Members Rocketman248 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I had an early 90's USA made Daytona in a Sunburst finish with a maple fretboard and pearloid pickguard. It had the Sperzal locking tuners, and Wilkinson tremolo. I sold it back in 2003 to fund another hobby, and I have regreted it ever since.I'm always on the lookout for another one though! *hint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JorisBlack Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 The funny thing on Hamer here in Europe is that the new ones are very expensive, but the really early ones are very affordable. The 4-digit and the 78 sunburst (the bound & crowned) were even brought to my place to test, and I got them for half the going price in the States. Nobody seems to want Hamers over here. Best deal I did was this '81 prototype with sustainblock for 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brett Valentine Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 You know those import Hamers? umm. . . they reproduce. . . bought this morning on ebay ($250.00 w/case) no matter what kind of day it is, NGD is a good day!

Members lndianScout Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 I personally believe that the Hamer imports are about the best imports on the market, the import I play as my beater is fantastic the pups and workmanship is amazing..

Members fretmonster Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 I personally believe that the Hamer imports are about the best imports on the market, the import I play as my beater is fantastic the pups and workmanship is amazing.. I agree, they just seem more alive acoustically than the average import fare. I had a Korean made SATF that was a fantastic guitar but sold it when I got my US Hamer Special as they cover the same ground basically. Still miss it sometimes.

Members Dr Stein Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 How come they don't make USA California models anymore?I bought mine in 1992 and still use it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brett Valentine Posted August 7, 2007 Members Share Posted August 7, 2007 I remember reading (I think it was in Vintage Guitar) that Jol Dantzig had decided to go back to that "new vintage" philosophy as the music scene changed. Still 27 frets can be useful. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fade2Grey Posted August 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 How come they don't make USA California models anymore? I bought mine in 1992 and still use it today. I know what you mean about the Californian. Their superstrats/shredders are just killer... i mean, look at the spread, Cali, Diablo, Centaura, SS, Vintage S, and the list goes on and on...it's quite sad to see that they don't make them anymore...I wonder, though, if they'd make it if I custom ordered one from their factory? I know for a fact that they still do custom orders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brett Valentine Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 The SATF arrived last evening. Even prettier than the picture. The new electronics and Schaller locking tuners are installed, just waiting on the Phat Cats. Don't know if it's my imagination or not, but it really feels like the neck on the SATF (one of the earlier ones that says "XT Series") has a more substantial neck than the more recent SATQ. . .

Actually it's just a standard Cali. I'm told by people in the know that the finish is called iridescent (now if only i could spell it)You really want to see a bowling ball finish!

Members Fade2Grey Posted August 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 Can i add my shreddigham forest? ... ... That's a beautiful shred forest alright! Now we know where all the Chaps, Diablos and Calis went! Anyway, that one Centaura sure looks lonely there... maybe you should cheer it up by sending it to me... my centaura should keep it company Seriously though, i think i'm in Hamer shred heaven... I don't think i've seen so many Hamer shredders together before! *drools* So that looks like 16 Hamer Shred-machines! How long have you been having them? Did they cost much? I mean did you buy them new or collected 'pre-loved'? Do Diabs, Chaps and Calis share the same body shape? I know that the Centaura is a 15/16 size of a strat body. I guess that's why i like it so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
