I don't like Teles, but...

...if I did, this seems like a decent price for a T51?

Quite decent I'd say, though they seem to be all over the place. I had an amazing T-51 in white/blonde - lightweight, near-mint condition, that I picked up for $535, and ugly ones often fetch quite low prices it seems. On the other end, my friend sold a fantastic one for over $1100, which I was (and still am) shocked by.

T-51s are GREAT to me; if I wanted one I'd certainly consider one at that one's price or higher.

I picked up a T-51 and love it. At a little higher price than that, and I still thought it was a good deal. That one is a deal for sure. Somebody's gonna be happy with it.

Great deal very much like the own I own. It looks like an ash body,I would be skeptical about a 7# weight. Mine is a 1 piece body but definitely not 7#. Weight is not a huge consideration for me!

Not to knock the guitar or the deal, but I would think there are quite a few good Teles out there that can be had for $860 - - or less. Same thing with Daytonas. I think this is one case where the Hamer name and relative scarcity of decent T51s and Daytonas works to the seller's advantage.

On the other hand, I would take a Hamer p90 Special over most Gibson Juniors. Just sayin'.

For reference, it was $675 when this thread came up.

I had my eye on it, but talked myself out. When I left for work this morning, it was still at $675 and no bids. Which seemed a bit high to me even though it was in great shape.

When I got home, I saw it completed at $860. Yowza!

Looks nice with the ash and tortoise 'guard...

I'd almost say vibe is driving price, in this case...
