Ok help deciding
So I have wanted a lp custom forever. Don't have to have one, but I'm also in a money bind. I have way too many guitars that I am not using. Currently I am only using the Axcess, lp standard, and 2 teles, sometimes the lp special.
So I have th e following that I will need to figure out what to sell:
Hamer tele t51 Reverend susceptible. With spare pick guard and fully wired for hum/hum Lp jr Mexi tele 72 deluxe Japan Squier strat 87 Lp special 2012 baked maple Xavier tele
The reverend and hamers each will fetch just under a grand.
Oh also have the 77 deluxe that I'm not using.
I can sell a bunch of cheaper ones or the rev and hamer and other assorted little parts....
Or do I sell the jump?
let's hear some ideas here.

Re: Ok help deciding
If it was me, i would prolly keep the Hamer Tele and the Jap Squier Strat. Would prolly want to keep the Hamer LPJr too(that is what you have yeah?). Would probably sell the LP special baked maple, with what i personally would want from it being found more or less in the Hamer Jr. anyhow, and with me feeling like the Hamer is a bit more of a rare bird these days and worth hanging onto if possible. Would prolly lose the Xavier Tele if i didn't need it as a cheapo at-work guitar anymore, and would prolly drop the Reverend too, but that is more because i personally am not into them too much. The MIM Tele Deluxe, i might be inclined to move, if i was really feeling like i just had too many guitars around. But then again, a Deluxe is a bit different flavor of tele, so i might keep it. I might be inclined in general, to use it more than it sounds like you are though, so there is that.

Re: Ok help deciding
Which Reverend is it again, and what were you thinking price-wise?
Because, that might be something I would want (99.9% sure it is), but I would definitely have to sell some stuff first (shouldn't be hard, the CL here in Raleigh is stupid active.)
I was thinking of letting go the Vox and some other things, and I have wanted that Reverend forever IIRC. That would be a good motivator to lessen the herd myself, and a chance to have a snazzy ass guitar.

Re: Ok help deciding
The reverend the the slingshot custom, one of the old USA ones. I will post a pic.
The hamer is the hamer telecaster that white one, which seems to get a good amount for them, but I just never play it. But I feel I don't play it just because I just settle on the other teles.
The Gibson jr I like, but no use for it right now, the Gibbs special I picked up to be a cheap lp for gigs we do outside or by the beach, which we do over the summer.

Re: Ok help deciding
Ah, so you don't really like the Hamer Tele? Dump it then. They are probably worth something, and if you are playing an MIM or a Xavier over it, maybe it isn't quite superduper. I know the Hamers are generally very well reviewed, but surely not all of them are going to be all that. If you keep using other ones instead, then why keep it around. I think that at some point they are likely to be worth some money, but they did make a bunch of them so it won't likely be any time soon i would guess. If the LPJr is a Gibson and not what i thought for some reason was a Hamer DC version, then for sure, let it go. Especially if you are using the Special more. For a dood who plays out as much as you do, having a relative beater for potentially messy shows seems a good idea.

Re: Ok help deciding
We the hamer tele is funny, I like it just in GnR I play the fender more because its the same color etc as Izzys. And I use the cheaply mim tele because I spent th emit setting up the pups just vol vol and switch no tone. Love it that way, and did the coil split.

Re: Ok help deciding
Have a hard time figuring out edit on tapatalk so... I may get rid of the 72 delux, the Gibby jr, the jap Squier and maybe the reverend. That would put me close to the custom. I bet if I spent a few minutes setting up the hamer wiring it like the mim I would use it all the time. But maybe not.

Re: Ok help deciding
They beat me to the punch. That sounds like a plan. In short: off the stuff you don't use but is worth money. Gear triage.

Re: Ok help deciding
yeah, I think the Jr will go first, and probably the reverend, although that has one of the best necks I have ever played. I may have to think about the 77 lp since I can get the most out of that one and see how I feel about the rest.
