I wonder if Hamer/Fender wants to clear the market.
I could see the same with my recent purchase (see my post earlier today).
This German dealer had some NOS Hamers advertised since about after the time Fender took over for reasonable (at least for European standards) prices. I was lurking but didn't jump on it. Then, a few days ago, they dropped prices by another 500 EUR, making brand new guitars cheaper than used ones on the bay, while you get usually 80s and 90s Hamers there and not the newer stuff.
Wonder if the Wilcutt prices will drop, too.

I really want one of the Magnificent 7 guitars. I called and talked to them a few weeks ago but was waiting on my finances becoming a little stronger before calling back and getting one.
Maybe I should call and see what they're willing to get them out the door for - I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer, but I don't want to miss out on a nice guitar either.

They used to have Hamer Special Korinas with P-90s.. don't see them either...
the Magnificent 7 are magnificent...

The neck on my Monaco Elite is pretty much perfect but I've found that I'm not too bothered by different neck sizes in general. It probably helps that I really don't play all that well anyway. /emoticons/default_wink.png
Still, the description on the Magnificent 7's just says "custom neck carve" which could mean anything really.

Edited to add: the Amberburst Superpro [with Piezo!] has me contemplating a draw on the old HELOC. Must exercise control!

Yeah, I'm not sure why I think it's bigger; I think I may have emailed them about it many moons ago? Doesn't matter anyway, the wallet says no! /emoticons/default_wink.png

no such luck.I got my Newport "Classictron" from Willcutts and had a good experience with them. I hardly ever buy new but I was able to offer them a couple hundred less than their listed price and get it,,, so maybe you could offer them less than what's listed on ebay,,,
nice specs on this!
I agree with the wallet assessment but it's going to be tough to pass on a Mag 7 in the long term.
I think I will call them back tomorrow and see if I can get some additional information on the neck carve in general and specific pricing.

Are they getting out of the Hamer biz?
