FS: Hamer Chaparral Custom (Gary Moore prototype)

[LexxLecter]

I haven’t got even an idea to sell or trade it, until one HFC member offered me. But... I will start from the issues: the item is in Russia and I can’t sell it for money. Only trading. Here the issues started appearing: no direct export of musical instruments from US. No money transfers cuz of goddamn SWIFT, Visa/Mastercard etc. 

If you are still reading it, then I can say few words about the item and the ways we can trade.

Its a 1987 Custom Chaparral w OHSC. 25,5 scale, rosewood fingerboard, low original frets (almost mint condition), Emilac shielded cavities (including pickup), BN Rebel Yell, CTS pot, new GOTOH 1996 tremolo (Set on original stud holes. Original studs included. Its a little bit moved from OFR original centre to a high E string). Its in an excellent technical condition: plug and play!

Here the example of some playing on it: 

As for wearing: one belt ding on a back (1,5*1,5 cm), some scratches near backplate, no plate for springs, headstock dings from a wall hook. I own it for 12 years and it was on the wall for about 10. Thats why nitro has cracked. 

As for guitar background...I DONT have any direct facts that it was played or owned by Gary (Neil Carter remembers only the pink one, Jol havent gave me a respond) but here the facts we have:

1. Vintage Guitars catalogue says that shell pink was made for Gary

2. An old HFC serial base tells that shell pink Chap got a 718025 serial. This one got a 718027

3. Exactly same specs like 1pu, binding, flat top

4. Gary (technically Neil) used it on a Ready for love music video

5. I got this topic in HFC few years ago about its roots...but as I told above - I CANT be 100% sure it was belonged or played by Gary.

 

 

And finally...the HFC rules says that the price should be named, even for trading. Idk with all the logistic issues am asking for 4K$ NET equivalent.

The shipping from US accepted to Latvia or Finland. All the other details in DM. First of all for trading is required PRS CE 24 DW, Dean ML USA (black or dimeslime) and any kind of 7 string Mayones. Anyway DM me.

 

Thx for your attention. Have a good day!

Still on sale, guys. Regular sale for money accepted. 

 

The logistics issues seem to be solved. Direct shipping to US.

Please excuse my ignorance but I have to ask... what's up with the mask?.. it sure doesn't instill confidence in a money transaction
