Jib Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Are the only Hamer Long Scale's the Tally and Monaco Super Pro?Thanks
veatch Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Watsons are 25.5 as well, correct? There was a 25.5. Studio at Willcutts way back when - CO, for sure...
kizanski Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I'm going to need to see photos of this 25.5" scale Newport.
mc2 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 A bunch of TLE's. They are rare though.I would say a "handful" of TLEs. Almost all were short-scale. I've only seen around a half-dozen long-scale TLEs after specifically searching for them over ten years.I'm thinking the long-scale ones were all custom orders, since a few of them were artist guitars and a few seemed to have custom neck profiles...probably made for Fender Tele players to swing them over to Hamer.
gorch Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 A 25" Newport would be killing. Many times I wished mine were long scale.
kizanski Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Sorry, HHB. Pictures, or it didn't happen....and I wouldn't consider 25" "long scale," but that's another discussion for another day.
burningyen Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Pics so it happened:https://reverb.com/item/623787-hamer-newport-pro-be-custom-large-neck-natural-2013
kizanski Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 A beautiful machine, to be sure.Yeah, it's beautiful, but I don't believe that Hamer retooled the Newport (for a scale that they didn't even use) just because some clown in Tampa says so in his Reverb ad.Seriously, if we believed everything we read on eBay and Reverb...I'd need to see the Custom Order Certificate (or hear from another HFC-er who's played one and who knows what he's talking about).And again... 25" is not "long scale."
cynic Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 To be fair, HHB never called it long scale, he only corrected someone who mistakenly did.That said, (if it is in fact 25" scale) it's longer than 24.75, and 24.666, 24.5 and 23.5. What should we call it that will pass your muster?
it's me HHB Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Jol just told him it was 25" lol. 24. 25. Whatever it takes
anotherfreak Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 THAT is the one I was referencing, as it turns out, it is his word that says it's 25" which is close enough that it could be an error in his measuring.
