How many graduations of Hamer neck carve are there?

[JGale]

I have four Hamers here. All fit my hand comfortably, but two seem fuller than the other. Visually the difference is a slight. Latest date on these four is 1999. I do have an 80's flattop that has a narrow and skinny neck, but it seems like a different class of carve from the others.

Well, the ones made in the later 2000's had two different neck carves.

The Sunburst guitars from '77-'79 had at least two different neck carves.

I'll guess and say that the Cali era had thinner necks mixed in with the other types available.

I'd guess that from 1977-1997 there were several different neck carves, maybe 4.

I've got 4 90's models that vary around .86@ 1st fret and .93@ 12th fret.

Also 4 2000 year models that vary from .88@ 1st fret and .104@ 12th fret.

So, I guess they did vary from year, make and model, and from what I understand, you had your choice of neck carve when ordering (Medium or Vintage) when Hamer moved to Connecticut.

Centaura / TLE on the thinner side

Daytona / T-51 - less so.  But  I get along with them.  

90s studios / duotones - feels like I had a few different carves on those.  None were as thin as the Centaura.  The fattest and most baseball bat like was on a DT ‘90. 

Newport - I had one with a thinner neck I couldn’t bond with.  I have one with a soft v that is full.   Love that one. 

Talladega - full and pronounced v.  Loved that one. 

Their neck carves were all over the place.

Add in the Triple Threat that had its own carve.
