dgstandard 403 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I had the guys at Hamer do the work. Afterwards I regretted having it recapped/refinished as is it was a greenburst...not too many of those. The Hamer guys were excellent to deal with and the guitar turned out beautifully. One day out of the blue I got an offer I couldnt refuse and i let it go. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

79Sunburst 261 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 https://wilmington.craigslist.org/msg/d/castle-hayne-1981-hamer-standard/7264201626.html Ok, I have reduced it to sell. Taking a loss from what I paid for it 2 years ago. Maybe we can keep it in the HFC family. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a Greenburst with rosewood/dots that hung in Pierce Music in Dover, DE. We had just both purchased brand new Les Paul Customs within a few weeks of seeing that, and offered a trade even up for the Standard, which was declined. Hey...we were 15 or 16! 😆 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

79Sunburst 261 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 My brother called me today and asked why am I selling the Standard on Craigslist? I said because I was going to use the money to pick up an all original 4 digit. He said you'll never find another Hamer with a top that beautiful so what if it is retopped? He's right. Gonna hang onto it at least for now. Thanks for the comments. 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A man need at least two. That is minimum. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
