Hamer Korina Special Custom Order FS


Recommended Posts

One of my absolute favorite Hamers. I am ecstatic for two reasons, one it surfaced again, and two I feel completely ok that I missed out buying it.

Kiz sent me a text when he hit it. Best read of my day!

Kizanski bought it back?

He did.

Full disclosure, I was tipped off to it being for sale on Reverb by a member, @stedge, who was considering bidding on it and wanted my description of the neck profile. He even provided a link to the auction in his private message. I had regretted selling it the minute the eBay auction ended about 10 years ago, and looked for it to pop back up ever since.
Not only did I not answer his PM, but once I saw it for sale, I jumped on it. Well, first I put an offer on it which was a few hundred less than the purchase price, but when considering how STUPID I would have felt if I had lost out on it, I just put it in my cart.

Stedge, I don't know you and you don't know me, but I'm really not a bad guy.  I should have never sold that guitar, and it belongs with me.

Sorry, dude.

@kizanski at that price you had to do it. Stellar guitar, its hard to believe that 2 of the 3 of my "All Time" favorites have come up FS here recently. Between this one and the White Korina Artist I had to really grit my teeth.

Congrats to the buyer and the seller.

Kiz, after reading this thread I’m really happy you managed to get it back. I was the guy who put in the “other offer” but I guess I didn’t want it bad enough. Haha. Sure makes a hard pill to swallow a bit easier knowing this one is back where it belongs, brother. Enjoy it, again.

Thanks, man.  Truth be told, your offer was the kick in the ass that got me to just grab it and not wait to see if my offer had (or had not) been accepted.

Glad I could help. ;)

Well, considering the COC has your name on it, in my opinion you have done well!

 

Congratulations on getting that fine guitar back.

Congrats to the seller. The buyer is a dick.

Congrats to Kiz!  He re-acquired one of the guitars he regretted selling and maintained his stellar reputation as a curmudgeon.  Atta' kid.

No hard feelings. Initially I was a little perturbed but end of day it is just a guitar and I am looking at a 68 sg special now, instead (and less $).

That said, a kinder approach might have been to pm me and tell me you desperately wanted it back, would I mind, etc.  I would have said ok, I understand.  Then again, I coulda been a dick and rushed to buy it, so you would have taken a risk and I understand why you would not do that. But I would have stepped back and let you get it, anyway.  

I understood that this could happen, and took the minimal risk.  Again, only a guitar and his name is on the certificate, so this is all probably as it should be. So don’t give him too hard a time. 

 

I do request first dibs if you sell it, though.

 

Next play, and play it loudly!

"Kinder approach"?  Clearly you're new here.

All jokes aside, you're right on all points. I could have asked nicely and given you the benefit of the doubt as being a good guy, but I weighed that against taking the chance that you might not be and decided that I was leaving nothing to chance.
I forgave myself for it literally seconds later, but I recognize it's not something I would want on my highlight reel.

Jeez Mike, you must have really wanted that one back.  You have superb taste in Sustain Blocks.
