[BadgerDave]

SOLD

 

1998, Excellent + condition

Rather extreme quilted maple top.

7 lbs.

Neck depth: .890" @ 1st fret, .990 at 12th

Some Hameritis at neck/body joint and nearby binding (see photo) no separation.

OHSC with warranty card and hang tag.

HFC price is $2,500 shipped, sorry - US only under present export conditions.  

I'll be offering this on Reverb at a higher price next week if it doesn't sell here first.

I can set it up with your choice of strings (as long as they're Ernie Ball Regular or Extra Slinky) and preferred action.  

I can drive a reasonable distance from the western suburbs of Chicago for an in-person exchange.

Sorry, no trades.  I'm selling this to pay off the CC bill on a recent guitar purchase.

Bumping with discounted option.

I have a genuine Hamer hardshell case from the correct era for this guitar that fits it perfectly.  It has the gold Hamer USA logo and is exactly the same model that would have come with this guitar.

The problem is, the case was exposed to water at some point in its history. It is completely dry now and cosmetically very good, but it has some separation of the interior padding, the interior strap that connects the bottom to the top is detached, and it has a faint musty smell.  There is also some separation of the vinyl from the wood on the bottom edge.

It works fine as a case.

I'll reduce the price of this guitar to $2,250 shipped with the case described above.

Hey you would of course want to confirm this, but I think at this time the tariffs are primarily affecting imports, not exports to most other countries/regions. Like Sweden. 🤑

Still there is import tax and customs. Ads about 30% to the price (shipping included). 👿

OK,  I'm really tying to avoid Reverb and eBay.

$1,950 shipped, US only with the functional but fair condition Hamer case.

Add $60 for PayPal or use zelle or F&F.
