VECTOR Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 Found this on the Verb.

cmatthes Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 SO much wrong with that. Neither Gilby nor GnR NEVER played that guitar onstage. Ever.

Drew816 Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 They'll be putting swamp land on the southeast coast of the UK up for sale next week; keep an eye out! I have no idea if they ever used Hamer's in any capacity but this is wrong on so many levels. As an crowned/bound import, what is this worth, $800 USD?

topekatj Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 Maybe the seller was just confused and the axe was actually used on the ‘Chinese Democracy’ tour!

HamerCustomEr Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Yeah, clearly no "Hamer USA" on the headstock. Note also that there is no mention of any case. In this picture, you can see a paper-thin gig bag sitting on a huge flight case (obviously this flight case is not included in the sale). And a COA from Gilby Clarke? What a joke! This ripoff is probably intended to fuel a COcAine habit, is more like it.

That ain’t it.

That ain’t it. Just sharing the article previously shared here. My bad. I'd love to see the real item, if there are any pictures... "double-stained" sounds like something special coming from you!
