That was originally on Guitar Center's used site for $500.  I was too late then......

$500 seems closer to a realistic price than $900. Not that there's anything wrong with this one or the Hayman brand, it's just that there never was much of a demand for them.

When I tried to sell my Embassy in the early '90s, nobody wanted them, either.  Mine sat on consignment for over a year, with no interest.  The store (Flynn Guitars?) finally called with an "offer" but couldn't even find the number of the person who was interested.  Funny how times change.

That Hayman is a homely looking thing.

Agreed. Probably another reason it didn't sell well. The company that built them under contract launched their own Shergold brand because they had so many leftover Hayman bodies.

It obviously had an influence on the Wal Mark I.

It's ugly and utilitarian (yet not in the end really practical) like only something Limey can be! But I like it. Endearingly ugly. I remember them sounding nasty, but not bad.
