A couple of hours later.......
Good God, this thing is worse than I though! If I hadn't found this....
...I would have trashed it. BUT....it's the 89th Hamer Sunburst made, from 1977. After a long phone conversation with our owner, the decision is made to move forward.
