(WTB) FOUND: Douglas Hawker / Shine WT-440 / Deltatone single cut "LP-style"

[Lacking Talent]

WTB thread of mine from the old board now posted on this new forum: Looking to buy one of the no-longer-made guitars listed above, in any of the finishes pictured below. PM me if you've got an example in Excellent condition that you're ready to part with it, thanks...!

I wish you luck, but it doesn't appear to be anyone in the "I need money THAT BAD" mode at the moment.
I have a couple of Dougies & they punch well above their co$t.

I would like to congratulate you on what is, I believe, the first WTB post in the new era.

[Lacking Talent]

Thanks!

Those kinda remind me of the Ibanez pf guitars of the 70s

[Lacking Talent]

Took a look, and I see what you mean (though I prefer the chubbier/stubbier silhouette of these)!

I love my Ibanez PF300!

Sweet. That is so beautiful. Setneck?

[Lacking Talent]

They were, yes.

WTB bump.

Were they called the ISIS for awhile. Then they had to change it because of the terrorist ISIS. Changed to isil?

No, the ISIS was this https://www.rondomusic.com/ky1cus24na.html

which was a renaming of the KY1 (don't know why) which became the SIS under rondo's Hadean line.

Man good luck with that one. I haven't seen any of these come up since they were sold, really. I guess people hang on to em, or put em in the closet and forget about em!

[nomadh]

Yea good luck and update this thread now and then but I think you need to setup some international search crawlers

Maybe there is an upscale dean evo that you might look at. I have the cheap ver of the vendetta strat type dean and its an impressive cheapie. The low end are bolt neck but going upscale they have very nice setnecks. $150 used

[rrobbone]

I want one of these too, but never pulled the trigger when Rondo was selling them. I especially like the maple neck.

They pop up on Reverb from time to time (usually for waaaaay more than they're worth) and I'd be happy to mention them here when I see them. What's your price range?

There's a nice T420-F up right now (not exactly what you're asking for, but still...): https://reverb.com/item/34224244-shine- ... y-sunburst

[nomadh]

So why the hawker? Isnt it basically an lp? Is it you like a std singlecut but just want something more unique? Some special feature or what?

[Lacking Talent]

Have fallen in love with its particular size and shape (and the wood/finish combos on display above); I'd imagine that must have happened to you, too -- and many other players, as well -- with some guitar at some point...

When I first joined AGF, coming out of only playing acoustic for a few years, that KY1 in amber was going to be my "last" guitar, do do-it-all. They were around $200 then, if not less. Somehow that never happened and no regrets Still, I think they were a pretty cool offering.

I think so too. They are my favorite SX/Hadean model!

dabbler, I am afraid to ask: how many of those sofas do you have?
