I just bought a 94 hamer special. Comparing it to my SG Classic, the quality (and playability) is superior. It's solid as a rock. The main difference is that it sounds a bit too "nice". The SG is much rougher and lower in output. It also has a sort of wobbliness to the sound - all elements that, to me, give it charachter. Perhaps it's the imprecision. Is it possible that the Hamer is just too well built?
Hamer quality/playability is as good as it gets. They take a back seat to no one. The fingerboards are on the flat side, so if a person is used to a rounder fingerboard radius, it might be an adjustment.--dg
I agree. I have a XT Korina standard, and even though it is an import model, it is a great, high quality guitar with real SDs. I have played Gibson Explorers in the store and definately could not tell the $600 worth of difference.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. My Special has always been this dark, but the lighting doesnt' give you a clear picture.
I didn't really think the SD 90s were all that hot, but this is the only P-90s axe I've spent any real time with, so I might just be used to it. Hamer says these are the mildest P-90s CD makes. SD's hotter pickups must be REALLY hot. I think some of the perceived hotness is the midrange they have and the effect that has on ODs. But I have no idea for sure.--DG
Beautiful playing m8, and great guitar and tone too. I've got a Hamer Studio myself, sings like a bird. Thx's for putting the vids up, really enjoyed em!
Did you just get out of the pool? What's with the swim trunks?

Great tone, great playing, the rear pickup of course sounds the best. Tell me, how do you feel about Hamer build quality/playability?

EQ? None-- just set the Tone on the Z amp to about 1:00. The FD2 is set at about 11:00 for tone, and about noon for OD.--DG

What kind of EQ settings you use? Totally amazing sounds, sweet p90 pickups!
