draelyc Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Looking at this new year, I may finally be able to start squirreling away a little extra cash each month to build back up the gear fund that went defunct after my children were born. I love my Mirage Koa and my Studio. If I were going to add another Hamer to the stable, what should I go for? 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draelyc Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 So... the consensus of this august board is … all the Hamers. I should get all the Hamers. Welp, that was my first instinct, too, so there ya go! But for the sake of baby steps, I was thinking a Standard would at least be different enough from the ones I have to "justify" adding it. Then again, an Artist is on my bucket list. But I've been thinking of that as a "some day" kind of purchase, I guess because the list price was so high when they were new...

Steve Haynie Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 You can load up on guitars with the same pickup arrangement too easily. Look at getting a little variety in electronics. Also think about the solid, chambered, semi-hollow varieties. We discuss scale length often around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Standard is the brand...uh...standard, so typically what I'd recommend, but all suggestions are good. Try a Korina Vector. Because everybody needs a Vee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have seen a number of Korina Standards around the innarwebz… Don't know much about Korina as a tone wood, though. 🤷♂️ 6 minutes ago, gtrdaddy said: Honestly, if you want to add something that offers up something unique and exceptional in tone from Hamer, get a spruce top Newport or Newport Pro hollowbody. As Hamers go, I think the Newport is the crown jewel. I don't think I realized there was a spruce top version of the Newport. Brb, gonna be Googling for a minute.

That explain it ~ I never heard of a "spruce top Newport" because that's just what they were. Makes sense. 👍 So I just watched all three of this guy's demos of the Newport, and … man, this may be the one to work towards! 💡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
