Hamer

 Fat Sound Guitars is proud to be the premier dealer for Hamer guitars in North Carolina.

Since 1974, Joel Dantzig and his team at Hamer have produced some of the finest and most ground-breaking designs in the electric guitar world to date. From the early days of the Prototype with its unique triple-coil pickup; to the 12-string bass guitar made famous by Tom Peterson; to the most recent landmark, the Talladega, Hamer has established a reputation for
thinking outside the box and creating instruments that are unique and timeless. There is a distinctness in the tone of these guitars that is in a class by itself, and the attention to detail in the craftsmanship is meticulous......just take a look inside the control cavity. Of course, what else would you expect from the original boutique guitar company!

We try to keep a good stock of our favorite pieces, but we are happy to spec any guitar that you would like. Hamer doesn't have a Custom Shop - it *is* a custom shop, so if you don't see "your" Hamer in our stock, contact us today
for a quote.

Fat Sound's shop manager Mike Ayers has become very proficient at helping our clients spec' these guitars and has an excellent working relationship with the folks at Hamer. Feel free to contact him to start the process of pricing and potentially ordering your dream guitar from the fine crafstmen at Hamer Guitars.

Birth Date: January 25th 2009

A beautiful Custom order piece. We are increasingly shifting away from standard Hamer pieces and doing Custom One-Off style guitars for our clients. This resuts in one-of-a-kind, playable works of art that can be built to the exact specifications of the client with a tremendous range of options. We sense real excitement by the folks who build these guitars and feel that when they are given the opportunity to build a custom piece they understand and appreciate that they are building someone's dream guitar. We feel this means a large dose of love goes in to each one.

Fat Sound's shop manager Mike Ayers has become very proficient at helping our clients spec' these guitars and has an excellent working relationship with the folks at Hamer. Feel free to contact him to start the process of pricing and potentially ordering your dream guitar from the fine crafstmen at Hamer Guitars.

I tasked Fat Sound Guitars' shop manager Mike Ayers with coming up with a custom Hamer.

His dream guitar was essentially an American-made Gretsch style instrument with Hamer quality.

At the risk of enlarging Mike's head, he clearly hit it out of the park with the spec's on this one; of course I guess Hamer deserves *some* of the credit:

Specifications

  • High-Gloss Black finish Newport Semi-Hollow with dual F-Holes
  • Victory Inlays
  • Center Block for feedback control
  • Carved Spruce top over Mahogany back and sides
  • TV Jones Powertron Neck and bridge pickup.
  • Bigsby tailpiece/tremolo
  • Includes Hamer Deluxe Hardshell Case.


Awesome sounding and playing guitar!
