...I can see where the Chap comes too close to a Strat for comfort in the FMIC world but the other two are far enough off that it makes you wonder.

I'm not seeing this myself. After all, Fender owns Jackson and 90% of their output is superstrats. Fender's even letting Jackson use the strat headstock on certain models. I haven't asked for one (my buying new Hamer days are gone, probably never to return), but I'm guessing a no answer wouldn't have anything to do with Fender.

I agree 100% but large companies have a way of doing things I don't agree with.

On some level I think it even makes sense to look at it the reverse way - as long as some division of FMIC sells you what you want why should they care which one it is (assuming none of them are making cheap and crappy ones that dilute the brand names in any way).

This one's going to be a really nice guitar. Can't wait to see it finished.

Holy crap! I remember asking if Hamer would build a FB pretty much every year or so, since about '97. The answer was always "we're not interested in doing that". Glad to see things have changed!

A dark tobacco sunburst Hamer FB may very well be in the cards for me next year...woohoo!

Hopefully the pricing isn't too far into the stratosphere... wonder if they would even do a chambered version to open up the tone a little and save weight?

ps - I hope Hamer leaves the currently vacant DSP (Director of Sales Prevention) position unfilled.

I'd put the order in now if at all possible. You never know when things might change.
