jisham Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I got this jewel from Kiz a little over a month ago thinking my partner would be gainfully employed. Well, that didn't happen and I need to get some money in the bank. So as much as it pains me, I need to sell "The Riff" as it's become known. It took a year of begging to get Mike to sell it to me, and I truly regret having to let it go. This is a custom-ordered all mahogany Hamer USA Standard with several upgrades, including a one-piece body, ebony fretboard, large neck carve, bound neck and headstock, single Victory inlay at the 12th fret, and locking tuners. It currently sports a Duncan 59 in the neck and a Custom/Custom in the bridge, wired volume/tone/tone. It's in what I consider mint condition. Kiz can verify how good it sounds and plays. I will say, unequivocally, that it's the best sounding Hamer I've ever owned or played...I'm not sure what it is, but there's magic in this guitar and I don't say that lightly. Of course the Hamer case is included. I have more in it but will price it at $1950. Best to reach me at jdisham@comcast.net. Thanks for your consideration. It would be cool to keep it in the HFC family so I hope someone here grabs it.
silentman Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Sorry for the continuing woes Jaye. That's a cool guitar. I'm sure someone will pick it up.
cornjulio Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I think it's awesome! Loved the gig pics from your concert thread a couple weeks ago!
jisham Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 I need to move this quickly so open to reasonable offers. Thanks.
Siaip Ciuvas Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 absolute wonder... Unfortunately its oversized to ship over here, so I have to skip...
polara Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Siaip, I'm flying to Sweden Thursday and Lithuania next Tuesday. I could possibly bring it along if you and Jaye can work something out... let me know!
Siaip Ciuvas Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 2 days for shipping... Too slippery... Email sent to Jisham. Lets see. If that will happen, Rick (polara) will be bathing in local beer next week ps. what a community. Really honored to be part of HFC. this morning actually posted ad in local musicians forum on selling most of my guitars, which will be converted into Hamers
kizanski Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Siaip, I'm flying to Sweden Thursday and Lithuania next Tuesday. I could possibly bring it along if you and Jaye can work something out... let me know!Good luck receiving an offer like that from TGP, LPF, B&M, etc.Not gonna happen.The HFC rules.Edited to add:Oh yea, and the guitar is a friggin' WEAPON!If you CAN swing it, you had better.
polara Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I think we are actually gonna pull off this ship to Atlanta, then fly to Sweden and then Vilnius trick. Wow. If this guitar could talk... I'll take photos to document THIS crazy-ass transaction. Yeah, only on the HFC but karma spreads and comes back, ya know? BIG thanks to Mrs. Polara... "Honey, besides the baby and her stuff and our bags, could we bring along an enormous guitar case I'm getting from some dude I've never met to deliver to another dude I've never met?"
Siaip Ciuvas Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 The Riff is going to Lithuania. Hope UPS guys will make it to Polara on time. Will post pictures of joint testdrive through my JCM800 ...now it will take an effort to sleep at night until the guitar of my dreams will arrive! Rick - no worries, Mrs. Polara will be happy at the end - my promise!
jisham Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Thanks dudes! This is an amazing place, no doubt.
Feynman Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 This is the kind of stuff that always makes me glad I found this place.
