It might be for a relist with the correct date.

His asking price is close to double what that guitar should sell for, but then again, it also isn't a 1980 model - it's later (from 1982). Those guitars DO fetch well more than $3k in nice shape, and the '70s models sell for WAY more than anything from the '80s.

He was also way drowned out by the Roots - especially two drummers who had no idea what songs they were playing. It was a clashy, crappy mess, unfortunately. Always been an Ace fan, but if his cover of "The Joker" isn't just an awful joke, then maybe it's time for him to hang up the Les Paul. That's TERRIBLE!!

And the others are continuing to reinvent themselves and break new ground? Well, Kiz, they DID come up with new costumes for the last tour and all...

It sold for either $1,299 (with the PAFs) or $995 without them from Dave Kenney's Guitar Gallery in 1990.

One of the coolest Hamer finishes of that era!

No need to save it, Jim! I'll spare you the agony of waiting...that one ain't happenin'!!

No wounds until that becomes a sig line!

As I understand it, Mike will be more receptive to "tweaks" and custom work than Hamer had been in recent years up until near the end.

The "most people" bit was intentional on my part - purposely worded that way, because some people want things that just aren't going to get made...

Ionel - Are you planning on ordering something with a Standard-style headstock or "just being curious"? I think a lot of people have questions that truly aren't able to be answered at this early stage of the game. As far as something being "legal" or "illegal", Mike is going to stay on the clear side of things. If an order comes in, he'll probably have to evaluate it at that time, and may choose to make an artistic modification if necessary. Personally, I don't see a problem with doing something that is closer to the more recent/modern (thicker) Standard style headstocks. Keep in mind, Shishkov USA is a custom guitar shop that will make most people's guitar dreams come true, but Mike is not trying to be Hamer USA. His guitars will have HIS mojo, blood, sweat and tears on and in them...well, hopefully, not the blood and tears part! If you are looking for a Hamer, buy a Hamer - there are plenty of those around and always will be - even a glut of new, unsold stock. If however, you want a personalized, truly custom creation, with real collaboration between the customer/player and luthier, Mike's the man.

They are also two of the nicest, coolest people you'd ever want to meet. Lots of good stuff ahead, for sure!

Mr. Logic...he's a pain in the arse. Since when exactly does logic factor into guitar buying/selling?

The Soapbar22, DGT and CU22/12 are the only PRS guitars I've been stirred by in the last 15+ years - and I LIKE PRS guitars. I am in the factory at least once or twice a year, and am always checking things out, but those are the only ones that I'd consider buying because they're just so damned nice. I need to stop clicking on this thread.

^^ Ditto. Somebody needs to buy it now and then sell it to me in a year or two. :D

Wow. That's spectacular!

I am out of town again this week, but sent pics to the first responder. I have not heard back from him in several days, but also have had limited PM and email access for the last couple of weeks. Still there...

That sound still haunts me in my nightmares...

Here are some pics I took of #0004 in Rockford last year:

You are an idiot.

It got the "relic" treatment Elduave did not request. Somehow, he still speaks to me...

Actually, I dropped it a while before that! Photo shoot on a windy day...not always a good idea. I don't know whether I threw up or crapped myself or both when that happened.

Just because it sounds good through headphones in the bedroom or basement does not mean that'll translate well at gig volumes/with a band!

If his tone sucks that badly, just make him ditch the Heritage (or Carvin) he's playing. :D
