Beautiful axe!

Love those boomerang inlays!

                                       I love those guitars in every way they are fantastic instruments but as I so seldom used/use a trem................I wish Hamer among others would have offered a stop tail version of these guitars. I have purchased guitars over the years that had Kahler and Floyd style trems but I didn't keep them for very long. That a great looking guitar in any case.

Apparently it was an option if you asked nicely.

                                      Yes they are exceptions to that rule, but I would say those are rare beasts I would guess. From what I have read with Joel asking wasn't always getting even if you were willing to pay for it, he just wouldn't do it. I said the same thing in a conversation with Rich Lasner about the Yamaha Pacifica 1421 and 1412 I model guitars I owned..............I wish they would have had those guitars available in a hard tail option and Rich pushed Yamaha to do that, but they wouldn't budge.

Wasn't Hamer essentially a custom shop even though they did have their production models? You could have ordered a hard tail version of a Cali.

But the vast majority of players that would gravitate to this style of shredder wanted Floyds. And yes, there are exceptions to that statement as well.

I don't play Cali's anymore. I don't play Cali's anymore. I don't play Cali's anymore. I don't play Cali's anymore. I don't play Cali's anymore. I don't play Cali's anymore.

                                     From my understand it WAS both but trying to find and buy those rare and exceptional instruments these days[ [With the REAL Hamer company long gone] is a tough deal. I would think those guitars shown with the "Hard Tail" option they would be priced well above what a Floyd issued one would be being that they were a Custom-Made Guitar.

Beautiful guitar but I hear that maple is not big in Canada

Solid maple bodies are not my cup of tea.  Way too..........something.
