Another quick catch - Hamer Special

[lhrocker]

I just picked this one up on a trade - 1994 Hamer Special. It has a vintage look to it with the covered JB/59's and lots of traditional relicing. Don't know what what else to say, except it weighs almost nothing compared to my Les Pauls. Now the big question is do I work on it, keep it or turn it around? Who knows...

Very nice, Pete! I've got a '95 Special FM (flame maple top) that's killer.

i have one with P90's, a '93. they are nice gitars. i wish mine had humbuckers though so i could use it more onstage. the P90's hum WAY to much. i tried those di'marzio P90 shaped humbuckers, but the "meat" of the guitar vanished. it became a wimpy, thin sounding turd - instead of the throaty, growling beast that it is now.

sweet! I've always wanted a white one of those. They remind me of Steve Stevens & Gary Moore.

i tryed some really pretty hamers when i perchased my Explorer and i could not get on with them as they felt like Epiphone. Hows that play?

Did you play a USA Hamer or an import?

[lhrocker]

Except maybe one of the Indonesian/Chinese made ones, No USA Hamer I ever played felt like an Epiphone. Go back and try them again... only USA's say USA on the headstock.

I wasn't aware that China or Idonesia were in the US, A new state?
