This thread lacks PRON!

Kinda criminal this thread hasn't been updated in a year.

Had a gig last night and took both of these guitars. Beautiful fall morning here in paradise. I am a believer that it's official, Superpros rule......

Yes, Yes they do! The Superpro is like playing a Grand Piano on a strap. Thick Notes, Gaint Chords with clear note separation you can easily play blues, rock, jazz, country.

There is something different, and special, about them. I am sure I'd have held on to one had I not found another longer scale guitar that touches the same bases and works just a little bit better for me.

I think there is room in the house for a Newport AND a Superpro, but at the time I had my Newport and Superpro I had to make a choice and the newport was more for me. Now the original Monaco is killer too!

I'm late to the thread but I like anything based off of the Monaco.  The last SuperPro that Willcutt had was a beauty.  I often wonder who ended up with it.

I think this is the last one I saw at Willcutt's.  I really liked this one.

I don't appreciate the SuperPro, at all.  It turned me into a Hamer Junkie.

My SuperPro was the second Hamer that I bought (after a Talladega).  Flawlessly constructed, beautiful looking and versatile, the SuperPro solidified in my mind that Hamer guitars are something special.  That SuperPro launched me on an epic Hamer guitar buying spree.  Damn the SuperPro.

Not sure if I ever posted the CO SuperPro. It did not grab me 100% on day one, but it has really grown on me. No fancy wood grain to see, but the korina body and neck, longer scale and ebony board (plus upgraded pickups and a couple other custom extras) make it stand up well against some real serious competition. Hard to choose between it and a certain higher end semi-hollow from Germany. Pictured with a couple friends......Between the three, I can cover a whole lot of ground.

ETA.....This particular Goldtop has inspired me so much that I submitted my own specs to both Shishkov and Hartung in hopes of developing a custom order that has Django written all over it. And, just maybe, takes my guitar lust to another level. Waiting.......

Pfft.  Show off.

I have a new found love of the Superpro. Recently added my first and it has a lot more tonal range than I expected. Not hard to look at either. Supernova! Cheers!

I always thought the top on my Monaco Super Pro has a lot of character, I need to get a good photo.

Having said that, I LOVE the top on your Super Pro, just stunning!

This is my Superpro - currently being held/owned by another member here.  I'm just waiting...
