Seen a Hamer Phantom A5?

Based on the original 1981 Hamer Prototype, the Phantom A5 came out a couple years later and you don't see too many floating around today. They've got a triple-bucker pickup in the bridge.

Originally they had a paddle shaped, three on a side headstock, then later went to a pointed six on a side design. Looks like this:
