zorrow Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 WOW! Best of luck with the sale! I'd love to make it mine.... +1 (I was just speechless and came with the Tally comment )
Guest pirateflynn Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 If Ernie says it's near mint it is. His gear is SO clean!
santellavision Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Price Drop again... $2,250. shipped/PP'dThis is a steal at this price. These are amazing instruments in every way.
specialk Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 You're killing us, Ernie!If there was ANY way I could swing this one....
edgar_allan_poe Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 $2250 is stupid low for a guitar of that magnitude. Anyone looking at a PRS, or anything in that vein would be insane not to consider this instrument. My Korina Dolphin has been an absolutely indispensable part of my gigging rotation since I received it.
edgar_allan_poe Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Do it bro...you won't regret it for one second. If you do, I would be glad to take it off your hands when I get back to work in the fall. LOL!!!!

sw686blue Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Held out as long as i could.Be expecting some for sale listings from me soon. I'll have to pay for this thing...Great score! That a beautiful guitar and I just love the finish on it.
edgar_allan_poe Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Nik makes a spectacular burst...I had this exact same guitar but with a trem. The only reason I sold it was because it was just too similar to the guitar I already had. I have wanted a hardtail variant for some time but just haven't been able to pull the trigger. Great score...here was mine. I bought it from Brewmaster and the current owner claims it will have to be pried from his cold, dead fingers. LOL!!! And this dude owns some some serious guitars.
hamersandstrats Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 There is a Huber dealer about ten minutes from me and I played two of those beauties a few weeks ago. I thought the vibe was very unique and the craftsmanship was just world class.
specialk Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Congrats to all!I know it looks like a million bucks, I bet it sounds like it too!
backinit Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Very nice looking guitars, I will probably never see one in my part of the country. I finally saw a couple of new USA hamers in a shop!
