bluesguitar1972 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Located in Canada (trades greatly preferred inside Canada, but will consider cross border for the right deal)This is a trade feeler. I've had this guitar for a while, but it's just not getting the play it deserves. It's a 2008 Hamer Artist Custom with a beautiful flame top in trans red. The headstock is also bound, which would have been a custom order. It has a nice medium C neck and smooth Schaller tuners. Pickups are double cream Tom Short Fleetwoods, which are a clear lower output PAF's style pickup. Guitar comes with it's OHSC.I'm not in any rush to move the guitar, but I'd consider moving it for something of interest - potentially a Strat/Tele custom build (Suhr, Crook,Anderson, etc), or a Les Paul. A nice acoustic could also be a possibility but really prefer to try acoustic before buying. Trade value would be around $1700Here's a few pics (ones with black pickup rings are older with different pups)
cynic Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 The headstock is also bound, which would have been a custom order.I believe the headstock binding was standard spec for the regular production Artist Custom (GATA) model.Are the original pickups included?

Link here to their site (still up)I don't have the original pups. When I got it, someone had already replaced them with Fralins, which I found alright, but honestly, a little muddy. The Tom shorts are a great pup.
atquinn Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Bound Headstocks became a standard feature for the Artist Custom (and Studio Custom and Duotone Custom, etc...) in late 2006/early 2007. Nice guitar, good luck on the sale.-Austin
ghamerinfrance Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I fyou may be interested in this kind of model,http://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=718490No affiliation as I do not know the seller but he is looking for an Artist in exchange of a Guild (Hamer build) Tell me if you need help if interested
bluesguitar1972 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 cool - didn't know thatActually, guitar was just traded guys... quick. Did a deal with a Friend, and got a guitar back I traded to him before lol.
ghamerinfrance Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 It appears the guitar is still on the market from Nova Scotia...
Tres Aardvarks Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Oh crap, I've always said I needed a 6-string twin for my 12string!!! This is about as close as I've seen! ETA: dangit, didn't realize this was bumped..thought it was currently for sale.
cynic Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 If it's the same one, It is back up for sale here. The photo is so overexposed it's tough to tell if it's masking the grain or if it's an opaque finish.
Sugartune Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 It's not the same one. That Halifax one has been up (&re-upped) for ever. Since at least Feb. He was looking only to sell and was holding fast on his price of 1500 CAD ($1333 greenbacks). Originally he wanted $2500 for the guitar and amp.No idea if it's flamed or not. I didn't get too deep in discussion with him or ask for additional pics. I was trying to haggle down into my budget zone, basing it all on the thought that it was opaque. Nice Z to go with it, though. Red delicious.
ghamerinfrance Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Agree but i think there are not si many artists around there in this color. Cynic comments are correct.
