Holy Grail NGD - Hamer USA

So ever since I started getting GAS there's always been a few guitars that have never left the list. Top of it was a Hamer Artist USA Korina. A simple, dual SD P90 semi-hollow, ntaural finish & crafted in the USA. I was pretty disappointed when Hamer shut up shop, knowing that it would be a long wait if I ever got my hands on one.

Lo and behold, flicking through Reverb, I saw one pop up on my feed, at a music store an hour away. That weekend I trotted down there, picked it up off the wall and nearly immediately fell in love. It's light, shows minimal signs of wear for a 15+ yrs old guitar, feels high quality and has that great P90 tone we all know and love. Straight away put some money down and until last weekend, fully paid it off and picked her up.

Welcome my newest addition to the family!

Also thinking about replacing the black plastic with these for a little pop of color!

Sweet! A 93 Hamer Special owner myself.

How is the Neck? Slender? Thick?

Pickups: Are they the hotter Duncan ceramic P90s?

Freakin gorgeous guitar, congrats!

Thanks mate. Now part of the Hamer family!

Neck is a touch thinner than say a Gibson 50s rounded profile. Lotsa meat, and I didn't think I'd get along with it initially, but the more I play it the more it 'fits'. Gloss finish which is super slick and better than any Gibson neck I've ever played. From what I can tell, it has the Hot P90 neck and Custom P90 bridge, both ceramic. The bridge is great, I'm sitting on the fence about the neck as it's a touch woolly, but I still haven't played around with pickup heights and amp settings yet!

maybe just swap the magnets for the neck? a3/a5 maybe?
