The Story

1981 Special Red

This is a vintage 1981 Hamer Special finished in a vibrant red color! This double-cut solidbody features a set-neck construction of mahogany for the body and neck with a 22-fret rosewood board. If you're looking for a thin-necked Rocker this is a great guitar, with a narrower than usual nut width that's very fun for quick riffs and chord changes. The guitar has older DiMarzio humbuckers for the pickups. It's in players-grade very good condition; there's dents and dings scattered around the body, with some wear on the neck around the 3rd fret bass side, and a refinished area on the treble side of the neck around the 12th fret. The frets are low, but still ring out and allow you to play quite fast. It's a very fun player that you'll enjoy for years to come!

Includes: Hardshell Cas
