topekatj Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 No affiliation. Dunno if I ever saw a black DT. Case is beat but the axe looks pretty nice for the price. Lemme know how you like it! https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/msg/d/las-vegas-1990s-usa-hamer-duotone/7262690005.html

marc9889 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 The Duo on Craigslist looks great in the photos. The owner won’t ship it. : (
marc9889 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 It’s not going to last long at that price. I offered him asking price, eBay listing fee cost, and shipping, and he passed on it.

ETA: Hey Duotone experts — Are the three holers preferred over the f-holers for some reason?

Duotone Custom (f-hole) spec is still a spruce top but it's thicker and carved. Of course, we're talking about Hamer so there is a smattering of maple topped Customs out there. If there's a real preference for 3-holers the prices don't reflect it, which could be the reason some get excited over them.
veatch Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I preferred the spruce topped ones, but my ears are full of peanut butter. Both are good.

Just did a quick google deep dive and came up with way more carved spruce tops on the Duotone customs and only a handful of maple tops. damn this getting old thing and the whole memory whatnot...
Camstone Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 The pickup on the three hole Duotone is the same piezo bridge that Ovation has put on their acoustics for years. The Duotone Custom has a Kynar (sp?) pickup under the saddle which is more sensitive and has a wider frequency response. I have owned three Three Holers and two Customs. There are both great, but the acoustic output on the custom is superior IMHO.

The three holes were unique and, in the right conditions, would feed back at different pitches depending on which hole you covered.
