richardt4520 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 About 9 months ago I had been looking for something similar to a Rand, and discovered the Calis. There were a few that had been sitting on Reverb for a while but I hadn't discovered HFC yet so I didn't realize the prices were ok. Since they were sitting, I thought maybe they were overpriced. Wish those were still popping up now because I'd have no hesitation pulling the trigger on some of those. The rare times they popup no, they're all 3k+ it seems. While I can afford that, the 2 I have will have to do until I can find one at a reasonable price again. My Cali Standard is awesome, but I've just got to have another with boomers! Looks like no one's really selling them anymore. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a pair and they are just sick guitars, so i'm not in a huge hurry. Maybe i'll just get a green or purple sparkle repaint on the black standard body to make it pop more. The first Hamers i saw when i was playing clubs at 19 were played by a guy in another local band and they had boomers. So for some reason, Hamer superstrats without them always look like theyre missing something to me without them. My standard is a killer guitar so maybe fixing it up with a repaint, or just swapping the black hardware for gold will make it stick out a little more. The wife is pushing polka dots but i cant do that to that poor beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all my respect to u, all you r telling us is a way to hide how much you want an elite, and (in my little experience) if you do all u say, plus the $ u need for that, you will be happy in the begginings but : in the final you dont have the elite you want and u will have a refin standard ( Why you dont sell the standard and agree the money of repaint and hardware , and may be some bucks more and buy a real elite? Ask here for trade, you dint lose nothing, you can deal in the HFC with ( almost) your eyes closed. Dont touch the standard, and give time for your dreams come true, its only my opinion at the end, you must do what make u happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have an Elite. I bought the one that Dave's had up for sale in that post about all the Hamers that were put up for sale at once. I always keep around 1 guitar for my main guitar and I keep a backup that's the same/similar make and model so if I break a string in the middle of a set I can keep going without readjusting to an entirely different guitar. I don't usually keep any more guitars around than that. So it's not entirely necessary for me to have another Elite as a backup and more of a vanity want, more than anything. The standard really plays fantastic-just a tiny bit better than the Elite so I really should just be quiet and enjoy it. These things are super-addictive though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 While  I can’t say for certain,  there’s a couple of things that look or seem a little off about this. That neck heel doesn’t look quite right to me and a lack of any serial number shown or listed also concerns me. If I read it correctly, it doesn’t have an OHSC? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they just sit. I mean, no one here is going to pay $4500 for one. No idea why they'd think someone there would. Seems like they're just posting stuff with no real intent to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
