I don't know anything about this. Just saw it on the local Offer Up in Santa Monica CA. Looks like a good deal for a players grade guitar. https://offerup.com/item/detail/281761ca-f183-3c1b-ac10-aa3a9e00ec2e

Congratulations to the guys who got the first run. That is an awesome deal. Good luck to Shishkov I hope his business works out well. Question, since he is only one guy, any idea on how long the current 20 guitars or so he has on order are going to take? Is he going to be hiring some folks to help him now that he has a bunch of orders?

I saw these guys at a house party about a year before the album came out. I was blown away seeing what Eddie was doing. He did change the world. I don't think most young guys really realize what a game changer he was.

Soloway guitars does some nice ones.

I played that guitar. I bought ToneJunkies red one from him. He was keeping that one at the time or it would have been mine. Good luck on the sale. Somebodies gonna get a good guitar.

Here is a link to the boy with the guitar and his message to everyone who contributed. Thanks again. He is a heck of a player. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.p...=42190&st=0

Just got an email from Geoff. The kid got the guitar and loves it. He will be getting the care package from Elduave on Monday when he sees Geoff for his lesson. Geoff has some video that he will be posting shortly of the kid playing the guitar. Thanks again to everyone who participated in this. We done good.

Yeah give us an update Geoff.

The guitar has been shipped. It will be arriving to Geoff's house on Wednesday. The kid will be getting shortly thereafter. We had $40 left over and sent it to Dave from Rocketeria and he is putting a care package together. It will include some strings, straplocks and some string cutters. I am sure Geoff will update us later this week. Thanks again for everyone who donated cash.

WE MADE IT. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. Thanks to Everyone who Particiapted. We had 24 people make donations. I have now collected $585. I am charging $500 for the guitar. I think shipping will be around $50. I will buy him a few sets of strings with the balance unless someone has a better idea. Again, I don't know how I got involved but thanks for letting me, this have been a great experience. I know this kid will love this thing.

Hold on stop everything. If he doesn't cut of his strings, I can't send him this guitar. LOL!

I have now collected $410. Almost all the way there. This is amazing.

We are now up to 13 people contributing. We are over $250. Things are moving. Thanks to everyone. This is cool You send me money via paypal. The address is [email protected]

We are at $115 from 5 different guys. His cost is now $435 including shipping. Keep them coming. Let's get him the guitar for Easter.

$45 in so far. Shipping is now covered for him. Now lets start working on lower his cost of the guitar!

Ok guys, let's make this happen for this kid. I am selling him the $700 guitar for $500 plus shipping. Anything you want to contribute will help lower his cost. If we collect extra, we can send some to Geoff for more lessons for the kid. You can make a contribution by sending me money through Paypal. Send the money as personal/gift and then Paypal won't charge any fees. We made it guys, no more donations for this one needed. You guys are awesome. Let the generosity begin! I am not sure how I got involved in this thing, but it feels good to help a kid in need. Geoff, did you find those videos of him playing yet?

Steve - that is a killer deal! That's very cool. I'm in if the kid needs help. Keep us posted. This is the guitar I bought from you. It plays really well and sounds good.

Sorry for the bad pics. I did them all in about 10 minutes. I will get better ones later if you want. Let me know if you think it is the right guitar for him. If it isn't I will contribute towards another guitar.

Here are some very quick pictures of the guitar. It is in very good shape. There is one little minor ding by the knobs but not through the surface. It has a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge and a Gibson Neck pickup.

I have a black mahagony Artist. It is clean. It has Gibson pickups in it. It has an orginal case. It would would be great. I posted it recently for over $700 but I will let it go to him for $500 plus shipping. I will get you some pictures tomorrow.

I have a black Artist Mahagony that I would let go for $700 shipped and paypalled. Here is an old pictures of it. If there is some interest, I will take some new photos.

These are fun to play. I have a Fender with one in it from the factory. It might be for sale if anyone is interested let me know.

Here is mine. Before everyone gets upset, I bought this one with a poorly repaird broken headstock and it was pretty beat before I started modifying it. I has pickups from a 50's Kay Thin Twin and a Harmony Stratotone. It sounds really like a 50's guitar but I get the modern Hamer playability. It is an 80's guitar I believe. It has an ink serial number.

I just bought this firebird body on Ebay today. I am going to match it up with a Hamer Daytona neck I have sitting around. So it will almost be a Hamer. Any thoughts on a finish color for this flamer?
