Yep, not sure why they weren't showing that way for me earlier, but I've edited the thread title accordingly.

Aren’t those all formerly from The Fung Collection?

(Yes, they are)

[svl]

Is that a decent price for the Virt? The Sunburst is gone.

[topekatj]

E.E.3.3. On the peghead of the Firebird = Elliot Easton?

ETA: I can still see the Sunburst

Yes. That’s one of Elliot’s old Hamers.

A Sustain block Virt at that... talk about a rare bird...

I thought about picking it up but the fact that it's at GC is a little suspect 🤔

To pretend to be Hendrix?

Go grab it, they have a no questions asked return period, it's 2 weeks I think..Long enough to see if there's anything wrong with it

It's been a moment since I last saw that specific Virtuoso! 

All three Hamers are unique but the Virt is really special. As far as pricing on the VIrt that would be reasonable.  A decade ago, there were a couple that sold for over $5K. 

As far as I know, the only reason it is at that GC is due to proximity and an the Buyers interest in promoting some guitars that were not your standard F&G variety. 

There have been several dealers (primarily on the West Coast) whom have sought out Hamers and unqiue guitars FFTFC (Formerly From the Fung Collection).  

If one was looking for something unique and or specific especially a USA Hamer, now would be the time to reach out to HamStd and inquire.

Das virt es stiel lishted

Ad sez Korina from the old Kalamazoo Gibson factory?

[Biz Prof]

Interesting.  It went from "This item is no longer available" to posted again.

[Cboss]

Someone grab that please.. that would be a no-brainer investment and so cool if it stayed in the family/came back to the family

I think its distressed being at guitar center, it's looking around with an expression like wait a minute guys, there's been a mistake here..

Guitar Center will ship it internally to whichever store is closest to you for free, they did this with a centaura that I rescued from Florida

[Steve Haynie]

Will the Virtuoso have a case, or is that separate?

[hamerhead]

 

$5k and still available? My, how times have changed.

Not only times but people... 2 years ago, I would have snagged it up without a second thought, but nowadays I'm into modifying cheap $40 used Squiers 🤣
