Would that fit on a Hamer Studio Custom? What's the advantage of the Tonepros over the stock tunomatic that Hamer uses?

Thanks for your time.

p.s. Checked out your website, some awesome stuff on there. I was drooling over some of the older Goldtopes and the amps you worked on are amazing. Loved to get my hands on one of those Fender Champs or Marshall 18 watters.

Oops, just realized the website is from the shop. Must be a cool place, near your neck of the woods? You Americans don't know how lucky you have it, way better stores than where I live in Ottawa.

Rob, chances are your Hamer came stock with the tone pros bridge : unless perhaps it is an old model?

If it has Tonepros it will have the screw adjusters either side of both bridge parts and have Tonepros wriiten on the underside of the tailpiece.

Get your partners vanity mirror and slide it under, and if you dont have a partner then don't admit that you have a vanity mirror pretty boy :P

I'll check it out, mine is either a 96 or a 97. I'll have to pull it off when I'm changing strings, no vanity mirrors at my place. :P

I don't know the advantage of the tailpiece, haven't tried one, but I put a Tone Pros bridge on my SG Standard and it woke the guitar up. Rings like a bell so to speak, more resonance and sustain.

My Vector has a Tone-Pros bridge on it. It was stock. I think it makes a difference. I've never

had the chance to A/B a Tone-Pros vs a non locking bridge, on the same guitar. But the concept of

the Tone-Pros makes perfect sense to me.

If it's a 96 or 97 and stock, it definitely IS NOT Tonepros. Hamer only recently began using those in the past couple years.

Hmm........I think I'm going to eventually pick up one of those Tone Pros. What are you guys using, the aluminum version? I think they make one in nickel, and one in aluminum if I'm getting that right? What did the 50s Les Pauls use, nickel?

Thanks for the info guys!
