brddg Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Dang. Saw the title and thought you HAD one for sale. Total letdown. Good luck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Unfortunately, there just aren’t many of those out there. I can probably count on my fingers the ones I’ve seen appear for sale since 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, for years there was nothing then it seems like a few years ago "within a couple of months" there was a odd run of 2 or 3 for sale, since then, absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I went googling for you and this is as close as I could find. They only got to MkIII, not V. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humber_Sceptre Seriously though, best of luck on the hunt. Will shout if I see one.

Is the scepter a one off (bridge and inlays never seen on a scepter before)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, the sound is one of best guitars I have ever owned or played... & the V is 25.5 scale with a Floyd so it's completely different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted to sell it, I wouldn't know where to begin. I bought it 35 years ago and have no clue as to what it may be worth. I've been out of the loop for so long. Btw, if that's your black standard, it's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't mean to single your post out, was just the theme of a thread I was reading while listening to the Who. 😉 Re: the standard, thanks! It's actually a Shishkov (#33) and it's oxblood on top but looks black in most pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that belong to Mr. Watson at one time? I know he had at least one Scepter V in white, I seen some photos of him with just a white Vector with binding as well. Most of his Mid 80's Hamers Had the PJ Marx pickups though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
