Hey folks! I picked up this (what I believe is a) 1987 Hamer Chaparral for free from Craigslist a couple of months ago. To say it needs A LOT OF WORK is an understatement. Do you think it's worth restoring? The single EMG pups are the golds, and the humbucker is the copper. It's filthy, with all the screws rusted out. I plugged it into an amp and, surprisingly, there is no scratchiness from the pots or switches. I could get a reaction from both single pups, but not the humbucker - I still have to open the back to take a look at the electronics. There's also a crack/checking(?) in the neck about 4 inches down from the headstock. Pretty sure that this is the pup set that was installed: https://www.emgpickups.com/guitar/sa-sa-89.html
