Hamerica Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It'sss baaaccckkk! Now $7,500. Didn't an HFC Member own this? Love the Natural top. BTW does anyone know if the Blonde Standard from Neals was purchased? Brian - It was still up for @ $8k last time I saw it. Just a tad north, huh!?!? Ah yes, but a guy can dream, right?! As my grandmother used to say, "if you don't ask, you don't get"!
cmatthes Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Still about double what that should be selling for - especially in this market.You never know though...somebody may jump at it. Is he taking "best offers"?
Hamerica Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Hey Chris,Yes, the add says best offer. Someone has consistently bid on the guitar but he continues to relist.Prices really seem to depend upon the buyer. Usually lower number Standards like 0192 should bring in more money than later Standards. Both are really nice looking standards. Hamerica
ScubaMarket Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah, thats a bit steep for a late model 4 digit standard. I offered $3500 for it myself and haven't heard anything back. It's in great condition.

Just a tad north, huh!?!? I offered 4 guitars including the spalt... and he still wanted $1650 I guess it doesn't hurt to ask for X, XXX but wow Peedenmark, I am sure your saying thanks, but no thanks to that offer. Hamerica
joshkava Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I took a trip down to H'America.. to buy a standard and a pint of gooooold... It'sss baaaccckkk! Now $7,500. Didn't an HFC Member own this?

Disturber Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Now it says "sold for 4 300 $" . That's a very good deal on a natural Custom Standard, 4 digit. Considering that the plain dot 4 digit went for 5 200 $ yesterday on ebay
Hamerica Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 WOW, both gone on the same day. I agree that this being a custom, natural, and in excellent condition had its selling points, but it was a higher serial number as Chris pointed out. Serial, how many 4 digits in Natural were made? Any idea? We know of Zandard, and Kilroy's. I am sure there were a few more. Congrats to both new owners. Hamerica
cmatthes Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I believe Peter has a few of the Yellow Trans/Natural ones. I'd guess at least a dozen...the two yellow trans you mentioned, Gary Moore's Natural one, the famous $75 Canadian one, Peter's handful, and the Neal's eBay one. That's @ 8 right there.

serial Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Ones to the same spec as Nielsen's (someone please refresh me on the "Zandard" thing, I don't recall the story told here before on #0004 to synch up with what I've been told by either Rick or Paul H) with the yellow transparent/natural finish and wide spaced octave dots are limited. I think four or five including #0004. I know that #0213, #0218 and #0225 were in that trim and there's another earlier one in the books, but that's it. Natural/yellow trans with crown inlays are much more common. Still not "common", I suppose, but a dozen or two wouldn't surprise me at all. Then if you add dot necks in that finish made after 79 with the narrow octave dots, you get more.Still, by any other contemporary guitar mfgr's numbers, they're stupidly rare. Dean made many more guitars in 1979 than Hamer made for the entire four digit run between December 74 and mid-1985.
