Bennyboy-UK Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 No fucking affiliation. No strings on the bloody thing. Shit Photos and, no apparent understanding of care that the name on the headstock is the same as the description or title. https://reverb.com/uk/item/41251626-def-leppard-original-steve-clark-hammer-phantom My guess - owned by someone who has no interest in guitars or playing them - or anything to do with them. Whatever. PS. Fuck off.
Sugartune Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Typos herppenz. Not the ind of the wrild. No strings though?!? That’s a total dealbreaker for me.

Bennyboy-UK Posted July 16, 2021 Author Posted July 16, 2021 Could have copied the writing on the headstock though surely?!
Bennyboy-UK Posted July 16, 2021 Author Posted July 16, 2021 Just going to test something... Right, here we go: Vinager Veeegyer Viggeer Viggen Volkswagen .... Nope, I see what you mean, its impossible.

But we've all seen enough "Hammers" for sale in this country alone to fill a hardware store chain. The description is full of grammatical errors and typos as well.

That reminds me of the old Mandolin Bros. catalogs that the late Stan Jay used to write the descriptions for, occasionally he'd throw in 'not responsible for typografficle eros'. If somebody's buying the guitar as a 'collectible' and wants to spend stupid amounts of money, they're probably gonna have it as a wall hanger to drool over rather than to play anyway. It is a great way to keep someone else from picking it up and playing it, though!
scottcald Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 For that price, I'd think he'd at least include some nails.

I think it was the band Pavement (or their label Matador) that had in their legal copy on albums “All rights reserved. All wrongs reversed.”

Travis Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 The sustain block trem is not a deal breaker for me. But the paddle headstock sure is… 6-in-line was the best thing Hamer ever did to the Phantom…

Yeah, those were the days.
ebradfordrich Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 I’ve always wanted to own one of Steve’s guitars. Not this one, however.
