santellavision Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Price seems too high, even for a uncommon color. I recently sold mine for about $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 That is awesome and rare in a couple of ways, but I think the sale is going to be hindered by bad photograph syndrome. I definitely want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veatch Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Unless my brain is cramping up on me, I think that is the first Mon III I've seen with two pickups... Regardless, Kiz is correct. I want it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Kiz is correct. I want it, too. Yeah, it's a Monaco, Not a Monaco III. The seller has the specs for an M3 listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningyen Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 That is mean looking! I love it! But I'd call it a Monaco rather than a Monaco III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veatch Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I assumed since he had the cert, that the cert has it as a Mon III... So, if you do a custom order and spec out one model to be another, which model is it? For now, i agree - It's a Mon, but a cool one. A very cool one.

django49 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Or, just split the difference and call it a Monaco III - I. FWIW, my Custom Order Goldtop (currently my favorite, edging out the Triple Threat and EM Studio, believe it or not) is listed on the cert as a "Monaco". However, the longer scale and other features clearly make it more a SuperPro. Call it what you will, I call it a permanent keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 True dat.....Judge for yourself... .. All korina, ebony board, f-holes, position of the 3 knobs, hard tail, updated pickups.......Not COMPLETELY one or the other. But much closer in feel and sound to the other pair of SuperPros I once had than the since departed "regular" Monaco, which was all stock. Which reminds me......I keep forgetting to replace the poker chip with the one engraved "MaryAnn/Ginger". One step away from perfect..... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texwest Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 This guitar is owned by an old friend of mine who owns many hamers. I talked to him about the guitar and he is going to get good photos up. Those are the stock photos that the Mesa Boogie store had. He's an art professor and awesome photographer so its like the shoemakers kids going shoeless. I can tell you that it is a case queen. He loved it and said it was his favorite Hamer, but he hardly ever played it. I think he was scared he would scratch it up. I'll tell him to get good pics up.

therefore Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hello everyone. This is my listing. Thank you for your comments. I put it up before I had my own pics. It has been updated with some additional images and detail. I have a good number of Hamers and am selling two custom ones this summer. See my feedback selling other high end guitars and audio gear on Reverb for references. I added photos but will add more when I get in a better environment for photographing a black guitar. Now whether it’s a III or not I’m not exactly sure how that is determined - #of pickups? Anyway it’s possible the Mesa store had it wrong. That’s their listed specs. In any case thank you for your interest. It’s a beauty that will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Monaco III would indeed have three pickups. Like the Custom Order Certificate reads, yours is a Monaco. The maple top and the TV Jones pickups are options usually not seen on that model, however. Probably near the end of the line as well. That's a late completion date. Wish I could grab it. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
