harryjmic Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Might sell a Hamer to get a different amp. I bought the Korina Special with the intent of starting a collection but the fact is I don't think I'm a collector, rather I'm a player/cork sniffer. The Special is probably the most alive guitar I own and sounds great but my practice amp is less then I was hoping it to be so my thought is to sell them both and buy a great combo amp instead (Carr Vincent or Tone King Imperial) that kind of thing.Thoughts?Listed on Ebay right now but will sell to a HFC memeber for $1275 shipped. Too lazy to link but it's only one listed and my user name on Ebay is the same. The Carr Vincent I played last night might me cave.Congrats to Mr. Munky! You are getting yet another killer Hamer guitar
sonic1974 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Might sell a Hamer to get a different amp.

The Junior is probably the most alive guitar I own and sounds great but my practice amp is less then I was hoping it to be so my thought is to sell them both and buy a great combo amp instead (Carr Vincent or Tone King Imperial) that kind of thing.Thoughts?Why would you sell the most alive sounding guitar that you own? It sounds like you would regret it pretty fast. Why not just wait for a while and save up for the amp.
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Or sell something else.You trying to set up a one-man Gift of the Magi situation?
ArnieZ Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 What is your non practice amp? It seems like there would be a lot of reasonable alternative for a combo amp for practice. A used DRRI, an Egnater Rebel, one of the Chinese Voxes. I find guitars much more personal than amps. There are amps I have regretted selling but never as much as some of the guitars I've let go. I had a Korina Jr. and I never would have let it go if it had a vintage neck profile. I would think very carefully before I sold it!ArnieZ
ArnieZ Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Shut up Arnie,,,, Well you could always buy the Jr I sold to Currypowder who sold it to someone and now I think Belgian has it, but I don't think it's for sale! Now there a bunch of HFC lore ArnieZ
specialk Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I would think very carefully before I sold it! ArnieZ +1. This is a lesson that, once learned, can be hard to live with sometimes,

Are you selling something like this? http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33292 Uh...no.Your Korina Jr. will never even come close to being that rare, that valuable, and thus that highly sought after. BIG bucks, BIG bucks, BIG bucks.However, not bad mouthing the Hamer Korina Junior, its a wonderful guitar. But its no legendary '59 Gib V. If you get seller's remorse down the road you'll be able to pick up another Jr. in a few months, just be patient. Or you may find something else that strikes your fancy come that time.Don't sweat it. If you have your eye on some other piece of gear like that Carr Vincent (very cool) and this Jr. does not hold some special significance in your heart, sell.caddie
harryjmic Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Bump with Ebay listing and random thoughts
MCChris Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Listed on Ebay right now but will sell to a HFC memeber for $1275 shipped.Couldn't find the auction but damn that's a steal.
MCChris Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Ah. I searched for Junior, and the guitar is listed as a Special.
Feynman Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Listed on Ebay right now but will sell to a HFC memeber for $1275 shipped. If someone here doesn't buy this before the day is out I say "shame on all of you."Save this machine from eBay, and buy with confidence from a great dude!
harryjmic Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks guys. I can never keep those two straight. If I was a collector at heart I'd probably need both. Great guitar still. I'd probably still keep it if not for that standard Fenyman sold me.
specialk Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 How's the neck carve? Thin (Modern) or chunky (Vintage)?
harryjmic Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Vintage carve but not like a Nocaster. Grovers. It plays like a dream and sounds fabulous. I also don't think it's heavy, I'd have to guess low 7's maybe high 6's.

I also don't think it's heavy, I'd have to guess low 7's maybe high 6's. PM Sent. If you take PayPal and there's nothing screwy with this guitar, I just can't resist any longer. Korina makes me weak kneed.
HamerHokie Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks guys. I can never keep those two straight. If I was a collector at heart I'd probably need both. Great guitar still. I'd probably still keep it if not for that standard Fenyman sold me.If I were you I would correct the listing, because the Junior is a production guitar, while the Special is a very rare custom order. No one would likely do a search for Hamer Korina Special because they don't really exist (much).
harryjmic Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 1 piece or 2 piece body?I'm thinking one piece, I can't see any joint.
velorush Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks to whomever bought this! It was causing me serious problems!
MCChris Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 PM Sent. If you take PayPal and there's nothing screwy with this guitar, I just can't resist any longer. Korina makes me weak kneed. No worries dealing with Hair Follicle.

Now there a bunch of HFC lore ArnieZ I was thinking on selling that one, since I have the special K...., but the Euromarket on used Hamers is very slow.
