stedge Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Previous owner swapped out pickups, bridge etc. still have all original parts in the case. I’d have to go back to very old email to get details, I forgot, really. Plays great and looks fabulous. Sometime I should take good photos. That said, I think the colorful one posted before is the cat’s meow and wins the day!
stedge Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 And Terri Hatcher, of course, takes it all!!!!! 😉

This is a photo from one of the previous owners and when I now look closely at this pic I think I see a Nashville bridge. Good, as I just bought a new original type Schaller bridge for it. Just ready to be installed to bring it back to it's original glory. Lollar P90's in this one though, they sound good.
Dutchman Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Dang!! I’m droolin like a dog in a butcher shop!!! Keep them coming!! Maybe one might be for sale
Eli Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 This popped up on CL bay area today: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/msg/d/vallejo-hamer-monaco-iii/7263371289.html
joshoowah Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Just spotted on the 'verb: https://reverb.com/item/38416321-2005-hamer-monaco-iii-red-transparent Maybe optimistic at that price, but these aren't as common as those of us without one would like.

Shut up. Im old and farted. I just took a closer look at the photos... ouch! Yeah, $2.5K is more than optimistic. I'd pay half that if I had the cash, but no more.
velorush Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 My favorites are Mitch's old natural one with the gold swapped out for chrome hardware, sorta like this: and the one with the tort binding. That one is beautiful!

That one is beautiful! Ah the good old days! I picked the CO with tortoise and carved back from Kiz long ago. Exceptional with the Lollar pickups. The one I got from Mitch was not as striking, but I kept it longer as I thought it was the better sounding and playing of the two, that being the sum of the parts Mitch installed. Kind of surprised me how long it languished in a for sale thread...... Kind of a shame that so many great guitars are in the rear view mirror.
RobB Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I saw a red MIII yesterday at the Emeryville GC marked at $2100. I'm pretty sure the same one was there a year ago marked at $1599.
Dutchman Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 I may be stupid and a Mlll is at the top of my Hamer list, but I can't justify that price!

Ua D Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I’ve seen a number of the red ones go for right around 1600 the past year and half. Some how I keep missing one at that price. They seem to hang around a bit longer at 2k and above. I personally want a red one, but I wouldn’t pass up a natural one unless it had gold hardware. tortoishell c/o all bets would be off. I might rob a bank for that one.
