*Some people say that these did not come with COAs (technically "inspection sheets"), but I know that the ones made at around this time did. The COA for this guitar actually ended up being shipped with the wrong guitar (#51).
How do I know this? Well, "a friend" of the guy who owns #51 PM'd me on The Rear Page back in 2012 to ask if I had the COA for #51 since his buddy received the one for #58 with his guitar.  I don't, but asked if there was a way to get my COA to me, but he never answered me back.  Three times.

**That's right.  I weighed the guitar and I measured the fucking neck.

More pictures here.

It's on Reverb, but F that S.

$0LD! shipped (PayPal gift).

No, that would be 58008 and when you look at it upside down...

Oh hell, someone's got to:  What is its acoustic voice?  Nasal? Throaty?  A bit oakey, with a fruit finish?  

Those of us afraid to plug in want to know.  

 

Rubbish aside:  Nice looking guitar, at a tempting price.

Is there a Hamer Standard standing in the shadows sending this one out the door?

I hate it when the guitars don't play nicely.

Well shit, we can all rest assured the end is nigh.  ;)

That's a '76 Explorer.

It's more of a hide-and-go-seek situation.

The "Man in the Land of Flowers" is quite happy with his new black Les Paul.  Thanks, Mike.  It cool...

Thanks to The Shark for buying Mike's Lester so he could buy my Newport. Cheers!
