It's changed a bit from the Hamers I have and love.

I seem to recall something called a Hamer Californian back in the late 80s/early 90s ?????? - Sound Control used to stock them and they were really nice, around the £699 mark.  Would like to get my mits on one of those babies now.

I've owned five of them over the years, but sold all but one.

They're beautifully made, but I never quite bond with them somehow.  I think it's the neck shapes to blame.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

I like Rick Nielsen and his Explorer. They make true highend guitars at Hamer USA. The Talladega is GAS, but the price....
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.
