Priced less than a new imported Strat? Somebody should give this one some love...

Such a shame those most excellent guitars don't command more money. I loved mine, but couldn't pass up an equally mint 360 straight up as an even trade.

MONELMs are great.

 
If I am not mistaken, the same seller (with no prior feedback at all) has listed one or two other Hamers recently. A bit strange that none were offered (or would ship) with a case. Makes me wonder if perhaps someone snatched and ran off with them and is now trying to unload(?). Not a rocket scientist IF trying to do that on eBay..

 
I dunno - it seems like they sit forever when someone offers one for $800. $600 without a case, while good, doesn't shock me.

Then again, I may have developed a bad attitude over this ridiculous 2013 Challenge.

 
I feel absolutely ok with the 2013 Challenge if that helps out any. /emoticons/default_wink.png/emoticons/default_tongue.png

 
What do they sound like without a maple cap? I've often wondered if the maple is mostly just cosmetic.

The guy lives about 30 minutes from me. If it doesn't sell on eBay, maybe I'd offer him $450 cash.

 
He takes pictures of it in a case, what looks to me like a non-original case, but the case isn't included? Seems odd to me, but I realize there could be reasons why it makes sense.

 
I was thinking about giving it a shot as I like the way my special sounds more than my studio. A solid hog, LP style guitar would be cool to try out I think. However, the crappy pics and lack of case make me not want to give this one a go.

 
What this needs is a Sustainblock and some Stike Sparkle Gold Paint! Damn i'm out of Sustainblocks /emoticons/default_sad.png

I bet it will sound just as sweet, or sweeter, than my band mates 3500 dollar all mahogany Gibson Custom Les Paul with Burstbucker, and to a about a seventh of the price.

 
They aren't as bright as a maple-capped 'hog LP style but they sound wonderful and play great. You may have to swap pickups a bit as I did to find the magic .....but just a wonderful guitar.
