Oh man... Here we go.  Time for me to kick myself again.
I had the opportunity (actually more than one) to buy that years ago.  Passed like a fool.

According to this, there are three.  Here are two (old BCR Greg post):

Yes, but I recognize the background in the OP's post specifically.

This is a later one than the two in Doc Large's photo above.  

This was ordered by my local Hamer dealer in Winston-Salem, NC in the mid-1980s (Sam Moss).  He also ordered the Electroglides around the same time.

Should that not read "Electraglides"?

They should.  Especially when I'm using a phone to type!  ;)

I know where it is......

The Sam Moss Duoglide. Funny, this guitar is very similar to a PRS Santana. Double cut, 24 frets, maple top, double humbuckers. But the PRS Santana came out in 1995, so this Hamer precedes it with almost 10 years. It has about the same thickness to the body as a 1970's Les Paul. A rare bird.

Gives one the impression that Jol and Paul might have been wise to consult ol' Sam (RIP) in planning new model specs.  But I realize that's not the way the world works.

The silly oversized logo makes it look like part of the headstock is missing.

The tuners covering parts of the logo looks wrong, too.  Those two with smaller Hamer logos look right. 

Well, I'd split the difference. The Hamer logo on earlier pair looks WAY too small to me.

The logos on the DA Sunburst are tiny.

Agreed.  The one pictured above is awesome.

You know, any Hamer could have that with a good belt sander.....

For me the ginormous TRC forces the big logo north.  With a smaller TRC the logo could have been located better.
