Motorhead Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Anyone interested in selling me a standard custom? C'mon!!
Crwth145 Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 If nobody offers, hang out for a while... one will show up. If you can't wait, there's a natural finish SC on ebay right now... Sometimes they come in waves; nothing for a while and then two or three at once.

django49 Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 That is almost identical to the one I just bought (second hand but in mint condition) from another HFC member. Mine is chambered and very lightweight, which I believe is/was "standard" for that time of build. But best thing to do is just email the seller (a music retailer). I think there is one other one being offered at the moment with a solid (korina) build.

Good luck on your search for a sweet standard.
gorch Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Any Standard from 2007 on is chambered if not especially ordered. Jol told me once in the guitarguru blog.

cmatthes Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 That would be LATE 2007, not all 2007's were solid.
BCR Greg Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Any Standard from 2007 on is chambered if not especially ordered. Jol told me once in the guitarguru blog. Nope. There were solid ones.
gorch Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 That would be LATE 2007, not all 2007's were solid. I remember him writing they have switched to chambers early 2007. Unfortunately, I cannot lookup the statement anymore as Jol has the old files deleted from the blog with the business change.

Unfortunately, I cannot lookup the statement anymore as Jol has the old files deleted from the blog with the business change. As the guy that fought tooth and nail to GET THEM to chamber those guitars, I can tell you that we had several non custom order guitars arrive solid after 2007. The last stock ones had 2008 serial numbers.
BCR Greg Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Found you one, Zipperhead. Check your email. There will be gasps when this one is known to be available.

gorch Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 (grins) Interesting. I would have written that in German language too.
Crwth145 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Speaking of evil, when are the rest of us going to be let in on this one?
BCR Greg Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Nothing to see here, folks, keep moving.........
specialk Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Ha!Guess we just wait for the NGD thread....
Bobby Marshall Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 How about a black one...... Did you get one? If not, saw this one that might be interesting . . . http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-HAMER-STANDAR...=item2c6034c5c2 If you did, you gotta post NGD to satisfy our curiosity and need for Hamer eye candy.

daa2202 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 At the request of John (Motorhead), here are pictures of the Standard Custom that changed hands as a result of this thread. This should jog some memories among people who have been HFC regulars for the past several years. My picture: and one of BCR Greg's: My thanks to John for the smoothest, most painless transaction ever. He's a great buyer and a stand-up guy...deal with confidence. Enjoy the guitar, John, and rock it hard! And thanks to BCR Greg for playing matchmaker on this deal, too.
