dobieboy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I was curious to find out if this year was a limited edition or the official reissue of the Standard. Would this year be particularly desirable because of this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armitage Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think it was just the reissue of the Standard as a production item. Nothing particularly collectable as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The Standard may have been reintroduced as a special run in 1995, but it was available as a catalog item from that time until 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The Standard was brought back as a catalog model that year, but there is no higher value nor collector appeal for a '95 Standard over a '97, a 2000 or a 2010 model. Standards were not a catalog item from the mid-80s ('84) until '95, but they could definitely be custom ordered. I custom-ordered a Standard in Antique Natural back in 1990, and also owned a '94 Standard 8-string bass. The Standards made in the "black out" period are far more rare, but not better nor worse than their mid-90s counterparts. I bought one of those in 1995. It was a solid guitar, and I played it for close to a decade, but I had others that I preferred, so I let it go. I would never fall for (nor use) anything approaching a "First Year Reissue!" sort of B.S. hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamerica Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Other than the Korina Limited Editions and the RN signature series that went over to Japan, (which might not have been from 1995 I don't recall the date of manufacture on those ) there is nothing specific about the reintroduction of the '95 Standard that makes it more collectable. Great that Hamer brought back one of the Flagships and have lead to more than one post on the custom orders that are starting to appear in the resale market.
