Victor (Fret Friend) Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Guy is a crazy liar saying he spent $1200 on a refin!!! Unless he's prepared to drop his price by $800; it will never sell! I had a 1992 import Diablo. I put a Gotoh Floyd + EMG's on it and had it re-sprayed Ernie Ball Slinky Pink. Guitar stood me at almost $800 and it sold on eBay for around $350. It's an import and regardless of the upgrades, it will only sell at a used import price. Guy is a dreamer...

Steve Haynie Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The cost of adding a veneer or real maple top would make the refin more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustKid Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 5 minutes ago, Steve Haynie said: The cost of adding a veneer or real maple top would make the refin more expensive. Absolutely. There was a lot of work done to this guitar. Not saying it's making it more expensive, but veneer, repaint, good hardware - that's a lot of $$$, more than $500 easily. Again , investing into any guitar only make the value go down, no matter how good you make it sound. But...it's a free country, he can price it as high as he wants, as long as he does not try to pass it for something else. In a couple of weeks the reality will kick in, and he'll bend the price in half... and then some more. But that guitar is a dead weight for any collection that's for sure.

CuseFan559 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I don't doubt how much $ the seller spent on the top and refin. I paid 2k just for paint over mahogany. Wouldn't have done that on an import though. Was a gift for my son so resale value was never in the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from my fingers Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Crazy, next time go see Marty Bell, you could have saved 1200 +, his work is so good cant say enough good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just because you dump a lot of money into something doesn't mean it's ever going to be worth more than a regular import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 5 hours ago, ptm1diver said: If he put $1200 into a refinish, the least one of you could have done is send him a USA Hamer decal. 😏 Considering he's apparently a HFC member, I'm surprised he didn't already realize that the little 'USA' on the end of the logo can make or break a refinished Hamer, as far as authenticity and origin goes. There's been PLENTY of bad Ebay refins mentioned here on the HFC as a reference. Regardless of logo, there's also plenty of clues from the guitar itself that it's an import model (generic no name tuners? I don't think so.). As in everything, it pays to do the homework.
