HAMER about
In 1977 Hamer produced the "Sunburst", a double cutaway LP Jr with a curly maple top and either binding and crowns or plain with dots. In 1978, they built their first 12- string bass from an order from Cheap Trick's bassist, Tom Peterson. When these were played through an Ampeg SVT, it truly was the 'Hamer of the Gods'! King's-X is even more remembered for that sound, that no electronic gear can duplicate ... Hamer seasoned the high quality wood used for the necks and therefore had very few neck warpage issues. Other companies, motivated by production schedules could not do this, and so there was no real competition.
Frank Untermeyer, who was working on his Master's Degree in international business, joined Hamer and Dantzig in 1978 and added cash and marketing skills. Jol kept 60% of the company, Hamer 20% and Untermeyer 20%. They then moved to Palatine, Illinois and in 1980 to a 12,000 square foot building in Arlington Heights, where they stayed until 1997. Eventually Hamer was bought out by Kaman (the company who owned Ovation and the USA distribution of Takamine), who held on to it until Fender bought Kaman in 2008.
Fender recently sold off all of their existing warehoused Hamers and are only taking a few custom orders. Fender still owns the name, but the future of Hamer is uncertain. Their greatest creations, built from 2002 until 2008 when Willcutt Guitars was their largest dealer, will become true collector's items because under Jol Dantzig's care, were as close to the 'Ultimate' as possible.

2008 HAMER Studio Cusom
Es könnte die letzte LH-gebaute Hamer sein zumindest für Willcutt Guitars 2007/8. Die Qualität der Hölzer und Verarbeitung ist tadellos, das gewölbte Top atemberaubend. Gewicht ca. 4,1 kg und klasse Setup; damit sind Handling und Spielbarkeit so wie G*bson dies gerne hätte!
Es ist die am fettesten klingende HB-Gitarre, die ich je an einen Amp angeschlossen habe; nichts klirrt und jede Nuance ist rund und präsent
20170711: Setup neu nach sehr leichtem Abrichten der Bundierung; top Antesten wäre eine gute Option... JK
