veatch Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Not sure if this would be considered a hollowbody or simply fully chambered - see the pics, and maybe someone here can tell me... *Love* this guitar, but i have 2 Dolphins, and i'm starting to thin the herd, so this one goes. $2400 PPal'd and shipped within the con-US. If yer outside the con-US, let's talk - i'll likely need a little extra to cover the shipping. The Good: Monster guitar, in very good condition. Light weight (Korina *and* fully chambered...), very articulate. Haussel pups sound amazing. It has a vin B / vin N combination. It's all original as far as i know - even has the old Yamaha push/push switch on the tone control as opposed to the push/pull they're putting on the newer guitars. Frets are in good shape, minor wear at the cowboy chords. Neck is full, around the 0.8" mark, similar to a Hamer vintage carve, but the wider fretboard makes the neck feel thinner than it really is. Faux binding. The ebony tuner buttons makes the guitar balance well (but i do use a wide leather strap). OHSC has moderate wear - i'll get pics of that later. Bottom line - it's a Huber. The Bad: Not much to say, here. The finish has a spot on the back near the neck that has tiny bubbles in it. This didn't come out in the pics, so i'll try again. I consider it minor, but full disclosure, here... Light wear on the bridge and top edge of the bridge pup. Overall, very light honest wear for a 7 year old guitar. The Pics: More pics are available if'n you want to see them. Some of these are older pics, but the guitar is in the same shape as then. Nik's neck pocket is a thang of beauty - very easy access to the notes that hardly anyone plays. Very comfortable neck joint. Fully chamber, as you can see here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfeel Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 man that is nice, and that seems like a ridiculous price. If the Dantzig wasn't on order this would be mine... GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 FWIW, my Dolphin II (Maple top, solid body, and much heavier) is THE ONE I keep going back to. I cannot even say why-----It is just SO right........I have a hard time even getting a bad note out of it........I would love to give a serious workout to this one----(Korina, chambered, light weight, etc). SERIOUS temptation going on here. I just cannot buy yet another until I sell a few of the "surplus" guitars/amps I already have.Yes, I love my Hamers, BUT........I am quite confident that the next owner of this is going to be a very happy camper.....And it is cool that it DOES have some play wear-----As opposed to the many higher end guitars that get locked away in their case and never get played for fear of a scratch that reduces the resale value......
