DaveL Ah yes, the Koa FM. That was a unique guitar. Jim (who sold me the guitar BTW...) can you add anything about how you got that guitar? the thing was just about the coolest looking Hamer I've ever owned... Dave Sorry for the late reply, I just happen to walk into my local Hamer dealer and it was hanging on the wall. It immediately caught my eye. This particular dealer (now out of business) was known for ordering unusual Hamer's and that happened to be one of them. I ended up buying it obvisously. Like many of us GAS raised it's ugly head and I chose to sell several items before acquiring anything new. That was one of the items, as well as a Special which you bought and a blackcherry burst T51.
