https://www.guitars4you.co.uk/guitars/5480-hamer-monaco-111-used-2006/I purchased this Hamer a few months ago - Wish I had kept some original pics - When I acquired it, the trans cherry nitro finish on the front/back only, had been stripped back to natural - Leaving cherry sides and neck only - I contacted Jon
@FelineGuitars who suggested I speak to Rich
@lamf68 about a refin - From then on wards I can only sing the praises of Rich - Rich received the guitar and initial thoughts about a 'cherry' refin/touch up moved on, due to a potential 'blemish' on the spruce top - So a few thoughts passed to and fro with the best option agreed as a solid finish, so just a question of what to choose - Rich sent me a pic of a recent Epi he had worked on and with the Hamer having some retro vibe to it, then we agreed on the same/similar finish - I have to report that no way do my pics do justice to the finish and the work of Rich - Final result is excellent - It looks so cool and classy when viewed in the flesh
