No affiliation. Looks clean, Nice burst and top, wraptail bridge, back contour (?) Can I borrow it if you buy it?

That’s cool. Mid-90s, my fave Hamer era. Medium neck carves, nice lumber. Studios/Standards were especially kick-ass during that time.

This is a question for you guys in the US.

What's your take on considering buying a guitar off Craigslist over there in the US if you live overseas? If you yourself lived over in another country, would you buy one off Craigslist or is it too risky?

I’ve bought something off Craigslist once. Personally, I would only do it again if I could pick up in person…

That would be a pretty expensive journey if I flew from Australia to the US and found out that it wasn't suitable 😅
