This is a rare opportunity to own one of the Rarest USA Guild electrics out there!
When Hamer USA closed Fender kept the luthiers on staff to build the higher end USA Guilds in New Hartford Connecticut. USA Hamers are considered the "ultimate" when it comes to guitar making. This one of a kind USA Guild prototype was hand built by the skilled hands of Hamer luthiers. A good friend of mine was working for Guild and when Fender sold Guild to Cordoba in 2014 they ordered all the prototypes & unfinished guitars to be destroyed. My friend who was working for guild saved this and one other ES-339 style prototype (which I also for sale on our page) from their demise. They stamped the back of the headstocks "prototype".
Guitar is essentially a Les Paul Special/Jr killer
Finer than any Gibson custom shop Les Paul Special or juniors I have ever played. There are some small dings and minor scratching on the back please see photos
