Speaking of crack smoke...

Give me a break.

Wonder if that guy has ever heard of this concept called "reality".

Must be the soft market .... driving prices down like that.

I remember seeing one or two of those at Axe in Hand, Dekalb Illinois. They were more like a Melody Maker (similar shape as that but without the fancy wood). I think I could have picked those up for around $500.

I always thought the early Hamers were designed by Ted McCarty-lol.

I think his price is about... $20,000 too high

Maybe a Beach or two went through the old AxInHand, but I'll bet it was some Tom Holmes THC guitars you saw there. He had a bunch of them back in the day...

I worked on a Beach last year, nice guitar, but was at least 12lbs...maybe more, a pound of that must have been all the switches and wire! LOL, ahh the 70's

Mark.

PS, the last Beach I saw for sale was at the southside Chicago vintage show, maybe 2 years ago now, asking 1800ish with no takers iirc...

Larry did have quite a few THC guitars. I remember them hanging on the back wall with the Melody Makers and Epiphone Coronets. He also did have a couple of Beaches. Oh to go back in time to that place. He also had Hamer Standard 0050 (asking price was an exhorbinant $1200 at the time-1990).
