FMIC destroys another classic brand - no more Hamer

FMIC has a track record of buying classic brands like Fender, Guild, Gretsch, Jackson, Hamer, etc.... Once they own the brand they simply make low end imported junk carrying the classic label.

As someone who grew up loving the classic guitars it's frustrating to see "instruments" of such low quality carrying the cool brand names. From what I understand Fender doesn't even make American amplifiers anymore. It's sad.

Anyway, say goodbye to Hamer.

Actually, I guess the EC and some of the tweed stuff are still really nice.
by pro level i meant like DRRI and up. thought they were all still usa.

It's because nobody outside of Cheap Trick gives a flying shit about Hamer guitars.
Have you ever played one? They're a LOT nicer than most production guitars, as a generalization.
