atquinn Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Interestingly, I'd say that finish is very Carvin-like.-Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 KK Downing's white one was Kahlered. In the ad. both Had Kahlers, note the blank rear of the seafoam one. The white one might be KK's. I guess less than a third of them were Kahlered, which ony means half a dozen or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcg64 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I got my Virtuoso through a local music shop (now closed) that was the Hamer distributor in my area. I placed my order in late 1987 hoping to get the guitar for Christmas, but did not receive it until May of 88. It's been with me even since. I had requested the scalloped maple fretboard, the Kahler, and the pearl blue finish. Here are a few more pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
