Has to be one of the earliest, if not THE earliest, Hamer Standard that did not go on tour in the 70s, yes? Seems like all the others I have read about from this era were all purchased by touring guitarists. Obviously this is pure conjecture on my part, and the OP would know for sure, but my guess is that she would be the cleanest existing pre 1978 Hamer Standard. If I were buying the Hamer brand from FMIC, I would put this guitar in the shop as a symbol of our production goal and of the history of the brand. Maybe someone should take some measurements and make some tracings before she is sold? She is "the Ultimate" after all. Doesn't get better than this one.
