donner Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hard to be surprised, after being onboard the HFC for all those years. But: This one from Reverb hit me like lightning (sic). Never seen an iteration of a wellknown shape like that before. Is it really calling my name? Regarding the name of the shop, it well might be, what you think? https://reverb.com/item/35517126-1997-hamer-archtop-korina-one-off-usa?utm_content=feed_listings&utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Feed-Email&utm_term=Feed Email Breathtaking! No aff., just stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Man Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Love the white binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM OF HAMER Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I have not been on the HFC as long as many of you have but I have looked a lots of Hamers and I can not recall seeing one like that before. and from the listing it is a one off....................not sure if I like or not but don't hate it. Surprised I guess that Hamer would do that after hearing so many stories here on the HFC of submissions for custom builds that were turned down.

Steve Haynie Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 That guitar is calling everybody's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Yeah..,that one is freaking incredible. Love everything about it..especially the pickup complement. If the bridge splits, you have the most versatile guitar out there. A true Swiss Army Knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topekatj Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 That guitar has been on Reverb for a while (9 months) and it’s good to see that the price has come down a bit. Looking closely at the photos, the body appears to be one piece. If not, the grain is very well matched at the seam. Even more amazing is that the neck (other than the headstock wings) also appears to be one piece — follow the dark grain line that starts at the tip of the headstock as it meanders to the left — you’d think that the middle piece of a 3 piece neck would not be that wide. comments?

Ua D Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It’s hard to notice but it is a 3 piece neck . The grain is still lovely on every part of that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soli'd Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I think the 3-pc neck seams may be visible just to the left of the 4 in the serial, and to the right of the 2. But my vision is deteriorating rapidly, I could be seeing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirateflynn Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I wonder what pickups were used, particularly the single coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I wonder what the switching is since it has a 3-way toggle. Blending pickups, push/pull knobs, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol was OK about doing pretty much any custom order... except when asked to do a different headstock shape. He gave tons of options in his standard models too, but never touched that headtsock. Hamer does not exist anymore, so it's easy to see how that strategy turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
