  1. Amazing deal! Absolutely beautiful 1959 R9 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst Custom, check the serial number for the production year, 932033. If you know, then you know this is one of the best production years for the R9. The neck is tapered perfectly to fit one's hand around. Look around on the best forums, and you'll see people arguing about the best production years, but most agree this model was the best year in recent history until you get back to the actual 1950s! Comes with original brown leather case with purple plush interior. It's in excellent condition, no dings or scratches that damage the paint - the only wear and tear marks are on the headstock from string changes, as well as some unnoticeable marks that you wouldn't see unless you held a flashlight up to the specific areas near the knobs. It sings when plugged into any amp - but pairs the best with Fender Reverb's and Mesa Boogie's in my opinion. I wish I didn't have to part with it, as I love it more than any of my other guitars, but so it goes - so I'm trying to give it's new owner an incredible deal, I will do $4,200 Shipped. If you have any questions feel free to message me; I want to be completely honest and up front with any buyer. If purchased, I will perform a final polish of each part and the finish, as well as fully clean the fretboard and properly oil it with the appropriate product so it comes just perfect to the new buyer.
  2. Hamer Newport Pro Color: Vintage Natural Condition: Like new - Comes with like-new original Hamer Newport Pro case Here's the specs: Color: Vintage Natural Top: Spruce Fingerboard: Rosewood Scale: 24.750" Frets: twenty-two medium oval (.100" x .050") Pickups: Seymour Duncan Seth Lover Tuners: Grover Bridge/Tailpiece: TonePros There are no scratches, dings, wear, Hameritus, or anything. It is, without a doubt, the cleanest, like-new Hamer I've ever owned. It sound killer - chords ring out. Price is $2,600 Shipped.
  3. This has got to be a rare/hard to find case. I saw it on Facebook Marketplace. No other info on it. Not mine. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/930779846043178/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general_listing&tracking={"qid"%3A"-7080976713788563671"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"170020669180630971"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"170020669180630971"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A170020669180630971%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A3%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A3354757195824499845%2C\"ranking_request_id\"%3A6891709543773422795%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.1724862481157%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A129%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"25674307518910975\"%3A3122%2C\"26926113406993107\"%3A3122%2C\"26610165268671896\"%3A686%2C\"26426455343607215\"%3A701%2C\"27240356362217871\"%3A3001%2C\"26000585192897872\"%3A3594}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"}

  5. Do you find the updated board on your Unleash to be better?

      Sorry I haven't been here in awhile. 

      I never got a chance to try the first board, mine was dead when it arrived.   Bad Cat does the new board replacement for free.  One of the main issues it corrects is that if you hook up the wires wrong that you won't burn out the whole unit.  Sorry I can't help you more.  The owner at Bad Cat is a really cool guy.  Call him and discuss it with him.

  6. Congratulations to the guys who got the first run. That is an awesome deal. Good luck to Shishkov I hope his business works out well. Question, since he is only one guy, any idea on how long the current 20 guitars or so he has on order are going to take? Is he going to be hiring some folks to help him now that he has a bunch of orders?
  7. I saw these guys at a house party about a year before the album came out. I was blown away seeing what Eddie was doing. He did change the world. I don't think most young guys really realize what a game changer he was.
  8. Soloway guitars does some nice ones.
  9. I played that guitar. I bought ToneJunkies red one from him. He was keeping that one at the time or it would have been mine. Good luck on the sale. Somebodies gonna get a good guitar.
  10. Here is a link to the boy with the guitar and his message to everyone who contributed. Thanks again. He is a heck of a player. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.p...=42190&st=0
