Rhys Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I'm putting my 1995 Standard up for grabs again if anyone in the UK or Europe is interested (I'm assuming the exchange rate/import duties/shipping costs will be prohibitive to US/Canadian members - you're more than welcome to buy it too if you want!!) Superb condition, just some Hameritis on edges of fingerboard & a tiny ding in the headstock that I did whilst taking these bloody photos.... Played only occasionally in the four years I've had it & never gigged. Comes with original Hamer case, which is a bit scuffed on the top but otherwise fine. Paid £1349.00 for it about 4 years ago, looking for around the £1000.00 mark. PM me for more details/pics.
bubs_42 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Its sad that I cannot get that here. You could consider it sold.
cornjulio Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Rhys,it's a beautiful guitar but I'm not allowed to buy anything these days. I think the price is fantastic for anyone looking for a standard in EU.Good luck with this sale...C.
Russ Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Now, where are these on MY side of the pond? Good luck with the sale. I too would jump on it if it weren't for the fees, duties, tariffs, whatevers...

Armitage Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Cardiff??? You ever bump into the Torchwood guys?
Rhys Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Cardiff??? You ever bump into the Torchwood guys? Yes, I do actually - and the Doctor Who lot as well! I was watching them filming the new Dr Who show (that is on TV here tomorrow evening) a few months ago - they've all become such familiar faces in Cardiff. "Captain Jack" lives here permanently now. The shows bring an enormous amount of tourists to the city. It's pretty good fun having them filmed here.
belgian Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I can't buy it, but bump for the Euro HFC members !
Rhys Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Many thanks Belgian. (BTW - Do you know/know of Walter Broes? He's a really good roots/rock'n'roll guitarist based in Antwerp).
Bennyboy-UK Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 OH GOD - thats the worst timing ever ;-) I'm over in Cardiff all the time - buy I'm not allowed to buy any more gear either - I just bought this, plus a Boogie 5:25 ... - and I think I would be in SERIOUS trouble if I even look at you Standard for too long!!! It looks completely FAB - somone will snap that up pronto I would think! Cheers, Ben
Rhys Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 It looks completely FAB - somone will snap that up pronto I would think! Cheers, Ben That's what I thought when I started trying to sell it about 18 months ago...... Lovely Mockingbird - did you buy it from a guy named Scott in London by any chance?
belgian Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Many thanks Belgian. (BTW - Do you know/know of Walter Broes? He's a really good roots/rock'n'roll guitarist based in Antwerp). Yes, I know him, he's playing with "The Seatsniffers". I'll see him in May, they are playing a festival in Holland that I am attending with the Carolyn Wonderland band.

I keep planning to go over to Belgium & see them but so far I've not got round to it.

Hiya, This M/bird came from a chap up in Cumbria - no idea of whose it was previously. The guy I bought it from had a bunch of other nice gear too - Someone in the UK has got to want that Standard, haven't they? *Bump Cheers, Ben
Rhys Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 On Ebay UK as of yesterday evening - £949.00 starting price & no reserve. If that's not a total bargain I don't know what is.......

Rhys Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Believe it or not it's the forth time I've had it on Ebay at that price & I've never had so much as a single enquiry. I think it's because I'm Welsh.....
Siaip Ciuvas Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 nope. Its because Hamer is pretty poorly known in Europe...
Bennyboy-UK Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 nope. Its because Hamer is pretty poorly known in Europe... nah - I think it IS because your Welsh ;-)
Rhys Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 Auction just ended - no buyers yet again. I cannot believe the total lack of interest in this guitar in the UK. At the moment I just feel like taking the fucking thing outside & smashing it to pieces.....
