Not even a chance for a PSA - Who got the MIII at DGS?

$1495. Nice. They listed it as a 95, but it's an 05.

i visit the Just In page a couple times a day.   This lasted about a nano second.  This was a steal.

Way underpriced.

$1,495 with Kinmans.  
 

Silly.

God help me, I love that natural finish over spruce… 🤤

Weird. That's the same one that sat on Reverb for a few years (reverb description mentioned a bear claw sitka top), where it was listed for $3,400 from Wolf guitars of FL until it recently disappeared. Lucky buyer.

I'm not buying guitars. But I would have bought that one.

What's going on with the stacked second knob? A blend control would be ingenious. Never considered that setup until now.

Found the old listing: https://reverb.com/item/64388215-2005-hamer-monaco-iii-bear-claw-sitka-spruce

It describes the knob as a "Parametric EQ /Concentric stacked tone pot was installed which really opens up your tonal possibilities."

But is that the same guitar?

In the description it says Seymour Duncan pickup.
