Members BG76 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 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.http://www.mi-pro.co.uk/index.php/ne...-follow/017230 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BG76 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Do they make "pro level amps" anymore? Last I heard (not sure) the Vibro King was being made in Mexico. Actually, I guess the EC and some of the tweed stuff are still really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ptdesign Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Maybe Fender will cut that headstock down and give it a proper pitch. Like 17 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 There's a reason Fender did this. It's because nobody outside of Cheap Trick gives a flying {censored} about Hamer guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 As the American economy dies, and our American lifestyles become more expensive to maintain, so the rock-star-guitarist-as-a-career dream will just keep dying a long and slow death. Eventually no one will care about that anymore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever played one? They're a LOT nicer than most production guitars, as a generalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
