I just bought a Hamer Slammer Series Californian. I really like it. I currently own a Hamer USA Studio Gattso '59, and have had a couple of other USA's and Koreans.
My question is about swapping the pickups. I see USA version came with Seymour Parallel access pickups. I can get pick up a set of these for about $160
I only paid $175 for the guitar. Do you think it's worth it to do this. I tried something similar with a Korean Daytona once and wasn't crazy about the results, it didn't improve the sound as much as I though it would. But I have read the wood on these first generation slammer Californians was the same as the USA model so might make more of a difference.
What do you think?
I was going to attach pics but need to shrink them down
