BTMN Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Here is another Mahogany Standard that has been with a few HFCers. I got it from BadJaxx out of Pittsburgh and forget who I sold it too. IIRC, it was KIzanski's at one time. The flame to the Mahogany was really nice and it s one I wish was still here but MahStand3 is still here. Been played every day this week with a lil bump from this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just throw some pickups on a stick of Mahogany and call it good. It doesn't get much better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Somewhere in time there is a photo of Bruce919 holding a 'bursted Mahogany Standard. I wanted it then. I want it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not sign off on the tort guard, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact the case came with a label that said MahStand3 and I figured that was a great name. Say it with an Arhnold accent and it is great fun. I had three of them at one time. Two were consecutive serial number the other was two numbers LOWER. The MahStand3 was a label I put on the case. Gene that was the third one I found. All of them had a bit of Hamerits around the neck joint , all were great players. I only sold them for financial issues at the time & I had order some custom Hamers. The first one I found was at Woodwind & Brasswind (now out of business) in South Bend in the scratch & dent area. This was in 2000, so it was already three years old NOS. I have a photo somewhere at home with all three Mahogany Standards. I will look & scan it in . FYI - I looked up the serial numbers of the three I had : 748291, 748294, 748295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get a mirror-like finish on mahogany w/o filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crwth145 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 One showed up on reverb a couple of weeks ago w/three different guards (black, white & torti) and sold quick for $1700. I never should have sold mine... Found it hanging on a wall in an obscure little PHX area shop back in '08 and got it ridiculously cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a white guard in the parts stash that came off of a Korina Standard that somebody torted up (barf), and I'm tempted to send it to whoever has the tort guard on that one just to make the bad part go away. But, hey, if YOU like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I don’t think I had a pickup in that guitar that sounded bad. But the Custom 5 just roared in the bridge position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
