So you picked it up! Awesome! I was looking and I love that guitar. It's a cross Scepter and Vector. Congrats. -
Shishkov Ultimate #20 for sale
Ham Rex replied to Jeremy's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
I know it's sold. What pickups was this rocking? Thanks. HR -
It seems being an employee of three years had its advantages. Time marches on and less and less people are willing to give up their gems. I'm guessing from your post when you sell it you'll ask the $700 plus shipping right? Congrats on the great deal. Not all of us worked at Hamer to receive such a great deal.

I know I over paid for my 1995 "19" Korina Standard at the time. 8/23 I'm really glad I did. The tones from it and my mint 1999 RNK-VKC "28" are just amazing. I think I got an awesome deal on this one so the two balance out to be decent purchases. If anyone is looking at these and wonder about if they're going like them I'm pretty sure you will. Neck is a thicker "C" carve but super comfortable for me. It's not a shredder Californian neck, which I love as well, but still fast and smooth. If you hate non-scredder necks, this isn't the guitar for you. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. All the best. H R

PSA-Hamer Studio-Goodwill
Ham Rex replied to shankyboy's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
It was an auction. I've never seen a Goodwill auction on their website but I don't check it much so might be just me. -
I can see the appeal to having a guitar store take the shipping risks but here is my thought process. First a HFC member has a chance to purchase the guitar. Those LP type cases are easier to ship. FedEx Offers Pack and Ship for guitars of that size. They provide a box and can professional pack the guitar for around $50. Add the insurance from Fedex of the sale and it brings you to around $125-$175 for shipping, maybe $40 more. Open a free Fedex account and it is less. You can pass the shipping onto the buyer and if FedEx packed it and there is a shipping issue, which I've never had using this method, insurance claim should be easier to collect as they packed it. There maybe options from repair to total reimbursement. I don't feel the same about UPS. I would only ship FedEx. Many of the guitars I've purchased I've supplied the shipping label and asked the seller to use the FedEx Pack and Ship method and either offered my account number or provided funds after it is packed. The rectangle cases can be a different animal. If it's not a fitted case extra packing material is required to keep the points protected and guitar in place. Trogly offers a "How To" video. https://youtu.be/FQzkfeOVHlA Again I'm just trying to help fellow HFCers keep more money for their treasures and a chance for other HFCers to purchase here instead of scanning all the music stores and missing a chance at a stunning guitar. I'm not berating anyone's choice of how they sell their guitar. I loved both the Quilt Tops. If a HFCer purchased a quilt top and want sell in the future, please reach out. I apologize for any misspelled words, any poor use of the English language. I'm typing on my phone at 4:00 am and cannot copy and paste into Word to help me. Provenance vs Providence lesson learned.

PSA: Hamer Blitz bass in Chiraq
Ham Rex replied to Saul Goodman's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Thanks... I've been trying to buy that Blitz for two years. I think I missed it. It has plugs in the nut holes the seller was going to repair and he stopped communicating in the middle on negotiations. Damn... I want a Blitz with a Floyd. -

That's great! Enjoy! I've have a Scarab with a rare Sustain bridge and leds. Ordered Gravelin pickups for it and recently a Standard case with the foam support so it doesn't flip flop around.
