Siaip Ciuvas Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Hi,I hate myself while typing this, but this is life. I've got a new duties at work, which involves heavy travelling, so my music hobby is doomed. Since I won't be actively playing and recording, I will be selling most of my gear in next couple of months, but all the Hamers I will try to keep inside the brotherhood, as these are fairly exlusive ones. The first is pointy headstock Vector... I was lusting after it for over a year, bugged Ionel to sell it to me, and alas, it is the first to go. Great rock/metal machine. Fantastic pickup choice (OBL, don't remember which ones exactly, will check later) - and these were custom installed in factory, as I can see on body routing (you can't change to standart humbs without extra routing). Neck is somewhat modern carve. It sounds and plays phenomenally well and it's paint aged really cool. I will take more photos after a week once I'm back home, in the meantime here is a teaser photo I've lended from Ionel.I am looking around 1500 + shipping, which basically is what I have in it. Oh, and it comes in a hardshell case.disclaimer: I may change my opinion about selling it any time, so I reserve a right to delete this ad at any given time without a notice. If anyone is unsure about dealing with me, I can present some refferences from reputable HFCiers.
Shark Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Very Very Nice. Good that I'm a bass player Good luck with the sale.
polara Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 A stand-up guy, trustworthy seller, and fine player. Don't let the Lithuania address scare you off... we had a few beers in Vilnius and he's "One of Us" LOL.
bubs_42 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Thanks for that. I have really just spent my last penny or I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.
zorrow Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Oh boy! That was my guitar, yes -the one I sold you. Hope it will end in good hands -as good as yours, man. To potential buyers: Siaip Ciuvas is a class act. That guitar is a killer one, very unique. I made the mistake of selling it and sending it to the other side of the ocean (financial reasons, like it seems to be the case with Siaip now), but I give you my word you won't be disappointed with it: the OBL's + the aged mahogany + the nitro lacquer + the sustainblock = sonic nirvana. I do miss that lady! PS: To Siaip: financial hurries also pass -I'm talking by my own experience.
Siaip Ciuvas Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Ionel - if you want to buy it back, you have first dibs! The case with my financial hurries is that these are not only financial... I want to play guitars, not keep them in the case in the dark corner of my garage. I am not a collectioneer. I will slim down to three essentials I always pick up to play when I am home lately - The Riff, Reddie (Monaco Elite Mahogany) and Studio Custom, but it could be that I will keep only Reddie one day if I will see that I won't be playing again anytime soon. Decisions, decisions...
zorrow Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Just purchased my Dean TCV, so "the boss" wouldn't approve. BTW, I also tended to play other guitars instead of this one -fear of hurting her, maybe? In any case, I sincerely hope it will go to a well-caring home. It IS an awesome axe, no BS!
Siaip Ciuvas Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 That is why I am trying to keep it in the circle of HFC. There are couple of good guys who are interested, so let's hope it all will be good.
zorrow Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Ok, here some pictures of it I still have around: One interesting fact about this guitar is that it's almost 100% like the guitars Jeff Waters from Annihilator used to play in the late 80's/early 90's. I think the sole difference is the color (Waters' were red and black) and the gold hardware. Hope will get the right guys GAS-ing.
Siaip Ciuvas Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Thanks Ionel! I am 2000 miles away from home, so will take my pictures end of the week when I'm back
Siaip Ciuvas Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 ok, got few travel free weeks before I go on vacation and did my inventory list of what I want to keep. This is still for sale, if anyone is interested. As well I am selling most of my gear, so if anyone thinks I own something they always wanted, let me know.
HAMERMAN Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Beautiful guitar, sorry you have to sell it.If you are going to travel and still want to have something to play try finding a Steinberger Spirit GT-Pro. Being headless and having a small body they are very travel friendly without resorting to removable necks or any other siliness. They take some getting used to but at least you would still get to play.

Do you have any friend travelling from Hungary to Canada or USA anytime soon? Please PM-me. Not sure I should put my money back in there, but this one definitively was a guitar I hated to sell --I did just because I needed the money, I didn't play it that much (the neck is a tad thin for my tastes) and because I knew you were going to take care of it. However, it's still a TOP metal axe.
