bubs_42 Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I need to just put this one out there so you guys know where to send one when it comes available. 90's Version or Newer.
bubs_42 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 O they are around. Still Kicking my own ass for not buying the Yellow One that El had FS. I'm just sticking this out there because one day someone will get tired of there's and I would like to have it.
serial Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Tom Dumont has a 1999 Mahogany Vector. I think his was the first done like the Korina Vs but in mahogany. His was yellow opaque and shipped to him in late 1999 (it was getting painted at the factory during HFC2).It's really not a "90s" model or really an official model at all, but there were a few done including my surf/Kerry green one. Not very common at all-I'd guess only a dozen or so were made (if that).
bubs_42 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 And like we all know, one will pop up eventually. My Mahogany Standard is one of the finest Hamers I've played and I'm a V guy at heart. This is the longest i've ever been without one (14 months).
serial Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 You can custom order one like I did. Probably much quicker than waiting for one to appear. There was a white endorser one that turned up a few years ago, but other than that I've never seen another for sale.They ARE awesome though.
cmatthes Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Actually, the white endorser one was reportedly Korina (the one done for M. Esthridge's guitarist?), not mahogany. It was an option, but I don't know of many at all out there. I'd say less than a HALF dozen maybe? My advice is to ORDER ONE, and get it done in baby blue if you're expecting a baby boy, and pink, if you're expecting a baby girl. That way, you can say, "it's for the baby, not me!!". It's all in the spin, Shawn...
bubs_42 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 I would really love to do a C/O and maybe that should be my swan song. I'm thinking Old School Aztec Gold with a Tort Guard.

bubs_42 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 Great thought about it on my way home. I'm stuck between 3 colors.
serial Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Nope-you'll find a four digit Standard for sale for $350 before you find a used recent Mahogany Vector!
specialk Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Why 'hog? Tone? With all the effects out there I think it'd be easier to recreate the tone than to find one for sale. Just me thinking out loud....
bubs_42 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 Nope-you'll find a four digit Standard for sale for $350 before you find a used recent Mahogany Vector! You think? That would be awsome! Why 'hog? Tone? With all the effects out there I think it'd be easier to recreate the tone than to find one for sale. Just me thinking out loud.... I like the sound of all Mahogany Guitars, I like Vectors an the newer Vector's are going to have the neck shape that I want. One will pop up later than sooner. I guess I could always order one, then way a year and act supprised. As soon as I order one, one will pop up the next day.
specialk Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I like the sound of all Mahogany Guitars, I like Vectors an the newer Vector's are going to have the neck shape that I want.Understood. I'm debating with myself right now between two acoustics, one all hog and one cedar/hog. The cedar/hog one has tort binding so that adds another factor. Good luck with your quest, it's a noble one!

I had lusted after a '96 Baby Z done in Korina for NAMM and never seen it pop up. Ordered the P90 Baby Z BANG! 2 weeks later.
