Sometimes the stars align, especially when you least expect it, and something special happens. I was browsing the classifieds of "Kleinanzeigen" (German "Craigslist") out of boredom in the middle of the night. I was already half asleep when suddenly ... I immediately contacted the seller by email. He was on vacation at the time, but after a brief phone call the next morning, he considered my interest in buying to be genuine and promptly removed the ad. After a short negotiation about shipping the guitars (which the seller initially didn't want to do), I received the two Vectors, undamaged, in one (!!!) cardboard box. And here they are:

Hard one to let go, but putting my 2005 Hamer USA Korina Vector (GVKS) up for sale. This is the standard production model that followed the limited Brazilian run, and it features the exceptional build quality you’d expect from the 05-06 era. The Elephant in the Room: It has had a headstock repair. However, this wasn't a "local shop" fix. The restoration was performed by Jason Dumont (LapKing). For those who know Jason’s pedigree with Hamer, Guild, and Fender, his work is essentially factory-grade. The joint is rock solid and the guitar resonates exactly as a Korina V should. Specs: Body/Neck: African Limba (Korina) Pickups: Original Seymour Duncan '59 set Hardware: Original Gold (minor tarnishing as expected for '05) Case: Original Hamer Hardshell included Price: $3,500 plus shipping.
