Hamer owners are not dealing well with collectors company ng into their world. As nobody can afford Fender/ Gibson they are looking at other brands. Only a few have figured out what is coming. I have fielded offers of only 8000 bucks for the Standard I am working with. The guy was kinda pushy, until I pointed out he could go buy a current limited issue Paul for that.
My friend jumped the gun a while ago and posted pictures all over the internet of the guitar. It drew some notes Hamer collectors, who quickly went away when he couldn't answer questions on a player/ collector level. Probably killed a chance at an easy sale. Totally killed anything I was working on to market the guitar. Owner doesn't need money so he's sitting on it until things die down. I suspect the instrument will end up in Europe, like a number of it's former band mates instruments have.
