The guy took fate in his own hands instead of moaning, a great story of a Hamer redo:

Wow - nice piece of work
Shame the paint job wasn't good as the graphic looked great in the pics
(I'm stuck somewhere in 1986 I guess)

Awesome! You'd never think that used to be banged up with a zebra paintjob. (Not that that isn't a bad thing) :D

A Zebra paint job is great if you want to camoflage a bodgy job. Man did that guy buy a lemon. But he shure turned it into a gem of a guitar.

Fantastic restoration job, but to be really unkind I don't think it looks as nice as it did with the original factory finish - I love that bold orangey-red sunburst Hamer use.

the restored axe looks gorgeous - he obviously knows what he's doing, nice job.  the original finish was a bit OTT ('clown' tops they call them on LPs I think)
