Title: Sweet Hyak Guitar on Craigslist LA
Post by: room037 on June 16, 2012, 08:41:34 AM

Hyak Guitar appeared on  Craigslist LA. (http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/msg/3080831194.html)
It has so sweet heart inlays on fingerboard and tailpiece.
Nice Quilted maple top and back are rare for Hyak.(I've never seen it)
The price is $3500, but I think bit higher.

Nice! I know that Heart was using these back during their creation... with those inlays and tailpiece I wonder if there is an association.

I also know the heart inlay on Robert's Purpleheart Hyak bass.
But it was replaced new fingerboard and inlays, so I thought the inlays were Robert's original idea.

Want to start a pool on how many minutes it takes Bill to grab this one?

Thanks for my morning laugh , Peter!  She is a beauty, though significantly over-priced IMHO.  I've also never seen one in maple before.Thankfully, I already have a Hayk guitar or I'd probably be agonizing over this one.  Still looking for an old Becvar and an old Dolan.
 
Bill, tgo

Bill is well aware how much I've wanted a Hyak. But, alas, I must agree with his assessment that this is WAY overpriced. At $1000-1500 less, I wouldn't think twice.
