Siaip Ciuvas Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 yyyyyyyaaaaaaaayyyyyy! Today finally got Monaco Elite Mahogany bought on this forum... Must say was expecting quality guitar, but was again shattered by Hamer USA quality. It is as sweet as it can get, and Vintage Orange color is a killer - in fact photos on the phorum really didn't help selling - it looked like...um... just another guitar. In person its just a flashy rock machine, which catches eye and heart. i have restrung it to my fav snake oils 10-48s, did minimal setup adjustments and was amazed how comfortable is to play on this instrument. everything feels so right. And it sounds really great with loaded DiMarzios (Virtual PAFs I guess), I had no time to drive to studio to crank my JCM800, but at home on little amp it sounded very well. This thread is worthless without pics, but I need to wait for next weekend to go to my parents place and wait for clouds to cover direct sunlight. Otherwise it makes no sense - the top is gorgeus too, and I'd love to show you guys it in full flash thats it for the moment. More impressions next week when I'll visit studio p.s. if anyone is planning to sell WCR Fillmores, let me know. Zebra, double cream or chrome covered are ok. This guitar needs 'em
Mindseyes Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 That is a great guitar that i'm truely gonna miss!!Play the hell out of her bro!!
MCChris Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Please don't use the word "shattered" when talking about an overseas guitar deal lol.Cool that Mindseyes hooked you up. Enjoy!

polara Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Lithuania's getting into quality guitars, one Hamer at a time... I need an excuse to go back in May or June so I hope he or one of his friends finds something they need delivered! Off topic, but Dainius lives in a pretty wonderful city...
