fjs1962 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 What is the going rate for a used Artist or Artist Custom in excellent condition? I'm looking at a couple of them I'm interested in and don't want to overpay. I'm new to the Hamer guitars and figured you guys here would know. Thanks!
sw686blue Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I would say between $700 and $1100 depending on options.Nick
fjs1962 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 Thanks for the help. Anyone know of a nice one for sale? (I want to expand my options )
sw686blue Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Thanks for the help. Anyone know of a nice one for sale? (I want to expand my options ) I have 3 nice ones but unfortunately they are not for sale. I'll post some pix just to get you drooling...just kidding, just kidding!!! Nick
Tonebutcher Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks for the help. Anyone know of a nice one for sale? (I want to expand my options ) I have one I would part with. I had it on eBay two weeks ago and no bids. Email me if interested.
atquinn Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 If you haven't tried out an Artist Mahogany, you might want to give one a try. They usually go for a bit less and they're great guitars, at least based on the silver sparkle one I had. (not as great as my special however, and you can't keep everything...)-Austin
HamerHokie Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks for the help. Anyone know of a nice one for sale? (I want to expand my options ) Keep an eye on Ebay. Artists go for sale there monthly.
silentman Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 +1 for a artist mahogany/25th anniv/vangaurd wachamacallit.
belgian Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 In Europe, we are happy to find a nice one at 1000 Euro (1200 $)

fjs1962 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Posted July 19, 2005 +1 for a artist mahogany/25th anniv/vangaurd wachamacallit. How does the mahogany differ tonally from the maple top versions?
belgian Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 The twin brother of my first Hamer( one that never goes away)I really love that one, especially with that wraparound bridge.
bobsessed Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 You would think the maple-topped artist would have a brighter sound than the all mahogany Vanguard, but not necessarily so. My '96 Artist Custom does Allman Bros. very well, and the Vanguard with P90's SCREAMS! But then they can each do the opposite!?! I got the AC new in '96 for $900, the Vanguard, used, a year ago at $650, the best 650 I've ever spent. Can't say enough about that silver Vanguard! Absolutely bob-a-kews!
