serial Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nope, not an April Fool's joke, I'm just not playing in a band setting and have other interests and priorities these days. Everyone knows this guitar and how awesome and rare it is. A complete custom order in 1985, I hunted this guitar down for 17 years after seeing it in Sam Moss' shop in Winston-Salem, NC shortly after it arrived. One of only 4-5 carved top originalSunbursts, it just doesn't get much better than this one. Of all of the carved-tops, this one has the nicest figure and color. Guitar is pristine and has been very well cared for over the years and plays and sounds great. One tiny finish chip (visible in big photo) that is a stupidly simple fix. Bottom photo more accurately captures what this one looks like. With original rectangular Hamer HSC with Sam Moss swag included. Featured in my Hamer book, I'm sure this is one that I'll regret letting go someday. $6000, which is a bit less than the quote I got to build another one when they finally agreed to think about making one a few years back. Not really looking for trades at this point, but there are a VERY few things I might consider as a partial trade, but would still be looking for mostly cash deal. My HFC box is full, so if interested, email me at 'serialsteve79AThotmailDOTcom'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Prof Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I was trying to think of a non-guitar analog to this guitar. To me, it is the musical equivalent of a Boss 429 Mustang: Custom-built in an extremely small quantity with an emphasis on exceptionally high performance, muscle car features sans a lot of garish bling.

So...perhaps this is a better analog: 1970 King Cobra prototype styled by Larry Shinoda and powered by a massive, hemi-headed Boss 429 V-8.
