JimiH 602 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I know from experience when someone says Hamer is coming back, it means Hamer is not coming back. It's a nice spectator sport though 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

And checkerboard straps... ...and truss rod covers... ...and Sustain Block vibrato arms... ...and Sustain Block bridges... ...and certain pickup bezels... ...and certain cavity covers... ...and certain pickguards. Sounds like an AllParts for the Hamer brand. Hmmm....perhaps the venture could be called "OldPharts". Link to post Share on other sites
zenmindbeginner 1,595 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Greg is no bullshitter... if he says something might be happening, I am inclined to believe that something could possibly be happening. Link to post Share on other sites

gatorbyte007 176 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 LOL!!!! I Have no ideal what Greg is doing. But I know there is a few irons in the fire... The Brand could of been sold a few times over. I've heard some great ideals. The brand will not make a corporation Rich. But it will make a few guitar makers Wealthy. I predict some Hamer surprises in 2017. Link to post Share on other sites

BCR Greg 724 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 For the record.....I was approached by someone with the news that the Hamer brand is coming back at NAMM. They sent me a list of import guitars with pricing.....and I was not impressed. The parent company is discussing the feasibility of restarting the Hamer USA brand, and the man in charge is who I am meeting with. I did NOT say that I will be a dealer for the new brand....or anything else that would "sell my brand". The assumptions made say more than I did. Have a nice day. Link to post Share on other sites

tmsfo 154 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I need at least one sustain block bridge, a motherbucker pickup ring, and I'd buy some straps. Agreed with the concept that you'd be looking either at sub $1k imports or $3k US models. And which would you (they) make? It seems like PRS is having trouble enough, why would Fender wade back into that market? Link to post Share on other sites

Jakeboy 6,677 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You mofos are too funny! Real butter on mine please! i have a Newport arriving Friday and remain in absolute guitar love with my Ultimate....and my Artist has the greatest neck in the history of guitardom. If the REAL Hamer peeps aren't involved, I have no interest. It'll just be like people buying the Guild name and building guitars that look like Guilds but really aren't. Pass the Shishkov salt, please. Link to post Share on other sites

So, you're saying my New Hartford Guild is not a "real" Guild? That's upsetting! You must be referring to the Tacoma, Corona or Oxnard Guilds, right? Right? Huhuhuhuhuhuh...! "nard"...

Texsunburst59 843 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I know I'm not one of the REAL regulars here, but I'm actually hoping it happens. I can see it now. The guitar will be above average quality, but won't scratch the itch that everyone was hoping for. There will be a flood of them in the use market a few months after their debut. I'll end up finding a mint one in a pawnshop for about $200, because they won't know what it is. Bring them on!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
