Title: Gary Moore's Hamer?
Post by: blue on April 05, 2011, 01:36:58 PM: also spotted this. i think this crowd have been mentioned around here before? anyway, it's a lovely looking guitar, but even if it was Gary's, isn't this price a little optimistic?

i like how they've changed there name to music incorporated.

yet still have the mgleeds email address and music ground user ID.

£ 25,000? Just naked money lust, nothing realistic going on there. Still, some Japanese collector will no doubt come along and prove me wrong.

I absolutely HATE Music Inc's (or Music Ground's) eBay shop. They're (apparently) selling two Hamer Korina Vectors which they expect some mugs to pay £2,399 for, but they illustrate them both with the same poxy little photo. They don't seem to give a flying $%&# about their customers. I actually feel insulted by it. :x

Pah - Hamer are owned by Fender now - the pre-Fender ones are of more interest
£2400? Maybe it also comes with a free ride in a police car too.

Surely you'd just have me make you one instead?

I didn't even know that! :o I see Jol Dantzig has left too! Are they still built at the Hamer factory, or have Fender taken everything in-house?

Yes, I probably would - your '58 korina V looks fantastic. :D
