currypowder Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I get that it's cool and rare and one of a kind, but $50K? C'mon man. It seems I've seen this one pop up before, I'm sure some members here know all about it. https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/msg/d/be-the-only-person-to-have/6732149832.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl.B Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Really Hamer would build you a guitar without you knowing about it? "I totally forgot about this until Pete Flynn called me to let me know it was ready to pick up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 are they catering to recent winners of megamillions? even then it would be a tough sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl.B Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Why would you put this ad on Craigslist for that asking price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersteel Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 For $50k, you'd think the seller would have better pictures. For example, I don't see "Hamer" on the headstock; rather, from what I can see, it says "Hame." And the bottom headstock doesn't show anything.

Drew816 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Cool axe, I'm always on the look out for $50 guitars on Craigslist. $50k guitars, ya, not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'd pull the trigger, but I don't like green. Plus I've already made arrangements to sell both my kidneys to buy that Tom Petersson Standard bass and that hollow-body flametop Cruise bass.

Disturber Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It looks similar to Paul Stanleys. I don't know if he had a 12 string neck on his. Cool. But that price is a tad to high for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 He lost me with the ad title: "Be The Only Person To Have This Guitar." Think of any guitar you have. Then ask yourself, "How many people have this guitar?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar would be bought in a way similar to buying a time share condominium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also go so far as to say anyone with 50 grand to spend on guitars isn't searching Craigslist to buy guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santellavision Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Maybe its $500.00 and he forgot the decimal point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDave Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 When I first saw the ad I read it as $5,000.00. I immediately thought that was on the upper end of reasonable for that guitar, close to it's original list price. We're seeing a lot of very interesting Hamers listed for sale recently.

holLoWskull Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Damn, I think I remember seeing that same guitar (or its twin...which is impossible since then the “I have the only 1275 ever made...” comment a dubious claim at best) come up for sale about a decade ago (give or take a couple years either way) for under $4K. An emerald green Artist Custom doubleneck is something you don’t forget seeing. Super cool guitar, but not worth the price of a 2 bedroom house in some parts of the country. To me anyway.

I thought it looked familiar, right down to the 'Joel Danzig' (hoo hee?) name drop. Some mention of it might be somewhere in the HFC archives.

mirrorimij Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 That green one is the only one that was built. Jol let me engineer the tooling and write the CNC programs to make it a production model. I must have gone through 200 or more tops to find a AAAA flame top wide enough to make a double neck and then they killed the flame with green paint. id give $10 k for that all day long if someone could convince the seller to take it.
