The Shark Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I was very lucky to be able to purchase Hamerphite's '81 Special. Thanks, Ralph. Now, I'm looking for a 4-digit Standard in good shape. I prefer Sunburst or Blonde. I know they are super-hard to find, but I'll pay good money for the right one. I'll also consider a newer model, if it's light and has a nice top. Please no chambered guitars. PM me, if you have anything "lying around". Thanks.
The Shark Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks Kiz. I love the blonde/yellow, but I'm gonna' fish for a while. Rausch, Kilroy is aces.Click here.

The Shark Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 I told Greg at BCR about a guitar I bought from a dealer named Dave Kenny (when he was in Detroit). It was a four digit blonde that had never been sold that he found in Michigan. It was frozen in the plane while in transit and I let it sit for eight hours and opened the case. It cracked in a similar way to Kilroy's guitar. I sold it to a guy that said he worked for Charley's Guitars in Dallas at a Dallas guitar show in 1990. I've got a polaroid of it somewhere. If I find it, I'll post it here on the forum.

cmatthes Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I ordered my '91 Standard through Dave K. in 1990. It was shortly after he had sold a blonde Standard (HAD to be the same one!), and right after he sold the former Charlie Huhn 4-digit that Bubs42 now owns. The 4 Digit had real PAFs in it (added after the fact, of course), but the original Hamer DiMarzios were in the case. I think he felt bad that I had missed out on both (and actually had a "deal" on one), so he gave me a great deal on the Custom Order.Dave K. is also one of the twisted minds behind the "Thunderbolt" guitar(s). He did the original one out of old wood and '50s parts as an elaborate April Fool's Day hoax.
bubs_42 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 The guitars mentioned above.. Sorry Not for sale at this time. They will go as a pair if they ever go.

Robert: you have to come hang out in California some more (all 4 digits), this is the land of "Blondes and Naturals" (ok, not everything is so "natural" around here, but guitars come pretty sweet that way).

gregc Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 See if this floats your boat. 2K will get it to you~ An ebony board, abalone crowns & logo, gold HW, full binding, matching headstock custom~ excellent, W/case. I just don't play it very often.
The Shark Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 Beautiful guitar! If not for the ebony board, I'd be real interested. I gotta' have rosewood. Hopefully, somebody reading this thread will be interested. That's a peach.

serial Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Peter wins hands down. Trying to one up Mr. Fung would be like bringing a toothpick to a ICBM fight!
Rhys Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 My mint 1995 Standard is still available. If the Dollar continues to improve against the pound buying it may become a viable option for you:

I have a great shot of me and the Rev Willy G holding your old friend and I'm tugging on his beard. Any interest in this plank? Peter
The Shark Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Peter: Did I sell you that guitar too! It was a Charvel. If you remember, John had to remove the logos on his two Charvels because of some deal with MTV when Eddie Money played live at the Kubuki Theatre on MTV. You could still see the outline of the logo. I'd love to see the pic. Thanks. Dave R. The aforementioned ThunderBolt guitar was built by my best friend in this world Chris Lukasik. I miss him dearly. Hey, Peter! How's "Have Mercy"????
