veatch Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Nah. Missing the truss rod cover. Deal breaker... : ) Seriously, that is a killer deal. I'm clearing my browser cache now to remove any further temptation. 3 Quote
tbonesullivan Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Someone is gonna get a great deal. Not me though, I'm in bass mode right now. 2 Quote
The Shark Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Is it me, or have these always been a little "weak" in the market? I remember I had a blonde one with a killer top and had to trade it to move it. But that's been ten years. 2 Quote

Im not sure why... 1 Quote

bry4321 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Is the difference between an Artist Custom and a "regular" Artist just cosmetic? Not to downplay that, just curious. Quote
RacerX Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Aaaand it's gone. I was there this morning and really liked it, but was hoping for a larger neck. It was hard to walk away from.... really pretty in person, light and balanced... I'm going to regret it in 3...2...1...🫤 I'm really looking for a P90 Special/Junior... yeah - should have bought Ernie's -Mark 4 Quote

There are not many artist customs for sale on reverb. Maybe I missed it but I don’t believe I’ve seen yours listed on reverb. And yours is much better looking IMO than the one above If yours is only listed here where there is a concentration of people who already own a ton of Hamers it’s a tougher market. And we are all cheap remembering the days when they sold for less. Even if that was only a few years ago. I personally think you’d be better off listing it on Reverb starting higher than here to cover selling costs and you’d reach a much larger market. Also I only see 2 Artist customs listed on Reverb currently at very high prices which means you’d have little competition at the moment. Waiting to list until the end of Feb. might be ideal though. Right when early birds are getting tax refunds. 2 Quote

Right when early birds are getting tax refunds. I always go back and forth on selling it.. Id much rather sell my Gretsch.. both are great guitars but I prefer the Artist. Maybe next time I decide to sell it I will go Reverb route and put it at 2.3 k and see what happens.. Now that i'm not in a band I feel like unloadiing some guitars.. so I must resist.. I'm sure at some point I'll be in a band again and will be missing it if I do Quote
