Montelovesco Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Benny, you might want to check out ebay ads in Germany... Not sure, but you may find something of interest.
DBraz Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 You just love those Centaura 's dont you Ben? Great guitars and underrated for sure. Best of luck in your quest.
Montelovesco Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Talking about quests - try www.mercantinomusicale.it Italian, but I can help, if needed. And there is the french marketplace www.zikinf.com best d
Bennyboy-UK Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks very much! I'm on mercatino site hquite regularly - there are always quite a few deluxe spec calis and chaps. The French site is new to me! Plus there's digimart in Japan
Montelovesco Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Mercantino can be a great place, got my best Hamer ever from there. I got experience with the french place, but just in case Gilles (ghamerfrance) can be of assistance - and be it with ze languaaaage....
Bennyboy-UK Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 Bump for the lesser spotted Centaura Dual Humbucker... I should be sensible really and just find a Diablo shouldn't I?! I'll hold out longer....
bassbora Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Did you find one? I saw you were asking about it on the fretboard. I have a Korean Slammer Diablo if that is any help for you that I would part with.
Bennyboy-UK Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 Hi fella, No joy as yet I'm afraid - so I'm casting my net a bit further. Very new to the fretboard forum - so I'm not sure quite how friendly or cliquey it might be - we'll see! Thank you very much for the Diablo offer - I'll certainly keep it in mind if I end up without dice and need a neck HB fix! Cheers, Ben.
bassbora Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Hi Its quite a friendly forum and I have bought quite a few things over there. I got a boomerang Chap in Dec last year and got totally smitten (I think I did a NGD on here for it, if not on FB). I could not find any more Hamers so I ended up with this Korean guitar which was fine but just a week later I got the chance to buy 4 Hamers on FB and I could not resist. You can see NGD for it on this forum. I dont really see any Hamers popping up on FB but I will let you know if I see any. My Hamer needs are totally fulfilled with my 5 Hamers USA. Hence the reason to move the Korean one on. Cheers
Crwth145 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted this and then realized you were in the UK... Sorry! https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/msg/d/1991-hamer-usa-centuara/6215345007.html
Bennyboy-UK Posted August 4, 2017 Author Posted August 4, 2017 Cheers m8, I must admit that your post made my pluse quicken! Nice guitar you have there - but.... ... I'm after one of the models with a pair of Humbuckers rather than the HSS set up - so unfortunately - its not just the Atlantic ocean thats going to get in the way of me going for that one Something like this is what I'd love to find... or this one that I watched for too long in a shop in Japan without making contact... I'm not too fussy about the finish or fingerboard material - but maple would be easier to ship from abroad I suppose with all the CITES fun and games to think about
ARM OF HAMER Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Hmmmmmmm................. The twin "Bucker" version seems to be a uncommon animal, most seem to be the HSS version...................best of luck with your guitar quest!
carfish7 Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Closest I could get you is "Centablo". I believe it is a CO with Diablo body, 2-hums (with pickup rings for some reason - stock) and non-reverse big-honkin' Pau Ferro 'boarded neck with the offset dots. Not maple 'board. DEFINITELY not thin shreddy neck, but 2 hums (Gravelins) attached to a mega 5-way. Covers lots of sonic ground.
DBraz Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 There's a chap on FB with this guitar. I am not sure if it's for sale but...
Bennyboy-UK Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 I reckon Joe will get in there first and close it off

Studio Custom Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 On 9/8/2017 at 9:38 AM, Bennyboy-UK said: I reckon Joe will get in there first and close it off It is beat up, rusty and has dents in the neck and he'd want in excess of $900 net for it. Photos It's too rich for me, in that condition.
Bennyboy-UK Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 gah! - annoying they do look the business. $900 is too much, you are right. I tried to track down the one you had, but without a reply from him unfortunately - I sent a letter in the mail. Search continues...
