ebradfordrich Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 sold 4/3 Looking to move this one along. Such a faithful copy of the Firebird that Gibson took issue and sued. Doug had to change up the design after the cease and desist order. There aren’t too many of these V1s floating around out there. (I think that Scott Holiday owns most of them.). It’s a great guitar that’s fully wasted on me as a primarily a bass player. I’d be interested in Standards or other interesting Hamers of comparable value. Asking $1999 CONUS for my HFC brethren for a straight sale.

ebradfordrich Posted December 29, 2021 Author Posted December 29, 2021 And for some more background, this was a really good interview with Doug Kauer. He’s a really good dude. https://guitar.com/features/interviews/talking-shop-kauer-guitars-doug-kauer/
pirateflynn Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 I’ve had three of Doug’s guitars. Good stuff, for sure.
ebradfordrich Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Still available in case anyone is interested.
Jakeboy Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Curious ….do the pickups have a bird tonality or are they “standard” humbuckers, for lack of a better word. That is a gorgeous guitar.

That is a gorgeous guitar. Thanks! Here’s a clip (not mine) of a similar Kauerbucker-equipped, newer Banshee. Not exactly the same but you get the idea. https://youtu.be/9LU4MztEUS0
ebradfordrich Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 Bumping for a big price drop. I need to get this one rehomed to free up some funds. Looking for $2,500 shipped fully insured for value.
ebradfordrich Posted April 3, 2022 Author Posted April 3, 2022 Lopped another $500 off asking. Would also consider trades for a Cruise or Chap bass plus some cash. Lemme know what you’ve got.
