Hamer USA Artist Studio Semi-Hollow SOLD
What's Hot
1995 Hamer USA Artist Studio Semi Hollow Double Cut in 59 Burst colour - £950 SOLD
Continuing to rationalise my gear as I had to retirement and downsizing
I acquired this from the wonderful
@prudd and have lightly played it at home so it is in the same condition as I got it and the description below is taken from the original listing (I hope that is okay @prudd )Hamer made amazing guitars, to my mind they are far better built than similar USA brands but they have never really got the following they truly deserve. A beautiful archtop featuring a carved flamed solid maple top, One piece figured Honduran Mahogany body and Hamer's very stable 3 piece mahogany neck, East Indian Rosewood fretboard, factory Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups, and Schaller tuners. Very resonant and a comfortable weight of 8Lbs
Used but certainly not abused, the comfortable chunky neck plays like a dream, The only thing that I have done is had the frets attended to by the equally wonderful
@RevMatt as am pernickety about frets, much more so than any other guitarist I know!
Comes with original Hamer hard case.
Electrics all spot on. Frets all good. Adjustable wrap over stop tail piece.
Comments
The quality of early Hamers is outstanding and they are very fine guitars.
Quite a few of these have sold for very considerably more money ......I have played one quite a few times and they are lovely...I've not been a huge fan of the pickups but that's a very personal issue between me and Seth Lover unpotted PAFS in general......others love them .However the 'feel' of the guitar,neck and the comfort of the carved top is exquisite .
This is stunning value for money ......easily the equal of £3500 of the PRS equivalent
59 burst is soooo lovely - especially on that top!
Good luck with your sale!
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
GLWTS.
Si
Also having been asked separately about trades, As I have put in a wanted listing, I am after an MJW as my one amp So would certainly consider a part exchange in involving an MJW - ideally an Orion or perhaps other MJW with power scaling ideally as I am downsizing house wise
Easy part - Scale Length - 24.75”
Harder part is ‘tappable’- currently isn’t tapped for sure
My understanding is that Seth Lovers are too low output for a ‘good’ coil tap and don’t come 4 conductor as standard???
But I could be wrong, better qualified people may hopefully chime in
It never troubled me as I like the Seths just as they are but you could always swap pickups as Seths should get a good price imo
Cheers
