Hi!!!

I have a Hamer Studio. I bought a pair of PAF style pickups (Prs 57/08). I like change pots, Jack and switch too. Somebody know where i can buy a kit prewired for this? I like kit hight quality.

Thanks and Regards!!

 
If it's a USA built studio and is working fine, you're just wasting your money. The jack and switch are Switchcraft and the pots are custom, I believe made by CTS.

 
Thanks for answers

Hi. I dont know if are originals in my guitar (is Made in Usa). Pots are covered with tin and i only can read Hamer word in one this. Switch dont run ok, when change position with a little touch, position 3 jump at 1 directly.Probably i only need a New switch, but i dont know welding and clean tin, for this i like buy a new prewired electronic.

Regards and thanks!!

 
If soldering you need the proper tool as follows:

I present the Murkat-approved station from Circuit Specialists.

He recommended this a few years ago and it is still one of my favorite guitar- related purchases. They do have more expensive digitally-controlled versions and what not, but this thing is great! Heats up in seconds and is completely rebuildable. Get a couple of different sized chisel tips and you're in business in a big way.

They had a special going when I bought mine - I got a fantastic multimeter for free! Great folks to deal with.

Very nice! But you can get started, and go a long way, with much simpler. I've had good results with a plain 40W iron.

 
DO NOT waste your money on an RS kit. Agreed on the 'snake oil' comment above.

The Hamer pots are among the best you can get. Your switch is very likely fine too. Open the cavity, unscrew the switch and press the contact tabs together a bit (slightly bending them inward if that makes sense). 3 way switch contacts can spread out over time through use. 4/5 times in my experience, the switch doesn't need to be replaced. Either that or the switch tip is hanging up on the knurled collar. Make sure the collar is tightened down correctly-that'll pop a switch too.

That model is discontinued; however, for the same price, you can get this model. Same watts, same price, different model number, different face plate.

I have to pull the electronics for my Newport soon, to return the 3-way switch to stock. One of my biggest fears is that one of the Previous owners had the Hamer electronics ripped out and replaced with cheap crap. I don't get why anyone would even want to replace hamer electronics.
