The sad thing is that the cheap Chinese Alibaba and Rareelectricguitars.com are a lot closer to the actual Hamer stuff than the "resurrected" Hamer brand they showed at NAMM.

Do you know if the neck joint is made using popsicle sticks to reinforce it? Hamer's initially design (3 piece neck) does not offer the same level of strength and does increase manufacturing costs significantly. 😆 Link to post Share on other sites
geowolves 552 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 All I know is comparing my two juniors, a Korina and the XT, I really love my XT Junior. While it's not Korina just mahogany but still sounds great. Grab a used import instead of what has been reissued and upgrade your electronics if so desired! Save your cash for something else.

They use resin glue mixed with aged Panda Bear saliva which forms a super glue-like bond. Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Scepter 3,088 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The quiet war has begun with silent weapons And the new slavery is to keep the people Poor and stupid; "Novus Ordo Seclorum" How can there be any logic in biological war? We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order's Beating down the door Oh, something needs to be done There was a king (an evil king), who dreamt the wickedest of dreams An ancient mystery no prophet could interpret Of seven years of famine; the wolf is at my door As predicted years ago: that that was, that is, that is no more The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past Of how the world leaders will hail the new Pharaoh The eighth false king to the throne Washington is next! Disengage their minds, sabotage their health Promote sex, and war, and violence in the kindergartens Blame the parents and teachers; it's their fault; "Annuit Coeptis" Attack the church dynamic, attack the family Keep the public undisciplined till nothing left is sacred, and The "have-nots" get hooked and have to go to the "haves" just to cop a fix I am the king (an evil king), who dreams the wickedest of dreams An ancient mystery, nobody could interpret Of seven empires falling; the wolf is at my door As predicted years ago: that that was, that is, that is no more The word predicts my future and tells the truth about my past Of how the world's leaders are waiting to usher in The eighth world power of modern Rome Washington is next! There was a king (an evil king), who dreamt the wickedest of dreams An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret Of seven empires falling; the wolf is at my door As predicted years ago: that that was, that is, that is no more I am a king, and I dream the wildest dreams And nobody could interpret Seven empires falling; the wolf is at my door Oh, that that was, that is, that is no more There's something at my door, some ancient mystery The future tells the truth about the past And I'm the eighth false king to the throne I've got you in my cross hairs; now, ain't that a bitch?

They need to apply "extreme vetting" of attendees and vendors. "Either you got one helluva hernia or yer really happy to be protected by the TSA. Now turn your head to the left & cough." Senator, now that is extreme vetting, and its what we're gonna use at GITMO if America is offended by water boarding. Looks like that TSA officer runs the risk of developing one raging case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. CTS epidemic at TSA, CNN reports that the CDC is investigating. caddie Link to post Share on other sites
