Holy crap!

[paults]

I'll be shocked if this auction goes for the entire ten days...

[RoyB]

Zero feedbacks, as is all sales are final and $6000. Pass! It's a cool guitar and super early, but man is it worth the risk? Not unless I could see the guitar in person first.

[veatch]

Agreed. It may be a great guitar, but i ain't gunna pay $6k to find out...

Not that i have $6k to drop on a guitar in the first place...

[RoyB]

I've already been bitten in the ass one time by a four digit Standard with bad feedbacks and an as is listing, so not this white boy .

[Guest pirateflynn]

San Clemente, eh?

[Jason01]

If you were really serious about this one why not see if the guy would let you come see the guitar and check it out? I mean if you're gonna pony up 6k+ for a guitar then surely you can afford a plane ticket out to check it out in person. Looks like a really cool one and good luck to all those going after it.

I'm thinking ..... road trip!

Did it move from 6K to 8K in the last 1/2 hour? Talk about inflation!

LOL

Fuel delivery surcharge.

[cmatthes]

The pickguard ain't original.

[bmenary]

Oh, I love this guy- Starts at 6- Probably got an offer of more so he must have decided he started too low so ups the price 2 more.

You never know- but I have a bad feeling about this guy- I wouldn't even think about buying this one sight unseen-

I can't swing it---

Anyone trying to hook up with him?

[RoyB]

Now even higher and check the shipping cost. $45?? The insurance on $8000 would be over $120 alone. Just like the guy I bought my standard from he sent the thing uninsured DOH. Unless someone goes and looks at it I'm gonna bet it goes off with out a bid.

[Steve Haynie]

Adding shipping to an $8000 guitar sale is a joke.

When that guitar does not sell I bet we get a new member offering that guitar in his first post.

[kizanski]

The pickguard ain't original.

That's what I thought. Maybe if it looked as if it fit, it wouldn't stand out so badly.

He probably stuch an Explorer guard on there, thinking that it's the same shape.

Anyway, that keeps the price down. Imagine if it hadn't been modded - it would be $10,000! LOL

[Armitage]

Lousy pix.... if he expects that kind of money, he could take detailed pix... and he didn't. Probably for a reason.

[bizzwriter]

Should one this old have original Gibson PAFs on it, or had Danzig switched to Dimarzios by then???

[David B]

The pickguard ain't original.

Nope, & looks like shit. But, I still want the guitar.

[cmatthes]

Should one this old have original Gibson PAFs on it, or had Danzig switched to Dimarzios by then???

That is a greatly exaggerated point and there's a lot of misinformation on that out there. This one would have almost certainly had DiMarzios.

[BTMN]

$8000, #0020, $8000, #0020, $8000, #0020,.......

Anyone wanna buy 12 Deans?

[srvwannab]

I'm sorry you had to go through that- With that said, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching its progress. I have a feeling when it is done you will have brought back to life an incredible guitar- and the guitar, post restoration, will be a very special blend of your vision and craftsmanship with Hamer's vision and craftsmanship. When this happens, your guitar will be completely unique- and I think that is pretty cool.

[MCChris]

As far as I know, Glenn Danzig has never used Dimarzios.

Not sure what that has to do with this auction, though.

No he's not. That's the earliest Standard I've seen for sale in twenty years (other than mine). While the guard might not be original, $6 OR $8k is not a bad price for this IMHO. I've heard about this one before, don't know if it was from the seller or not. If this was a seller with some feedback, my guess is that it would be snapped up in seconds. I've seen several Standards that were a year or so later than this one sell in this range. A white early Standard is stupid rare (maybe only this one and Lita Ford's) and a bound headstock to boot. If I had the $$...!
