FS: 2004 Hamer Korina Artist - SOLD!!!

[Jim P]

Up for sale is a lightly-used 2004 Hamer Korina Artist guitar. This guitar is in excellent condition and, perhaps best of all, it weighs in at less than 6.5 pounds! The neck profile leans just slightly toward the chunky side, but it's very comfortable to play. The frets are in great shape as well. All components are stock with the exception of the ebony tuner knobs (originals included) and the black control knobs. The control knobs were replaced with Vintage Forge knobs because a couple of the originals came to me cracked. There are a couple of minor blemishes, but they're so slight that they're extremely difficult to photograph. All in all, this is a great guitar that just needs to find its way into a new home.

Basic specs are as follows:
Body: Korina natural finish semi-hollow with single f-hole
Neck: Korina with RW fingerboard, 24-3/4" scale, 14" radius, 22 frets, 0.89"(1st fret) & 0.93"(12th fret) w/slightly pronounced shoulder
Pickups: Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 neck & bridge
Bridge: Nashville-style Tune-o-Matic
Tailpiece: Stop bar
Tuners: Schaller w/ebony knobs, original knobs included
Strap buttons: Schaller-style strap locks (black), originals included
Weight: 6.46 lbs.

SOLD!  If using PayPal, please add appropriate fees (F&F possible option). As always, please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have, and thanks for looking!

EDIT: Sorry......couldn't remove the white highlighting......

Thanks! And yeah, it's a great guitar! I'd certainly hang on to it if I didn't need the $$$ these days. I'd consider some reasonable offers as well.

[Jim P]

I might put my artist up for sale and if it sells..  (which I doubt it will)  I'd def buy yours just to try it

Or, just buy mine and sell the one you like the least. You might just find that you'll like both of them enough to keep both.......🤪

And, if I would've known you had an Artist Custom up for sale, I might've considered trading the Korina Artist plus some $$$ for it. But, I guess that's how it goes sometimes! Good luck with the sale!
