ON HOLD: Hamer USA Standard Custom, 2007, transparent red flametop, matching HS, w/ COA & OHSC

Will someone fucking buy this for fucks sake? What’s wrong with you?

[mathman]

I've always wanted one.  I can finally afford it. But, I just dropped 30k on an RV. So, I have reached my yearly limit of toys for the next 5 years!  😁🤑

[Mike Brooks]

I have three Standards right now….but this is very tempting.

Bull Shit, you need a Standard in the closet of that rollin' RV studio. What else are you gonna do out there in the woods?

[zorrow]

You guys are too slow. 😜 It’s back “on hold”, and you know that us here, we honor our word. In few months it will be gone then, but the good news is that it stays in the family.

Cheers! 🍻

This is overpriced. The last time I checked rough numbers with Shishkov, which is about a year ago, I could get what I wanted for about $5500 as he priced it.  I sold an Ultimate within a year for $5500.  There are custom builders that will build you a new Explorer based model for less than this Hamer. This is Standard lunacy. IF you foolishly buy what Hamer owners are exuberantly reaching for, you should foolishly lose lots of your $ at resale.

I respect your perspective but the person who bought Zorrow’s will have it in his hands within a matter of days or whatever he and @zorrow worked out. It is a beautiful guitar and I think the buyer is a lucky dude.

Some people aren't true Hamer Fans and have lost money on investments instead of playing their guitars.

The late Stan Jay (of Mandolin Bros. fame) used to say that a lot, back when he had something rare or choice come into his store.

Says he's been around since '17. One would think that by now he would know the difference between a Standard and an explorer.

Yeah, everybody knows.  I'm keeping the two I have.  Liquidating the Standards as I think my Ultimate's are some of the best guitars I've ever owned.
