That one is tempting. I am sure it will not last long.

email from them : Hey Matthew! That one is currently going for $1699.99. Our vintage specialist, Kent, is at the shop today if you wish to give him a call about it. The number is 813-254-8880 if you're interested. Skyler Alexandre maybe it too much attention too quickly...

FYI : Not affiliated, I saw this on Instagram. https://www.replayguitar.com/ has a 1996 Hamer USA Standard in stock , flame top with dot inlays. $1700 , other then the pic on Instagram I know nothing about it. its not on there web site. you actually have to call.

Look nice. Congrats. Most Carvins always seem like they are well built. Can only say i have played 3-4 of them over the years. Had a all mahogany neck thru tele style for a short time in the 90's , it was an OK guitar, but there are many many OK guitar brands out there. To each there own. I am sure some would say the same about our sacred Hamers.

At one time I had used 2007 Mahogany Standard in Vintage Orange that was originally ordered though them. I think some one here has it now.

Great find. Excited to see more photos. Have one only 11 numbers away from that one...

I went to his shows for many year until the ticket prices went crazy. It hard to justify most big names shows at all due to the $$.

Have finally gotten some time this weekend to work on guitar projects. Many of string changes, pickup swaps, got a input jack that needs replaced in an old Sunburst. Crank up some tunes and get to it!!!

if you like how it sounds & plays. Don't mess with it. if anything , give it a few months before ya change the configuration.

My thoughts exactly. Many may not have liked that guitar, but other would have enjoyed learning to play with one. Did they have a meeting at Gibson to decide how we can screw up more then the "we know who you r are video" ? I think they have topped it!

I have my grandfather old Heathkit tube tester he built back in the 50’s . It will check just about every tube available at the time frame . But it’s not for sale .

Find a local trophy shop that has a laser, just bring them design and you back plate. Done. I am 99% sure that how it was done one the ordinal batch. I have 3 with the checkerboard logo. They are just burning off the black Anodizing. Over time the Aluminum could oxidize in the exposed ares & turn white and little powdery.

Any PRS, the McCarty is the only model i have ever connected with at all, even then the 90-mid 2000's McCarty still feel & play different then then model new models. PRS have outstanding build quality & most look damn fine, but just don't like how they play or sound. I've had several over the years , after I sold off the last one i decided they were not for me.

Is this one a HFC approved color ? 25/50 VAC w/reverb

Late 90's - early 2000's you could get 80's Specials , Vectors , prototypes for $400-600 all day long , if you could find them, there were not many shops that had used inventory online. When one popped up it went quickly. I use to make weekend trips to different areas and look up the music & pawn shops up in the phone book and plan out the day. Would always ask do you have any old Hamers around. It paid off once , the guy went in the back and bought out a Sunburst, still have that one. Best two deals were the GC by Hamer Chaparral for $150 , it was missing the Floyd rose, of course the Watson for $550 + $60 for import duty fee. Remember the USED gear by mail catalogs? The Hamers that showed up there were always gone by the time I called.
