Silver-sparkle is the BOMB - they only did that for one year, yes?  25th Anniversary while still in Chicago?

Posted

Hopefully someone in the know will chime in about how long Hamer made the silver Artists . I do know they did offer the silver on the Vanguard/Artist for at least 3 years .

There's a silver sparkle on Reverb with a huge crack in the hollow section.  Looks terribly abused.  If I hadn't just dropped cash down on another guitar I'd offer him $450 for it .  It's trashed, but he says it still plays great.   I came this close.

They did those in '99-2000.   Those are all New Hartford guitars.  Hamer left A.H. In '97.

  I don't think that would be all that unreasonable... (maybe emailing

phone # may help.)  it's been sitting at $595 with no takers,  and he'd have

to pay fees out of that.   It is a significant flaw, and $595 plus ship is a little

too close to what you can get a non damaged one for...

It'd probably be OK as long as nobody steps on it or runs over it again.  Those cracks are uglier than sin, though.  :wacko:

Glue will fix, I agree.  But it will never be an investment guitar.  Head stock is scuffed up and back has buckle rash.  I'd hit it at 400-450.  A great guitar no one would steal.

These days, I wouldn't think of too many guitars as investments. I could be off.
