Hamer Studio ??? psa

[Hbom]

I should post this in the For Sale threads but I'd like to get your opinions on it first.

Is this real? Doesn't look good to me.

and then there's this, maybe the best description I've seen on ebay.

"new Hamer Studio - a sound excellent(perfect),juicy(succulent;lush), prickly Grover -builds -and formation keeps(holds) fine(excellently), vulture(griff with(since) by bracket, , exterior presentable - a model under wood(timber) floor(sex;paul) , there is difference as it is seen on(upon;in;to;for;at;per;for) photo with(since) two hands -Hamer cool ,good bright(vivid) sound,strings low to play(gamble;toy) easy,at play(game) on(upon;in;to;for;at;per;for) guitar -a vulture(griffin) as beside(at;by) gibson - a sound possible not forgetting about(of) important - a handles on(upon;in;to;for;at;per;for) guitar - loudness ,timbre and tone-they are an of the sound for(on;of;to;with) , guitar stylish(chic) with(since) by sound - USA stylish(chic) and type(air;view;complexion) presentable"

Yeesh! What is that? Not even right for an import.

[polara]

It could only be a worse attempt if the logo was in Cyrillic

[KofSeattle]

$3.50?

[tbonesullivan]

anyone know what it USED to be? or maybe that is a purpose built hamer fake?

If that was any more fake, the top would covered in vinyl siding.

[RichRS6]

Thats the weirdest thing.

Is it a PRS copy modded to look like a Hamer ?

[DBraz]

It looks horrid! If you are going to build a fake at least go to an effort to making it look authentic.

[Steve Haynie]

If the guy built it himself with his own name on it we would be congratulating him on his skills, but trying to sell a fake as authentic negates any of that.

If you were going to take the time and effort to make "phony" guitars would you make a Hamer Studio? Not that we don't all love our Hamers and they deserve our love, but wouldn't you do a fake of a model with big demand and a fatter price tag? Some PRS model or Fender Custom Shop Artist endorsed model. Jeff Beck Strat, Clapton Strat, James Burton Tele, Gibson Joe Perry LP. Even crooks understand margin, although this particular crook should probably sell thru the stolen goods fence called craigslist, rather than the higher profile ebay. Stealth is good for that kind of biz. Just my $0.02.

Cheers!
