ArnieZ Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Based n the pickups it would appear to be #58 Don't feel the price is steep myself, I would not sell mine for that. Mine does have a nicer top ArnieZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine does have a nicer top ArnieZ This ^^^^ And ArnieZs' does have a nicer top. Yes, there have been Ultimate Artists that have sold for less. It's a buyers market and those that sold for less have been steals - everyone of them. Although these are not "rare" in comparison to some limited runs, at the time, those guitars reflect the "Ultimate" of the New Hartford manufacturing. The binding alone is mind-blowing when you account that it is all hand laid. Its in Barcelona so GLWS! Hamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBraz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think the price looks good. The last time I saw one in the UK a few years ago it was a cognac coloured one and was priced at £1850 without the case and with fading hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhuber Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 That Ultimate definitely ranks up there for the nicest Artist I've ever seen. The frosting on the cake is the chrome hardware. I personally don't care for gold hardware or the Cognac finish on most Ultimate's. I have previously owned 3 Custom Artist's that I though were outstanding themselves. If you're interested you can always submit an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luis Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Artist Ultimates came with two certificates, the one from Hamer and the one from Seymour Duncan for the pickups (Custom Shop). Ask for both or I can phone the seller for you if interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
