If you look closely, you'll see that this guitar has a bound headstock. This tiny detail sets it apart from the ~~stock~~ versions of this guitar ~~made in the 1990s~~.

If you look closely, you'll see that this guitar has a bound headstock. This tiny detail sets it apart from the production versions of this guitar.

I got my Hamer Sunburst Studio GATC in 1991-ish, and played it a lot. Unfortunately, it got damaged, so I shipped it back to Hamer Guitars for repair. About four months later, I got a phone call from none other than [https://dantzig.com/workshop/who-i-am/ Jol Dantzig]. He was very apologetic because, somehow, someone had misinterpreted the damage as a factory blemish. Hamer didn't sell "B" stock. Their practice was to crush substandard guitars. He was calling to tell me that my guitar had been crushed. He said that he had inspected the neck and could see that I had loved and played that guitar a lot. He offered to make me a new one and asked if there were any special features that I'd like. The only thing I wanted was a bound headstock to go with the bound neck.
