OEM

[crunchee]

Can anybody please give me the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for those parts that seem to get changed on Hamer USA models--namely, 'top hat' knobs for Studio/Artist models, HB pickup surrounds, also the TOM bridge and tailpiece parts? If you can think of anything else that seems to get modded or replaced on Hamers, please let me know this with the OEM, too. Thanks in advance!

Switchcraft is the OEM supplier for switches.

Wow, thanks for the input, guys! I'm still curious about the old style Nashville-style TOM and tailpiece (not TonePros) that Hamer used, as far as who the manufacturer is and how to get 'em. Which also reminds me, who is it that makes the old style input jack 'nut', the circular unrecessed one, and how to get them? I think that Peavey used to use them a LONG time ago too in their early guitars, like the T-60.

i think Hamer used to use Schaller ToM bridges? I'm sure someone else here will know.

The jacks are definitely Switchcraft. (0151-000)

My Studio has this jack. I hate it. Could it be switched over to a Les Paul type?
