Do we have a member of this forum in Houston, TX area who can stop by and solve the mystery of the pickguard and backpanel?
Or someone can call the store and ask an employee about what's on the back of the guitar.
more info added by the seller.
Heavily Modded:
- Reshaped neck to Les Paul Spec,
- Tremolo System Removed,
- Gibson Humbucker Bridge Pickup,
- Seymour Duncan SH-1b Neck Pickup/\.
Modded neck would be a big NO for me.
they've had it for months, it started at $5K. Condition is rough judging by headstock pics. I am sure there are other issues as well, you just can't really tell by their low res pics.
this guy talks about preserving history, but he eliminated nice original Zebra finish and replaced it with tacky green. Preserving history would have been to repaint it in such a way that Zebra survives the mods.
Strange, I tried on different browsers and on my phone and the listing is gone.
I thought it would be nice to preserve all photos here on the forum, as many members liked this guitar.
there are bunch of Hamer branded t-shirts on eBay, they are unofficial, likely made by various small sellers, these days you can make shirts with any logo/theme.
