Nope, unless you have hands like a gorilla.

Thank goodness that this gorgeous specimen is in green, or I might have found myself robbing a bank!

I personally love green guitars, but that has got to be one of the two ugliest Hamers ever built.

Any finalists you can mention for the other prize?

Glenn Tipton earns that honor.

 

This may be third…

It was special ordered for finger style playing rather than a pick.  That always turned me off of that bass.

My worst Hamer mistake, sure didn't turn out like I expected. I wanted a 4 string but they wouldn't build it and someone talked me into the 8 string. I should have just ordered another B4M, I probably could have got two for not much more than the price of that one.

Is that way the octave strings are on the other side than they usually are? Also looks like the saddles have been messed with a bunch. I guess the strings were originally farther apart.
