Even with hameritis, that top is stellar.   Nice deal.

Hameritis about like my 2002. Great top and price. Looks barely played.

Good to see @topekatjis back with the CL deals!

Another likely fake one folks!  Same photos again.  A lot of the CL scam post area really good price, but not like they used to be for like an R9 for $1000 sort of thing.

It sold about 1 year ago with an offer but it was listed at 2300 to start.  Doesn't seem like it went for 1300 range.

Most Hamers show up on my feed on Reverb so these were all a little familiar as I look at every listing at some point, I guess.

Too good to be true ….

Fraudsters everywhere.  My dad always said, "If it's too good to be true, it wasn't meant for you".

[cmatthes]

Yep.

 

SCAM.

I have been lucky. I got mine from a Reverb seller at the low asking price, hadn’t been listed long. @Ua D mentioned it here. Also picked up a Taylor nice 12 string from eBay for a great price, like new. I have stopped high dollar sight unseen.
