Sell or Not??

I'm in an interesting position. About a year or so ago I bought a new Hamer USA Duotone guitar that I really like, I bought it mainly for the piezo option. I haven't played it much since getting my 660, and now I'm really liking the 1-3/4" nut on the 660 that I have some trouble on the slightly thinner Hamer neck.

So here's my delema, I could sell the Hamer and order a 380L-PZ which would fill my want of a piezo equipped guitar and probably have a little cash left over. Or keep it and see if I adapt back to it. I do like the Hamer a lot, but I really really really like the 1-3/4 nut width a lot also.

I'll probably do that Chris, thanks for your reply.

It's funny, I should have expected that ansewer on this board......

What was the answer on the Hamer board?

LOL.......the ansewer over there was exactly as I expected also.

I guess I was hoping to get replies from folks who played or owned a 380LPZ.

Thanks for replying!!

Mine has a handful of upgrades compaired to that one, even though that is a nice guitar also.

Ended early with Buy It Now at $1400.

One thing I don't like about the 380L is the "fatter" neck (fretboard-to-back-of-neck distance). Seems more of a chore playing it compared to my other Rickenbackers.

Ebay is a funny funny thing sometimes, I just ordered a new 380L-PZ for almost $200 less. It's the fatter neck that I'm looking forward to, I could never get use to the thinner necks on some of the other RIC models.

Now all I have to do is be patient.

I got an odd feeling about the ebay one only because the photos never showed the whole guitar.
And Bob-$200.00 less? Great! Maybe there's now a preconception that once it's built, the value goes up!

Hey Jerry, I had to order mine so maybe dealers that have these models in stock charge more for the them? I don't mind waiting.
