FS: Hamer Monaco XT

[Jim85IROC]

I just finished this one up.  It's completely stock. I cleaned up the fret ends, polished the frets and treated the fretboard.  This one is really, really nice.  I should probably keep it, but I already have another doublecut inbound.  I haven't stopped playing it since I got it cleaned up.  Pickups are PAF-like with around a 7.8k neck and an 8.5k bridge (I'm posting from memory... I measured them last week).  It's a good sounding guitar and it plays amazingly.  Make sure to watch the video at the end to see how great this top looks.

I don't want to call anything "mint" because I'm sure that if you look hard enough that you can find something, but this one is damn close.

Asking $450 plus shipping.

In person the burst looks less abrupt, more like the first picture.

Here's a good look at the fretwork and the fretboard.  This board feels as smooth as the ebony board on my Studio Custom

Here's a video that shows how dynamic the top is:

Nice looking top, but how about some audio of you playing the thing?   You read in so many ads, "... this guitar practically plays itself," but I guess that is just hyperbole. 

Anyway, this is a good deal for somebody!

My son is having the black with cream binding version for years. He‘s playing it unchainged ever since. It‘s a great sounding instrument.

I have a black one of these as well.  They do play nicely.  Someone won't be disappointed.
