Gabe Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Still my one and only Hamer. -- Fresh as the day she was born! I'd like to see a complete shot of that one. Please. Gabe
atquinn Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Here are a couple Dasein posted when he first joined the forum: Coolest custom finish ever? Yup.
Dasein Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Brooks... those are two classy looking guitars. How do they play/sound? What do you play (music wise) on them?
atquinn Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Finally took a half-decent pic today: -Austin
Sentinel Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 My six-strings! Hm... it looks like I need a P90 guitar - right?
e-isle rock Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Oops, forgot one. And sorry for the crappy family pic.

Guest pirateflynn Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Taken this afternoon. Both of those guitars interest the hell out of me. How would you compare the Monaco to the Newports you have owned?
kizanski Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I had been after a spruce-topped Monaco for a while. You'd think that locating the garden variety version of the model would be so easy, but it seems that when you're looking for simple, all you find are maple tops, custom colors, etc.After owning two Newports with spruce tops (one with a Bigsby), and a Monaco III with a maple top, I knew that what I really wanted was to have the spruce top and the Bigsby, but with the longer scale. So, there was no need to look any further than the "standard" Monaco.I've found that I keep gravitating towards the long scale guitars. I think that's why I've always felt so comfortable with a Strat. The black Newport with the 'buckers and the Bigsby that I had recently was almost there. All that was missing was that scale. Even the maple top wasn't the difference-maker there.This Monaco fits the bill to the letter. Typical Hamer quality, with all of the specs I was looking for. And the spruce is so gorgeous, you don't long for flamed maple.
