What Hamer is this?

[HamerFan79]

Hello All,

I got this Hamer in the late 1990's or early 2000's but since it was a gift I have no idea what model it is.

Anyone have any idea's? Anything else I can upload to help solve the mystery?

Thanks everyone!

It's nice, that's what it is!

It's a Studio model. Looks to be Aztec gold finish to me.

Welcome

Very nice! I think they called the imported version of the Studio an SATF (Sunburst Arch Top Flame)

I think the Duncan-labeled pickups point to foreign origin.

Nice.  How does it play?

It's an early 2000s SATF (Import version of the Studio Archtop).

That body has a slightly different shape/carve than the USA version and the 12th fret dots are spread wider apart.  Slightly different headstock shape too, and no "USA" after the logo (and the "Duncan Designed" logo'ed pickups, of course).
