Better grab it before it's $10k. haha. Seems like everything Hamer is going through the roof.

[Montelovesco]

I come close to that If I sum up fees, taxes, more taxes and shipping 🤣

Thanks for posting.  While it did pique my curiosity. It just sold. (Not to me) 

[lastchild]

I bought it, never seen one,didn't know the existed but had to have it.I also bought one of the newports they had.

Darn! Wish I had seen this before it sold. A certain somebody in the fan club sold me their M III several years ago. He regrets selling it and has been asking me to sell it back to him. I absolutely love the guitar so I tell him I'll sell it back when I have a replacement.

Congrats. You will love it. These are unique guitars. Like the fattest strat mixed with P90's beef and snottiness

NOT SO FAST   I purchased the guitar saturday morning at 7:29 am got a conformation email that payment was exepted.Called the shop at 4:30 pm and ask if they could give me a discount a Newport they had since I had bought the monaco that morning.He gave me a discount and I bought the Newport and he said both guitars would ship on monday.Today I noticed only 1 shipment number so i contacted them and ask if it was both guitars shipping with 1 number.He informed me that they sold the Monaco III to someone else the day before I bought it

It'd be one thing if it was like another guy was buying it in store at the same time, but the day before and he didn't know it was gone?  Lame.

Yeah, I definitely have that gene too. 

[fguitbert]

The good news is that you will love the Newport. I absolutely love how mine sits in the mix in a few bands I play with

I threatened to have them turn the brown truck around but he gave me 400.00 off of the newport.It is really nice , all of the Hamers they had came from one guy from Buffalo.
