shankyboy Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Am I missing something or is this not a limited edition? According to "The Book" this model was the last of the limited Korina runs with only 35 made. (I have #005) If that is the case, the price seems very good given that the other limited Korina models are listing for 6K to 8K. https://reverb.com/item/71014329-hamer-artist-korina-clean-excellent-condition
topekatj Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Looks sweet! Is there binding on the top rim of the guitar? Trap inlays…. Hard to tell if the hardware is chrome or gold plated. No shot of the back headstock/ s/n. @shankyboy: does your instrument halve a special s/n?

Mine does have a serial number with the added "005" indicating what number it is in the series.

kizanski Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 If I were into Artists, I think I would rather have this HFC model. https://reverb.com/item/72206705-hamer-artist-korina-w-3-x-p90-s-2001-w-ohsc

JGale Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 I'd be sorely tempted towards Lollar Low-Winds and treating it like a hard-tail Strat.

Reached out and they are keeping it to local pickup as of now for anyone interested.

MJD Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Hey shankyboy... many thanks for the "heads up" on the Korina Artist! I had just glossed over it not realizing its significance. Just like mine... HA! That top is really choice. Mine is not even close. One out of 35 makes it rather unique I think! $2250.00

Seems like a solid price for something fairly rare and so nice looking!
