Great color too

I think one of our other locals might be going after that one. I've got too much stuff, otherwise I would have already attempted to snag it. It looks pretty clean for a 40 year old guitar, -it's aged a lot better than I have. The Fender type bridge is unusual, I don't think I've ever owned a Hamer with that bridge.

Someone could grab it just to have it for trade bait.

They're pretty standard on a lot of trem equipped Hamers... it's called a "Sustain Block trem"... the tremolo arms are notorious for ending up missing

Hmm…. My wife is traveling to Seattle for work next week. 

If only it had the appropriate 6-inline headstock…😜

I have the 12 string version of that 83. The case alone has to be worth at least $250

Agreed that a 6 inline works much better with that body style.

I grew to appreciate the old style headstock long ago
