These early Korean Hamers are excellent playing and sounding with two Kent Armstrong mini Humbuckers. The pickups sound a lot like Gibson Firebirds. Well close anyway! There is a paint crack near the heel that only goes through the paint, not the wood. There is a small paint chip on the neck as well as pictured. It didn't bother me when playing. I'm selling all of my old gear as my rocking days are over.
