We are the original purchaser of this guitar from the manufacturer and it has never left the store. It is in extremely good condition given the amount of time that we have had it. It is a 1996 Hamer made in the U.S.A. The whammy bar is also included and fits very snug in the socket. If you have any other question splease don't hesitate to ask, I was unable to find any finish flaws or blemishes on the guitar under close inspection other than some wear from aging on the hardware.

The
Hamer Mirage series was introduced in 1994 and were
upscale double cutaway models but never really caught on like PRS. They
only produced a total number of 864 guitars. That's a shame because
they seem like great instruments. The series started of with the Mirage I
(GMIR I) in 1994 of which only 344 were produced. A year later the
Mirage II (GMIR II) was introduced of which there are only 262 in
existence. The first two Mirage guitars were then replaced by the Mirage
Maple Top (GMIM) in 1998 of which there are 258 units.
Comes with brand new Gator GWE-ELEC-WIDE hard case.
