Hamer Centaura USA 1990

1990 USA made Hamer Centaura, a really very nice and quite rare superstrat. Hamer's quality should need no introduction.

To the best of my knowledge, all original apart from the baseplate of the Floyd, the two Floyd mounting posts and the neck pickup.

For some reason, a previous owner filed the leading edges of the bridge baseplate which was undisclosed at the time of buying. The threads of one of the mounitng posts had also stripped, also undisclosed. These were replaced with correct German made Schaller parts, not cheap. A small chip came off the paint when the mounting posts were done, see pics. It now stays in tune longer than your perm will stay curly. The original baseplate is included, however unless you enjoy being wildly out of tune, this is best used as a paperweight or worn around the neck on a swish gold chain.

I believe it's an ash body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard. Pickups are Seymour Duncan JB (later known as the SH-4) in the bridge, which we can all agree is the finest bridge pickup on this or any other planet, SD SSL-1 in the middle and a DiMarzio Pro Track in the neck (installed by a previous owner, I do not have the original SSL-1).

Controls are vol, tone, 5 way switch and a mini-toggle "thickener"

Like all good, old guitars, it has been played but is in generally good condition. Everything works as it should but there are a few small dinks and blemishes, to be expected on a vintage 36 year old guitar. Please see pics.

Comes with Hamer case, bar, strap with Dunlop straplocks, card, etc.

Lowballers, please don't bother. This site is full of reissues and fake-wear replicas. This guitar, however, is the real deal.

Pics taken today and indicative of condition. Based in South Tipperary. Any questions, please ask.
