1 bottlerocket Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Has anyone played a build? I saw a nice korina dbl cut at the Music Emporium that looks tasty. I am surprised that Gibson isn't giving him a hard time for the open book style head stock on some of his builds, or maybe they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Considering how many used Hamers are still circulating, a build like this just seems unnecessary, especially at that price. 31 minutes ago, 1 bottlerocket said: I am surprised that Gibson isn't giving him a hard time for the open book style head stock on some of his builds, or maybe they have? If they haven't already, I suspect they will, and send out the 'deceased and resist' ('cease and desist') letters soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 bottlerocket Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I agree that the price is on the high side. I have seen about three Hamer Korina specials pop up since I have been looking for one, but so far I have not felt comfortable going through with the purchase.

ARM OF HAMER Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 And long ago there was this one also.............................never have seen a repeat of this model by this builder. 15K was the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 bottlerocket Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Was that the guy in Sweden, Gustavsson? What a tool. Back when he built for a reasonable price I sent him an email asking about a build. He never answered and one day four years later he replied with a price list that was in the stratosphere with a wait time to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 $4,200... (used) One could have the pick of the litter of bound & crowned vintage Sunburst for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Even if money was no object, I'm not sure I'd ever feel comfortable laying out out 42-hundred simoleons for a "Rodri-gweez" copy of a Sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right, the inlays are positioned correctly. The whole guitar needs to move about 1 inch to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
