ArnieZ 1,681 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) F/S is my Artist Ultimate Serial # would make it a 2003 but completed January 2004. One of a very few Ultimates finished other than Cognac and just as rare a quilt top. This top was picked by myselt in New Hartford after my original choice was deemed unusable.This has been rarely played in the past few years and has left my home on only a couple of occasions. Iwould rate the condition as 9.5. No visible fret wear. Two dings in the top in the purfling that wont show in the photo. Otherwise there is some swirling and some hardware tarnish. Pictures at the top were taken today. some of the glamour shots were taken for it's inclusion in the Designer Gallery. The top speaks for itself and the mahogany is the straightet grain I have seen on any Hamer. Photos taken in sunlight no flash. COA, all case candy, and the monster cable it came with, if you wish. Glamour shots from the Hamer Desinger Gallery Asking $4100 shipped will accept PP gift, Venmo or fees on buyer arniez Edited October 25, 2020 by ArnieZ 22 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.bandini 956 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Sorry everyone. Thought I was replying about mattresses here. So I deleted what I had previously written. Lovely guitar, and I'd love to have it, but I doubt I could sleep on it. Edited June 22, 2020 by a.bandini Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KofSeattle 1,615 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Pandemic, riots, murder hornets and now this. Surely the world is coming to an end? Never thought I would see you part with old number 48. Sorry I'm not in a position to snatch her up. Good luck with your sale, Arnie. What a beauty! Cheers! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ArnieZ 1,681 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Found some of MIke's DNA in the chamber😀 What would it cost to have Mike build this today? I know it's blingy, but in such a good way! Years ago Ron Thorn built some Artisans with the shell purfling....way more dollars and I doubt any significant qualitative difference arniez 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

django49 9,906 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Still there! My goodness......A couple years ago, I'd have jumped. For better or worse, I am on a different glide path at the moment. But SOMEONE here should be on that one soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArnieZ 1,681 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Soon to be listed elsewhere. Would prefer to have this stay here where it belongs. if you have an offer in mind.... might be worth a shot..... boutique single cut..... Triple threat.... arniez 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Studio Custom 137 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have a lot of love for this guitar but like others it’s outside my price range...... I hope someone on the forum ends up with it for sure. Whoever gets it I’m sure will freakin love it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
