jcg64 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I am the proud original owner of this rare beauty - 1987 Virtuoso.
atquinn Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Interestingly, I'd say that finish is very Carvin-like.-Austin
hamerhead Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Nice entrance. Pull up a chair and tell us about it.
RichRS6 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, more pics please and where did you get it from and why ?
serial Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I'd be interested in adding the serial number to the Hamer Registry-I don't believe I have that one!
MCChris Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Never seen a Kahlered one before. How many of those were made?
sixesandsevens Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Way to make an entrance! Welcome to the HFC!
Andrew Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 KK Downing's white one was Kahlered. In the ad. both Had Kahlers, note the blank rear of the seafoam one. The white one might be KK's. I guess less than a third of them were Kahlered, which ony means half a dozen or so.
specialk Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Just kick the door down and come on in! Details, we want details. Oh yeah, and pics. We want pics too.
jcg64 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 I got my Virtuoso through a local music shop (now closed) that was the Hamer distributor in my area. I placed my order in late 1987 hoping to get the guitar for Christmas, but did not receive it until May of 88. It's been with me even since. I had requested the scalloped maple fretboard, the Kahler, and the pearl blue finish. Here are a few more pics.
jcg64 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Welcome aboard! Favorite non-Carvin, eh? What is this Carvin you speak of?

BTMN Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Now THAT is a Mint guitar. Nice looking guitar you have really taken care of. Over 25 years of good times.
cmatthes Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 One of the coolest Hamer finishes of that era!
