$250,000 Hamer?
Painted by the artist that is decorating the Beatles Hotel in England... her artwork murals sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and this one is autographed too.

Not my style, but I'm sure some rich collector/fan will snag it at auction.

Yikes! That's far from my style too...

For that kind of cash, I would imagine you could buy a guitar used by a Beatle...

Strange to me if only because the Beatles didn't play Hamer. That is a very cool art piece, though

I like Hamers, and I like the Beatles, but personally I don't like this.

They look like caricatures. No thanks.

Why would they paint a Hamer with a mural of the Beatles? Why not an Epiphone Casino, or a Hofner Bass, or a Gretsch, or a Rickenbacker. Something one of them actually played???

More fuel to the Paul Is Dead conspiracy. He has an F-hole through his head on this guitar!

Death by F-Hole.

"Paul is dead?"

"Yes, some F-hole killed him."

Cool idea, wrong guitar for the art.

Since the Beatles never played Hamers, I miss the point.

If I were fabulously rich, I would buy that and just play the f*ck out of it, just to "miss the point".

The guitar is not that cool.
How about the show?
It would be cool to see that.
I wonder if they will release it on dvd?
I guess there is always YouTube.
