donner Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Don´t know, if anyone has discovered this ad on TGP: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/hamer-californian-elite-first-year-production-with-rare-features.1725640/ Looks really neat. No aff., just trying to do a favour for those with itchy, speedy fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadeace Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Well it was bound to be flipped, what was it like 700$ from GC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim777 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Really? Wow, crazy flip. So many Calis around at the moment, is it too much to ask for a bound boarded green maple one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 For what it's worth, the "flipper" is a 10+ year very close friend and straight up guy, who got the guitar in a trade for another reputable high-dollar instrument, partially due in my part for singing Cali praise and this guitar's uncommon features. The Cali was for Mike's son and his son is not bonding with it. The guitar will be at my shop tomorrow for a TLC/wellness check. I will be able to vouch for it too this time tomorrow.

Jeff R Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 It came by my shop today. Wow. If I had the spare $$ right now, it would have stayed with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo175 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'd love to have that for the OFR cavity alone. Finish would have to go, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbreinin Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hey guys, this is my guitar. Like Jeff said, it came to me through a trade and I had no idea of the backstory of where it came from and what was paid for it. Not that it matters, as the guitar is worth what it is worth. I am not a flipper, I traded for this because my son wanted to try it. He loves the tone, which is amazing, but can'get get along with the neck. He prefers a wider nut width and larger frets. So, I am offering it up for sale or trade. If anyone is interested and has a cool trade offer...we are open. For the record, I figured the previous guy got it cheap from someone who didn't know what it was....but I am surprised it was a Guitar Center, LOL.

Mike Guitar Center often doesn't have a clue what they have. I just grabbed a Kinal DK5 bass from them for $1400 shipped. These things list for $3400 new, and the one I received is in pretty damn fine shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar I traded for this came from GC and they certainly knew what is was. Generally, I don't like to buy there...but my son played the guitar several times and really wanted it. I guess with more obscure things, like a Cali from '88, you have a better shot of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
