Mine has an ebony board, which I really like. It also has a 1st fret inlay, which some around here don't like, but I do.

My Studio Custom has an ebony board and it spoils me every time I play it.

My un-chambered 06 Monaco Elite is 8.4 pounds, which to me an ideal single cut weight.

2500$ sounds like a pretty damn good deal to me if it's a nos guitar. That price seems to be the going rate for these on the used market right now. Try finding another nos, unplayed one, out there. They are not making them anymore. The HFC really have the cheapest sons a bitches as members when it comes down to paying money for a guitar. Especially if they are Hamer's. 😁 😄 😁 😄

I owned a 2002 Monaco Elite in BCR Burst that was chambered. It weighed seven pounds and 13 ounces. The chambered Monaco Elites seem to be relatively rare.

With a description like this, and a stupid asking price, no wonder they're never going to sell it! "Featuring a mild weight that is far more bearable than a solid maple guitar, this Korina beauty hums with resonance and articulation. Be on your best performance with this one-of-a-kind guitar, because it will pick up every dynamic of your playing style--the perfect streaks as well as the accidental notes that you played"

I was lucky enough to see Frank Zappa live on five different occasions. A guy I knew would bring a blow up sex doll to every Zappa show in Cleveland, walk right down the aisle and hand it to Frank on stage. The last time I saw Frank in Cleveland, when my buddy came down the isle carrying a classic blow up sex doll, Frank stopped the band, turned around, picked up something on a table behind him, and when he turned back around he had a chin strap dildo with the dildo straight up on the top of his head. My buddy hands Frank the doll, Frank Fkn Zappa takes that blow up doll, inserted the dildo and proceeded to "spin it on his head" as the band played a never heard before and never heard again song called "I think Ill go to Cleveland and spin a blow up sex doll on my head." The fact that Frank Zappa took the time to write this song and be prepaired with a custom strap on dildo ready for a moment that may or may not happen was priceless entertainment that could never be impromptu repeated again.

I had a Monel GoldTop P90 that weighed 12lbs 3oz. Heaviest guitar I ever owned. Sounded frickin awesome!! I was younger then, nothing over 8 lbs now!

Beautiful guitar, but 11 lbs? On a Custom Order?? HTF does that even happen? Did the guy ask for 'something heavier than a Les Paul' and they filled it with lead? Jeezus! I can understand it happening on a regular production model, but not on a CO. I think I know what killed the poor bastard.

Being a fairly competent guitarist really is going from feeling like one of the best to ever do it one show to feeling like you should just sell all your gear and never mentioned every having been a musician the next.
