Well Fender has let Jol go. No word if it is temporary or permanent. and I have no other details

What this makes for the future of Hamer who knows.

 
Wow. I was wondering why the link from Hamer Guitars to Jol's blog was severed.

wow.

 
WTF! What kinda idiots are these people.

They should just sell him the brand back.

edit; I can hear the conversation they had, Jol You can not do this to my company, Fender rep Your company! We own Hamer. Here is a cardboard box, you have 20 minutes to clear your office, then you will be escorted out of the building. Exit, thank you - and goodbye. F*ckers!

Is that it?

Looking back, it seemed to be a forecast that Jol did not attend NAMM.

 
Wow! This is not good. Won't be the same without him. I wonder if he'll still be involved in the guitar industry in some way. Maybe he'll concentrate on cars.

Is this the end of Hamer?

 
I am just speculating here. It’s been said in the past the Jol was an employee. He was the creative force of the company. No question. He has a NO compromise outlook on building guitars. MAYBE Fender is wanting to building things there were not in the direction of Jol’s vision of Hamer, or maybe there just cutting cost???? WE might see things from Hamer that have not been built in a long time or we may just see nothing.

 
That sucks!

It's obvious that Jol had a big picture view of the direction Hamer should be going in. I doubt he has much "give" on that vision so perhaps it was only a matter of time; basically as long as it took to bump up against a higher up at FMC who had a very different vision and wasn't willing to yieid.

We might see things from Hamer that have not been built in a long time or we may just see nothing.
From an 80's loving perspective I can hope for that but still doubt it given what fender and Jackson already have to offer.

Is there anything solid to suggest that perhaps after more than 30 years of Hamer Jol simply hasn't chosen to go live on beach somewhere and drink Tequila with Buffet?

 
WTF!!! /emoticons/default_ph34r.png

Well, I guess now the party is really over. /emoticons/default_smile.png

Probably the Hamer brand will survive the founder, but it will never be the same again. /emoticons/default_smile.png
