jim777 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hey folks I have a small window in which i have permission to buy a guitar lol. (I am selling some stuff to cover the price, but the bride is cool with me spending before I have the cash.) After Friday I'll need to go back to the spend only what I've gotten from sales mode. I have about $1500 US to spend, not sure if that actually gets me one but thought I'd ask, right? You don't shoot you don't score. Ebony board, boomers, Floyd, case... I think that covers it. I know its a long shot, but 'the old band is getting back together' and I would rather go out with a Cali than something else. Thanks for reading jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim777 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 I know, I'm psyched I had an RP-1 and a sad Peavey digital combo back in the day and now have a Mk IV and an AX8, so feeling pretty good about the whole thing LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devrock Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yeah, I've done that "I'll sell something to cover it" move before. We know how that ends!! (with two guitars :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim777 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm going to grab this, but I will revisit by Cali quest in the near future (hopefully June). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobereeno Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I've let other instruments get in the way of my quest for a setneck boomered Californian. 20 years later....still don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim777 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I appreciate the concern. But I was after this guitar to begin with, and when it became unavailable I decided to look for another Cali instead. When this became available again, I grabbed it. So, happy ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin4 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 psa: https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/msg/d/hamer-custom-guitar/6565464341.html with boomers! This HAMER guitar was custom designed and painted by HAMER and is MINT! Used once by famous players from DEVO, PRETENDERS and others from Akron, Ohio. Everything pictured is included. NOT MY AD.....

To my one simple question, sent me 3 messages via ebay telling me things i am not really interested in, like the story of his life and current events, and was pushing for off-ebay deal so hard that i just decided to split. Sounded like a grandpop who thinks he just came across some holy grail ans was doing a big favor offering it for sale. Nice guitar thou... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Little bigger than your purse but a boomer non-the-less. https://www.ebay.com/itm/132617189361?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 Not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyboy-UK Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Reaaaaaalllllly expensive considering its all original and in excellent shape. ... apart from the silly knob, and the fact that a random pick guard was screwed into the front of it which one (me) might suggest was a dick move...

If this one went for $2250, the black one seems overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reading jim Sorry dude your measly $1500 will no way get you a boomered Cali. I bought a boomered Cali 2 years ago for more than that and sold it for more still.

There's a red Cali Elite FM that has traded hands here several times for less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim777 Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yeah, my brother bought this one for $1100 (it was staying for a long weekend ) I think someone on here owns it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim777 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 It was a tremendous guitar, my favorite of those 3. And the other two were superb as well; the Jem with the Bartolinis had a wider array of sounds but the Cali was just so much fun to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COME ON!! 🙈🙈 I keep forgetting you guys are in the USA, and thus paying USA prices but we Brits have had to suffer years of inflated prices on American guitars 'cause of taxes etc. $1100 for a boomeranged Cali with a bound neck and what looks like an ebony fingerboard is about half the price you'd pay here. Seriously, half....at least. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
