tobereeno Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 I'm very much decided on selling. It's never a happy day to let go of special instruments, but when it's time, it's time. https://reverb.com/item/12073681-1991-hamer-virtuoso
Rockola Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 I get it. I sold my '68 Mustang and swore it would never happen. That's a bit of HFC history as I recall from the old board, as well a VERY cool guitar. I hope you get every dime without issue. Steve
tobereeno Posted May 12, 2018 Author Posted May 12, 2018 I've gotten some serious inquiries already. I might accept a partial trade if it's up my alley...like a setneck Cali custom
gerry Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 i really love my cali the virtuoso is great to - even more but the cali is for everyday playing better
tobereeno Posted May 12, 2018 Author Posted May 12, 2018 damn that Californian is gorgeous! I've got several offers on the Virt already through reverb.com. Tomorrow I'll take the best one and sadly, Monday it will be going to a new home.
tobereeno Posted May 12, 2018 Author Posted May 12, 2018 well that didn't take long lol. Sold for $5000. Feeling a bit emotional

DBraz Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 You will no doubt feel emotional when it leaves the house for the last time. Great guitar. I’d better change the insurance on mine... 😃
gerry Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 it is a mistake to finance other guitars on the back of your own ones.:-(
tobereeno Posted May 13, 2018 Author Posted May 13, 2018 We definitely had good times together, but it really was time to let this one go to someone who'd put it on a pedestal as it rightfully deserves. For 2-3 years now my Virt was at best a 3rd or 4th string benchwarmer on my instrument rack.
gerry Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 sorry toby i just got a bit sentimental of course time moves on and so our preferences
gerry Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 and congrats to the selling price. the 5000 was always the benchmark for a virt. great that they are back in that region
tobereeno Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 Well she is on her way; I dropped off the package at FedEx a couple hours ago. No regrets. Well, almost no regrets. lol
tobereeno Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 Happy to report that the Virtuoso has successfully made it to its new owner in one piece. Still a bit sad that it went, but I had a great 16 year run with it and I just honestly wasn't playing it anymore. So it actually feels good that the new owner is stoked and is playing the hell out of it tonight
