SDM Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi Guys, I'm new to the HFC and I was wondering what you all thought a Mint 1996 Hamer Standard Explorer is worth? It's in easy 9++ condition and it was collector owned before me. Hasn't been played much at all....frets have zero wear and I have the case with case candy and warranty card even all in GREAT shape. It's about as clean as I've ever seen one of these that's why I bought it. I've seen some lesser examples sell for $2250-$2450 in the last couple of years and the bound and crowned versions are going for silly money......or they were before this pandemic. I'm not in any hurry to sell and I may very well keep this one, but I'm curious what you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew816 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Nice looking axe! I'll trade you a 96 roll toilet paper, one thing of Clorox wipes and some magic beans! 😉 I'll let the HFC pricing pro's chime in on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustKid Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I personally think this is For Sale thread and you should come up with the number and let the guys know what the price is or move this post to another section. At least thats what the rules here say. Guys will correct me if f i am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Dude...welcome to the coolest guitar forum on the internet. Best peeps right here. If not for Shishkov becoming a thing, that would have been the absolute perfect Standard for me. I’ll wait for smarter people to give you a fair price guide. That is a beautiful guitar.

ARM OF HAMER Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Cool guitar and welcome to the HFC! This IS a GREAT forum and a GREAT group of guys. Don't be pissed nobody is against you here ,just pointing out the forum rules that's all.............same as it is for anyone else here. The forum members ARE willing to help and give the straight talk on what it is and....... what it isn't. We are willing to help each other out with finding parts and info and much more. You won't find this kind of party happening on any other forum. Sometimes the straight talk can be blunt but no need to jump ship here. Welcome!.........and fasten your seat belt.

cynic Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 IMO your stated prices for lesser examples would fall into the optimistic range for yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'll bite. And, as a disclaimer, all the people you're having an adverse relationship early on are my buddies. This is a great forum, but not kind to those that resemble hundreds of folks that came here before them. Hell, I've been ridiculed on numerous occasions by most of the usual suspects here. So, welcome! To get to the nitty gritty. Your guitar, even if it's the finest example ever offered up, will bring what it will bring. If you aren't sure of the price, an auction is your best venue. And no matter what the eBay haters say, eBay is the place to reach the most people and very often get the most money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Be careful to not compare prices for the all mahogany unbound Standard with those that have maple tops or color finishes and binding. The plain mahogany Standard was available for a short time at a lower price than the regular Standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
