Gibson v Hamer - Explorer & Standard Side by Side


Recommended Posts

Love Leon’s videos. He’s got a ton of great content. Glad to see him give the standard it’s praise. I know he’s got an artist that he’ll play on his channel once in a while. So he’s no stranger to Hamer USA and their quality.

Leon is cool.  He's also got I think a Studio and a I know he has a Chaparral that Ormsby did a custom paint job on before he got it.   I also dig that he doesn't turn his nose up at a piece of gear until he tries it.  He's got all the tubes and plenty of modelers as well, which is awesome.  Check the video where he shows a double neck his dad made.  Pretty nice.

Yeah, Leon does some good videos.  That home made double neck is awesome, thanks for the tip.

I love this kind of stuff. Both guitars sound great to me. The Gibby has this heavy/explosive quality in its tone which I simply love. The Hamer sounds more focused and articulate, which is great too. But construction-wise, the Hamer of course will smoke any other guitar out there —not that that Explorer looks bad or anything, but you know what I mean.

I think the tone of the Standard Korina kills that Gibby explorer. 

I have the opposite of dog ears, but I agree.  At least until the metal stuff, then I do think the Gibson sounded better.  But that's not my style . . .

The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate both guitars. I think the explorer sounds tighter and more focused, better for the metal tones (at least thru Leon’s setup in this video). To my ears, the standard does everything else better.
