*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).

Indeed, the "ultimate" serial number for a '58 Reissue!

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

And why would I be upside-down?
What kinda sick, perverted shit is that?

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.

Discount for cobwebs on the tuners?

No, I throw those in.

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

That's a '76 Explorer.

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