currypowder Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Let's refresh this ad. I added a couple of my own pics. Also, I'm reducing the price to $6,600 delivered via UPS 2nd Day Air shipping. At this price, I would greatly prefer a friends and family Paypal payment or other form of fee-less payment. But if that's not possible, let's talk, I'm sure something can be worked out. I may regret this, I may not. I've only owned this for a little over a year, and it's been wonderful to have and play. But I went a little overboard with gear last year, and this is the quickest way to get myself back to what I consider reasonable. This is in no way a fire sale, and I'm perfectly happy to hold onto it and go a different direction if necessary. My asking price is $8,050 and includes paypal and 2nd Day Air UPS shipping. (Dropped to $7,500 with a PP Gift payment). A significant discount will be available if a Paypal Gift or other form of fee-less payment is used. Of course, any different form of payment would need to clear prior to shipping. Those who have bought/sold with me in the past have found me to be a pretty reasonable guy to deal with. I would prefer to sell this outright, but I would be willing to entertain partial trades for a modern Hamer. I'd be interested in a Triple Threat, Talladega Pro or a particularly nice modern Standard. This is not a pristine guitar (nor should it be at 37 years old), it has a few minor scars and checks in the finish here and there. But it is an excellent example of a bound and crowned flame top standard from the great era of Hamer. The frets are in good shape. When I bought it, it did not have the original pickup selector ring, but on a recent visit to Nashville, Murkat gave it to me. It has since been reinstalled on the guitar. The tone pot and cap have been replaced, but with the parts from 4-digit # 0227. So the changed components are certainly period correct and very possibly from the same batches. The neck pickup is original, but the bridge pickup was replaced (before I owned it) with a period correct Dimarzio PAF by Murkat. The guitar is kept in its original case, although it was shipped to me in a Modern Hamer case for better protection, and that's the way I'll ship it. I will ship the original case via UPS ground, so it will likely arrive a day or two later. Many of the pics below are from the previous owner, but the first couple are mine with the aforementioned selector ring installed.

Steve Haynie Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I dunno... What's it weigh? You HAVE to drop your price because I can't make any money if I buy at that price.
THTCoop Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Love it! $350.? Or trade for my bass, which has also been appraised here, for the same amount.
kizanski Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Witness! BTW: One of the nicest 4-digits I have Ever seen. Those who have bought/sold with me in the past have found me to be a pretty reasonable guy to deal with.
crunchee Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Lordy, that's lovely! It makes me want to sell my/keep my RN Signature Standard Custom (yes, I want my cake and eat it too). GLWTS!

Michael_B Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Damn, that's a fine guitar. Unfortunately, it's way out of my league. GLWTS.

currypowder Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 Just to reiterate. I will consider partial trades up to about half of the value as I do need to at least partially cash out. Will also consider multiple items in trade, though my preference would be a single item. I'm not looking for anything in particular in a guitar, but am not into shredders at all. As I mentioned in the original posts, higher end more recent Hamers always interest me, as would a nice Jaguar or Jazzmaster. I'm not interested in amps.
Caddie Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Trade ya this and this for your old, creaky, arthritic 3-digit Standard? PM me. Cheers! caddie Hey Mr. CurryPowder, my offer (see above) remains on the table. Are you still mulling it over? Cheers! caddie
currypowder Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Bump. Make me a partial trade offer I can't refuse!
