Ya know, I wasn't even implying that Hamer should start making shred models again, I like their current models, like the Vector, Standard and Special, I'd play metal with any of those models...Hamers shred models are by far my least favorite of their models.
Thanks Guys. I hope I'm not coming off as greedy, cause I'm not, I've bought every piece of gear I own. Just getting some guff from bandmates, saying maybe I should buy a Gibson...I'm not really into Gibsons, never have liked their necks, and the neck is just about the most important thing to me on a guitar. Thanks for all the good advice.
Yea, at some point, I'd say yes. But realize that we're in the same realm as Mastodon and Slayer, so it'd be a different scale. I've never gotten any equipment free and don't expect any, I play what I like, not because someone else plays it. How many people do you know that play Robin Raiders? Even heard of a Robin Raider?
I'm looking for a new guitar, I'm having a tough time deciding between Gibson and Hamer. The band I'm in are getting some record label talk... The other guitarist plays Gibson SG's and I've been playing the same Robin since 1992, but Robin kinda blows as far as endorsements( which is funny...we're a Houston band, they're a Houston guitar company...). At some point down the road I'm wondering after our CD comes out and we're touring if someone like Hamer has endorsements.
I like Boogies, I've had ten of them from MKIII's (3 of them), Dual rectifier, tri-recto, 2 Studio Peamps, DC-10, MKIV, and finally a 1989 .50 Cal+ that I've had since 1991.
