cmatthes Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Not mine, but somebody could get a dealie on this one.http://cgi.ebay.com/Hamer-Standard-USA-Gui...=item439af04e5e(Look Ma, BRAZILIAN!!)
jerseydrew Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I'm not fond of the color. That would be a deal breaker for me. Just my opinion.
atquinn Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 If it stays at that price; I could live with the color -Austin
bubs_42 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I've been looking for a Mahogany Standard for a long time. That looks kick ass!I thought Willcutts still had that one. I've been eyeballing it for months.
elduave Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I'm not fond of the color. That would be a deal breaker for me. Just my opinion.Dude, seriously. Walk me through the mind mechanics that make you post something like that on a for sale thread. Granted this a PSA-type thread but I sure as hell hope you wouldn't do the same if the guitar was owned by a member here. Trust me. NOBODY cares that you don't like the color and it would be a "deal breaker" for you. When it comes to opinions and for sale threads, unless you have something nice to say, don't say anything. Jesus Christ!
specialk Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 The last thing I need is a Standard, but I like that color! Esp. without a 'guard. Good price now, but it's bound to go high.
David B Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I've been looking for a Mahogany Standard for a long time. That looks kick ass!I thought Willcutts still had that one. I've been eyeballing it for months.Yep, I've been looking at that guitar forever too.
marcnorth Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 That's a sweet looking guitar, I like the color and the one peice body is cool. I also thik it will go up quite a bit in price. Still could be a great deal for someone.
unfun75 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Double-creams or zebras and that guitar is near perfect. If it stays around a grand I think we'll all be bidding against each other.

NOBODY cares that you don't like the color and it would be a "deal breaker" for you. When it comes to opinions and for sale threads, unless you have something nice to say, don't say anything. Jesus Christ!Ok, I'll walk you through my mind mechanics. First of all, it's a PSA, I would never say anything negative about someone selling a guitar here in the "For Sale" section. Second of all, this entire forum is based on people's opinions, I was just giving mine.It's really that simple, I don't know why my opinion bothered you so much. And your comment of "unless you have something nice to say, don't say anything. Jesus Christ!", I wasn't being mean to anyone, I was just voicing my thoughts. I guess I'm not allowed to say anything. You also stated, "NOBODY cares that you don't like the color and it would be a "deal breaker" for you." Well, that might be true, but once again I was just voicing my opinion. I didn't realize that you were the judge AND jury. How about every time I have an opinion, I'll PM you first to get clearance? This way I won't offend anybody.Is this the Emperor's New Clothes that someone can't make a comment around here? Once again, this was a PSA, not someone's personal for sale thread.
elduave Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 How about every time I have an opinion, I'll PM you first to get clearance? Oh, God. That would blow. Regardless, I don't think you'd "get it" if I denied you clearance. I guess that's the bottom line here. You might want to ask cmatthes. I actually call him before I post douche-y stuff and he talks me off the ledge. I set someone up. Knock it out of the park.
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 To be clear, the comment was made on an Ebay guitar that was...1. Not being sold here on the board.2. Not being sold by a member here (as far as I know)Had any of the above been the case, the comment would have been deleted by the mods. It wasn't and therefore the comment was innocuous.Not sure what the problem is here. Am I missing something?Oh yeah...that guitar is kick ass.
elduave Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Not sure what the problem is here. Am I missing something?Yes, but if I have to tell you, you wouldn't understand. Go drink some Iron City.
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, but if I have to tell you, you wouldn't understand.PM it to me, I am a pretty smart guy.
elduave Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, but if I have to tell you, you wouldn't understand. PM it to me, I am a pretty smart guy. Touche!
seeker Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Not sure what the problem is here. Am I missing something? Yes, but if I have to tell you, you wouldn't understand. Go drink some Iron City. While it might have been in bad taste to comment on the color, anyone with half a brain would not be dissuaded if they did like the color. However, dissing someones home city brew is just uncalled for
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 However, dissing someones home city brew is just uncalled for wink.gifYES!!!! DAVE IS NOW BANNED FOR DISSING IRON CITY!!!!. ROTFLMAO!!!FWIW that color does not photograph well at all. I had a Jr in that color and the color is *much* deeper and more complex than any picture will show you.
elduave Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 However, dissing someones home city brew is just uncalled for It was an "enjoy your Steelers win" joke! I shoulda' used a smiley!
Jack C Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Damn Dave, your Skins haven't even played yet this week. If anyone should be jumping people's asses for no good reason, it's me!
JohnnyB Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'm not fond of the color. That would be a deal breaker for me. Just my opinion. I loooove that color! But then, given how I feel about my new bass, that's no surprise: I also have an orange Newport and orange/tortoise Phantom Custom. Used to have both 6- and 12-string Eclipses in Vintage Orange. Miss them too, especially for the color.

JohnnyB Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Your bass looks cool Orange just seemed odd to me on a Standard, especially without a pickguard. Thanks! This is one of the few where I bought one that had every feature I wanted, including color. It's like a custom order, but I found it used. It's amazing how the right color instrument beckons you to pick it up and play it. I want to play this bass all the time.
HSB0531 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Whatever one thinks of the color, that is one Gorgeous piece of Mahogany!!
