Dutchman Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I can’t believe they laid that directly on that ledge!!
DBraz Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Beautiful. What a work of art. A cohesive design.
cmatthes Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I think there are 3 others on Reverb right now, between $3,900 and $5,500.
crunchee Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 It looks nice, but the body shape reminds me more of a Washburn Idol more than anything else.

Punkavenger Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Whatever you guys ... looks damn nice to me

Pieman Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 To each his own, but the script Dantzig is a hideous turn-off. BTW, there are plenty of Talladegas and T Pros (if you can find one) for half the price.

I like the specs, but......One Shishkov on the near term horizon, several Hubers and Hartungs previously locked down for WAY less than $5.5K. Knock off $2k and we could talk. I like it, BUT.....
gorch Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 What haunts me is that it has a two piece body. With Hamers usually you get one piece bodies.

My RO cost over $5000 new. I think some of youse guys take this thing personally.

The Shark Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 I like the single cut Tele-Paul guitars, but a two piece body is something I'd balk at. I like mine better and it was just north of 4K...

"Interesting" is subjective, and yes, some of us (myself included) do take it personally because we've found Jol to be an insufferable cockhead who played a major role in torpedoing the Hamer brand. However, at the end of the day, it's all about looking at something and asking yourself, "can I justify the price of this item?" With these guitars, the answer is a resounding "no" for me. They remind me of Bakers: aesthetically unappealing, borderline clumsily executed (to my layman's eye) and damn sure not worth several thousand dollars new, let alone used. One man's opinion, worth what you paid for it (considerably less than a Baker or a Dantzig).

I would say whoever was in charge of marketing sank the Hamer brand. If that was Jol then there is a problem there. I'm sure ,just like everyone his time at Hamer had good and bad points. I'm sure all of these expensive guitars have good and bad points as well. So why all the bitterness? It just makes you seem, well ... bitter.
