Final New Hartford Hamer Standard has arrived!


Recommended Posts

Well, I couldn't make it through work today. I went home & got there about 30 minutes before it arrived. It made it safe & sound. It is extremely light... on my bathroom scale, only 6.6 lbs! The pickups sound great as I thought they would. I re-strung it with .011s & it's ready to roll.



Thank you Dave Peers for getting the order placed, Mike Shishkov for his hard work & in process pictures, Jackass for his last day heroics in getting the guitar out in time & everyone else at Hamer. You guys are the best!



Note the "Bell" truss rod cover.

I am glad they got that one out for you!

Just out of morbid curiosity, what is the FINAL serial number from Hamer?

We should dub this the "Skin-of-the-Teeth Standard," arriving three days after the factory was shut down.

At leat they went out with a bang (this gorgeous instrument) instead of a whimper. Great work to the very end, guys. I may never part with my 2000 Newport after this.

3 56432 - I guess there could be one out there with a later number if it was finished before mine. Let's hope the remaining Hamers can be finished somehow.

And by the way, I tried for more than one, but it was too late.

Perfection, and a wonderful way to go out.

DIBS!

Bugger.....

But somehow I don't think it will ever leave David B.

As a testament to the skills at the Hamer workshop it's a fitting farewell.

Good that you managed to get a bell TRC they look so much better than the strange shaped ones the later Standards had.

Sad but glorious at the same time. A huge congrats. The last new "Hamer congrats" I will ever write I guess........
