THE HAMER GUITARS OF VERNON REID


Recommended Posts

Posted

I really liked Vernon back in the day when he was a Hamer user..................he did some really "OUT" things. How about posting some photos of the Hamers he used. I have not kept up with what he doing these days but his "RIG" here is really involved.................least way beyond what I ever used and have now.............cool though.Great player and looks like he has switched from the the Parkers to PRS. "RIG RUNDOWN" from some years back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPekZmNeuDs

I figured I'd get the low hanging fruit out there and all you guys with connections could post the lesser known ones! :)

It may be showing up soon... ;)

I seem to recall there was a tweet from Vernon about Shishkov Guitars starting up. Do we know yet if he's placed an order?

To my knowledge, not to date.

Didn't he have a Malcom X Hamer Guitar? Remember seeing it on the front of some guitar mag.

It's actually more a Centaura platform with Cali cutaways/scallops/recesses.

Yeah, I remember something as well and would certainly like to see some of the "Hamer High Performance Race Team" with a Shishikov in hand.

Best wishes,

That's already starting to roll, since Tommy Williams has played a Shishkov out, and Kev Bower is eagerly anticipating his Shishkov :)

Digging deep into the vault. Here are a couple of very, very, very rarely seen ones.

This is the only photo I've ever seen of this one. Photoshop noodling indicates it's a quilt maple body, onboard Roland and no personalized logo.

There's a third one out there that's rarely ever seen with its share of interesting stories. I'll share more on it later this week.

Good point

Yes indeed - that was the first HFC Open House event at the factory in October, 1998. Vernon was in my group and couldn't have been a nicer guy.

Funny the timing of this thread ... this just arrived at my house today, after longing and at times pleading for it for many, many years.

Back story coming soon. I'm going back to playing it for now. I'm surprised I put it down long enough to take pictures.

What's your favorite colour, baby?

That, ladies and gents, is a magnificent work of art! I cannot begin to describe the envy I have right now! DIBS!
