tomteriffic Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Before I even opened the thread this was going to be my answer. Tossup between that and a Virt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 AHhh... the Watson. For me the Watson rules over the Virt in terms of what I would rather have. I think over the last 15 years, I actually have seen more virts and scepter V’s for sale than Watson’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There was a Watson for sale just a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Scepter Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This month was actually a good month for Watson's... As there were two different ones for sale from Japan... both were Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirrorimij Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I didn’t know that black Standard existed. Thanks. The one I’m speaking of was from 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There is currently an Improv and a Virt (@stonge's) on Reverb. Both reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce919 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I have only seen a few FB's go up for sale over the years, Scepter V I think I've only seen two go up for sale. Watson 4-5 but yet again im looking for them more. 2001 I was in Japan for a business trip & asked around if there were any music stores that sold guitars near by. The only Hamer in the store was a Watson that had an head stock repair, flame maple top, I think it was about $1200, I was closing on my house two weeks later so I didn't spend the $, Kick myself all the time for not bring it back with me.

Dave Scepter Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Last Scepter V that I've seen sold was two years ago almost to the day on eBay... it also seemed to generate a fair amount of buzz here... I believe it was a project V & that a member here Justkid won the auction... which reminds me, Hey Justkid whatever happened to that?.. you ever start/finish that project? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 An Impact bass was just sold to someone here. They come up for sale about once every eight years or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Man Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Other than the one I bought, I have not seen a sustain block blitz in the wild, although I know they made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooode, I bought this ugly dog on Ebay for less than cheap... & I must say, it's a great guitar!.. I've actually grown very fond of the paddle style headstocks & for the life of me, I can't get myself to refinish this guitar 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There’s quite a few rare ones that I’d like (but don’t need). Watson’s pop up less than they did 5 years ago. I’d love one one day. Virts pop up periodically although they tend to be the same ones. Great guitars. Cali Customs (set necks) are also pretty rare as are FBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zorrow Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I’ve never seen a sustainblock-ed Virtuoso for sale —and they do exist; for example, Paul Hamer has one. Watsons are very rare too. And well... there are also a lot of unique Hamers with very specific features I’ve never seen for sale, but I guess it’s unfair including custom orders in this thread —such as my own 67 Schenker Vector, which I saw FS once, bought it, and now it’s very unlikely you’ll see it FS again.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
