Is there a cigarette burn on the headstock? Do the electronics work correctly?

When you hear that your favorite band is doing a "North American" tour do not get your hopes up. That usually means the USA, and not Canada or Mexico.

There were two versions of The Beach Boys touring. The most commonly seen group has Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. The other was Brian Wilson under his own name with Al Jardine. Some of the band members were the same. A friend tried to see Brian Wilson every time he was within a four hour drive. It had to do with recognizing where the true talent and creativity was behind The Beach Boys. I only saw the Mike Love version. I wish I had seen Brian Wilson.

That looks like a good deal, but the $800 shipping charge kills it for me.

The price is where I would stop.

Take your time selling. Hold out for a fair price. You can only sell a guitar once, so get the most while you can. A fair price is what people are paying, not what people are asking.

@Crywolf do not listen to @kizanski. He is a little "out of tune." $11,550 is a great deal for 33 Hamers in one bulk sale. I will be glad to drive out to pick them up in person to save you the trouble of finding boxes and shipping them. I will be glad to send half a twenty dollar bill as a deposit, and give you the other half when we meet. I am just glad to be of help.

Here is a 1980 commercial. Guess who sang the jingle.

I say it is original. The 80's were a time when splatters, drips, and smears were trendy. There were other custom finishes from that time period, some of them one-offs. If you pass on the bass tell the seller $350 is waiting on him if he will ship it to me.

@draelyc your own account might not be set to receive messages. Go look into your account settings. That would prevent you from being able to send a private message.

I wonder if they have the guitar, and this is all hype-building.

Yeah, well Geddy Lee played a Rickenbacker, so that makes it a priority! Actually, I want that Eagle.

How many of the old regulars have we lost to Facebook?

I still want it. It can go with a Leslie cabinet and a grand piano from gig to gig. A few SVT cabs need to be there, too.

Roy Clark owned a Porsche or two. His favorite car was his Rolls Royce. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/leake-auction-company-to-sell-hee-haw-host-roy-clarks-personal-car-collection-without-reserve-300858423.html

You know that Alembic started out with The Grateful Dead's crew. This might be the result of too many mushrooms while in the design phase.
