Howard Leese's Phantom fs on Craigslist

[Jimbilly]

anybody posted this fyi yet?, this is very cool! (not mine):

"Beautiful Hamer Phantom 6-string guitar with Kahler tremolo and locking bridge, candy-apple "Rose Pearl" red. This is a piece of Seattle rock-n-roll history! (Hamer guitars were a favorite of Jethro Tull, Heart, and other bands from the 1970s and 1980s.)

I've had this guitar since 1988, but cannot play due to wrist injury. I have the original receipt from the Hamer factory - it has Howard Leese's name (the main guitarist from the band Heart, and lately of the Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) Band, and lists the serial number 27488, the color and the Hamer case.

Comes with whammy bar, hex key/allen wrench for locking the bridge down, original receipt for the amount of $494.90 from the Hamer factory showroom in Illinois, and Hamer case.

Slight ding on bottom, slight scratches where Howard's belt buckles rubbed lightly on the body, they don't show on pictures. Frets have virtually no wear, and it stays in perfect tune for years if you lock the bridge. Has a truss rod through the neck for adjusting and keeping true.

Cash only, or will consider trade for quality 5-string banjo"

Good price, too. But I already have two Phantoms!

So, Kahler add on... a request while at the facility or a later add on....

Had to be a later add-on...

Which apparently can be played by someone with a wrist injury.

It would sound just the same if he had bloody stumps.

I live right by there, I should go check it out ... I might even be able to live with the color BUT the Kahler is a deal killer.

I didn't check in on the board last night but I emailed first thing this morning. It is already spoken for. I could have lived with the all of it. Look Cool!
