Needs gold knobs but after that, perfect for me. Great score.

Nice score! Sunburst? Guess it got painted at some point.

I flipped it.

Is it in bad taste to say what you sold it for? I don't know the decorum on these things.

Yes. It's in bad taste to ask.

Nah - they called all of those MIK doublecuts "sunburst" for some reason - even the non-sunburst ones

This one was MIC.

Apologies. Just want to kick myself for not making an offer.

It was a quick decision. I sold it to a shop and still made a profit. If I didn't need the money and couldn't make a decent profit, I would have kept it. I liked it well enough that I will probably buy another when things are a bit better. I really like the feel of Hamers. I put the stock pickups back in before I sold it.

You should've sold it before you bought it

So jelly...

Nothing quite as exciting as playing the guitar-futures market.

 

[GDSmithTX]

Hamerman approves

Can't touch that deal, that's fer sure.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

Nice score.

I did not know they had those produced in China, as I thought they ceased those model while still MIK. Thanks for the clarification.
