WTB - Californian

Does anyone have a Cali Elite they want to sell? I'd like to try a flamey one, with boomers and all that stuff. A Kahler would be excellent, but I'll look at Floyd-equipped models as well.

There's a flame Elite on Ebay now - Kurt's on it but don't let him have the satisfaction :D

Oh, and i may be wrong but i have a feeling Kahler had gone pearshaped by the time the Cali was introduced.

I'll almost certainly be selling mine within a month or so (sometime after I move to New York in a couple weeks), but I'll want more than whatever the eBay one goes for because mine's in better condition and looks better ;) Still, unreasonably high offers might be accepted right away ;).

It's in excellent condition, no dings or dents. There is some wear on the finish in the back middle of the neck (from frets 2 to 5), that you can feel when you're playing, but it's not visible. This happened from a couple of months of playing, so I imagine that, with enough play, the finish will wear through and start to get nice and dingy (I've seen some Cali's on the 'bay with necks like that before). Also, while it is stock now, (parallel Axis pickups in the neck and bridge) the neck pickup has been swapped out a few times, so the guitar is not technically "stock", it's "returned to stock". Price-wise, I'm looking for something north of 1K, but I'm not sure exactly what yet. Hamer shredders seem to have been going up a bit in price lately and these don't come up for sale very often, so I'm going to see where the one on eBay ends up and probably base my asking price on that. I figure I should be able to get more because mine's in better shape and I'm willing to ship it anywhere. But like I said, unless I get some ridiculous offer, I'm not going to really try selling it for another couple of weeks.

That one on Ebay closed at $1452!! So, I guess that will take me out of the running for yours!! So much for Hamer not getting respect in the market. It's funny how that old shredder with some body / face dents can demand that much and the studio someone got for just under $600 but that's the only type they're making!! Yes, they have the right to make whatever they want. I'm just a disgruntled Hamer shredder fan. :)
