Just a punch up for the Quilter UK Superblock. It’s the lightest AC30 you’ll ever play through!

Geez. "Play Authentic" or whatever, dude.

Please use your due diligence when interacting with sellers on the "For Sale" portion of our site. We've had some hacked profiles of long-time members and inactive members purportedly selling high-dollar guitars on here. We're doing our best to keep the scammers at bay, but if you see something that looks odd or get a strange response that involves high pressure, check it out thoroughly from third party sources or use an outside communication (FB, phone/text, etc.) to contact the seller - do not rely solely upon profile information, as a scammer will be able to control that. Also, if it looks too good to be true, well...

Maybe it's just me, but...

It's NOT an original era Sunburst. That's an 89-90 Sunburst "reissue", most likely. It looks like the headstock decal could bean aftermarket replacement, but the photo is so blurry (NOBODY should take a blurry photo in 2026, unless they're still using a flip phone or something) I can't tell for certain. If it has an inked serial number, it would be the original run, if the serial is stamped/impressed and starts with an 8, 9 or 0, then that is your proof. Keep that in mind also, since it won't be as valuable as a 77-85 Sunburst, and even less so with a headstock break. The pickups, if stock, are Duncans, not the original, coveted DiMarzios (PAF or Hamer "Slammer") and there's a wider space between the Sustainblock and the bridge pickup ring. Not sure what the guy is asking for this, but it shouldn't be at a premium.

Ugh. He may be the worst know-nothing on the internet. His voice alone…

The 3 Zandards were all spectacular instruments and each one had a different top selected so they wouldn’t look identical. I remember taking pics of them for Elduave’s shop when they came in and was kinda kicking myself that I had just ordered a Greenburst Standard at the time and couldn’t swing both! The way Standards are getting up there, this one is right on the money and less than what a new Gibson copy of one sells for!

Aw man…I’ve totally done similar things. Ive hear that KK and Ripper are REALLY good out there…

God, that Trogly guy is absolutely horrible.

Uh...

Who the hell is "Rick Neilson"?

Jay Rawks.

That is amazing - truly. Thank dog I’ve got an unreasonable aversion to 1st fret markers that aren’t straight LPC style blocks or I’d legitimately e losing sleep over this one!!

I’m pretty sure that was the beginnings of the video dance that got Billy dropped from his label.

Whoah! Glad to hear you’re on top of things - this could have been SO much worse. Great timing…

Yes. A former member here bought it back in 2015, and then sold it last year.

I reported the ad as well and told them to check the IP address - it's going to show Morocco, not NC. Let's see if they do anything about it. I doubt they will...

Sad to hear that - I know she had been ill over the last few months, but she was always a bright, positive light who gave a lot back. Never really was within my musical tastes, but seemed like one helluva good person and a total icon.

Yes. It is absolutely without a doubt a 1996 Standard.

They weren’t using computers for graphics in the mid 1990s. They would just order Letraset/dry transfer sheets of logos from a custom graphic shop that was typically using some physical screen print font library. It’s crazy what we take for granted now that was impossible to find 30 years ago!

The notoriously weak spot on many Hamers...

Regarding fraudsters on this (or any other) page, try to do some sleuthing and verify that they are who they say they are before sending any money for something. Not sure if asking HFC trivia would help in all cases, but regardless, be very careful of any suspicious dialog or insist that they send a picture of them with the guitar or a pic with something current with the actual guitar. That's not an unreasonable request. Fraudsters are getting more and more sophisticated, and A.I. has only made their scamming easier.

It's possible that there are others - I have a vague recollection of seeing one or two, but I can't think of any specific examples off the top of my head though.

Ha! My wife went to elementary school with Mo. He chased her around one day and hit her with his bike helmet because she told him he wasn't very funny. I guess he won that one!

It appears that DBraz' entire account was hacked by a Moroccan fraudster. That's been shut down and he should be all good now, but definitely a reminder to change your passwords here, there and everywhere at least as often as when you change the batteries in the home smoke detectors!
