Thanks for the heads-up jimbilly! 

Turns out, this mystery Proto is also listed on Reverb by Imperial Guitars, a well-respected bricks-and-mortar seller here in SoCal https://reverb.com/item/91723785-1982-hamer-usa-prototype-electric-guitar-faded-pink-finish-w-ohsc

Sold - thanks Rob!

I'm selling my Morgan MVP23 combo in Twilight Chilewich. Recent tube transfusion and Studio Slips padded cover included. Local pickup in West Los Angeles. HFC price $1,050. Reverb listing here: https://reverb.com/item/89101190-morgan-mvp23

I too stumbled on that Youtube clip yesterday.  Fascinating.  Those big Robert Palmer hits are surely the most listened-to recordings of the Proto.  And the red-on-red colorway could be none more 80s!

Lyle's playing on the second Jellyfish record is beautiful; a masterclass in power-pop guitar IMHO and a real inspiration to me at the time (and ever since).

Apologies if this has been discussed here before but... does anyone know - exactly - what duty and/or fees are payable when a guitar is imported to the US from overseas? Here's the situation:  I am considering purchasing a non-American made instrument from a reputable guitar store in Europe. ...

It’s a Goldo Les Trem. Totally reversible mod as I understand it.

It feels like whoever ordered this really wanted a PRS.  Each to their own... 

Lovely color and top!

The indents of the serial number are visible, but only one or two digits readable.  # starts with a 5 (wait, maybe that means its a '95 not a '96?). Neck is medium, certainly not skinny.  Dimensions are:  0.850" thickness at the 2nd fret, 0.900" thickness at the 12th fret, nut width is 1.675"...

I offered this here a couple of years ago, but am now relisting for a lower price.  It's an Eclipse from (I believe) 1996, originally black that I had professionally refinished in vintage white by Wilkins Guitars in Van Nuys, CA.  The color I requested was inspired by a photo of a vintage/aged...

I can personally vouch for the chewy goodness of the Choralflange.  It will cover yer standard CE-2 territory and much more besides.  Absolutely nails the 80s FM rock chorus tones and wobbly Black Hole Sun vibrato too.  It does have a substantial footprint, but sounds so good I have made room...

It’s a Special. Assuming the HBs are stock and you have the original case, I’d say it’s worth $900 - $1,000 in the condition you describe.
