Standard 0077 (two digit?) on the 'Bay

[Guest gearwhore]

Didn't say it was worth $7k to anybody but the seller. But the idea here is that if you restored it, it would likely be worth even less to a collector.

Repairing Jimi's fired up Strat from Monterey? Not worth what the char-broiled original condition is.

Look at that nice early Standard someone on here had restored and was trying to sell not long ago- I believe asking price was what they paid Hamer to do the restoration, but I don't believe it sold. And it was a beautiful guitar. Worth the price to the cat who restored it, but not so much to buyers here.

I may be wrong but I thought the reworked standard did sell.

not as few weeks ago when he was offering it too me in a trade we talked about....we were close...as far as I know he still has it and still interested in my 62 les paul..Which murkat has at the moment....the refin may devalued it for you...but I would own it before 0077 comparing apples to apples...or standard to standard.

I was hot for the standard...And given some time I am still considering it. So here I am a buyer with the ability to swim in this pool...but I dont see the value in 0077..not any where near what its at.

and the martin that owns 0002 and 0077 NOW is not martin barre

To be clear, I don't think that 0077 is worth much of anything in that condition. I was only commenting on the possible historical value, which apparently doesn't exist.

As to the refin'ed Standard, I would snag that over 77 in a heartbeat, though again not at it's asking price.

I think its almost worthless like that...i really been thinking about #0525 i look at the pics every couple days..I agree i see way more value in 0525 than 0077

I own #0071 and it looks a hell of a lot better then #0077....

[Disturber]

WTF! That thing is scared. But it still looks cool as hell. I WANT IT. Don't have the cash for it though....

I own #0071 and it looks a hell of a lot better then #0077....

The original owner is a longtime close friend of 35+ years. He actually brought this one and another early Standard to play on one track on my first album, back when these were practically new. I bought it from him around 10 years back, when he needed money for his software company he started. He cashed the check but I let him hang onto the axe, cuz we're buds. It's mine whenever I want to pick it up but it's like one of his kids, so I'm in no hurry. He loaned me some of my old photo gear back for a decade or so.....that I'd sold him when I needed money. So we have that sort of relationship. Good friends are harder to find than good guitars.

Like I said I may be wrong about it being sold, I'd take the reworked one over all of them I've seen for sale so far. It may be reworked but it's the best looking 4 digit out there.

I can agree its a looker. All I had to do was say yes and would been mine. I still might.

Interesting looking pickups in the last Standard shown - what pickups are those Steve?

[serial]

Don't recall-whatever came with it. I added the chrome covers and chrome toggle switch.

[BTMN]

#0225 is a sweetie! So is #0071!!!!

[matchful]

105 is where it's at for me! Be-yuuuutiful

[oldskoolrulz]

wow, never thought i'd see a cracked in half guitar that i would actually dig and possibly consider purchasing if I had the available funds

[Guest gearwhore]

i got him on the move with the price he is down to 4100 from 7k...another $1500 and he will have my interest

Lovely flames and nice burst and you don't see too many with neck binding but no crowns.
