There's Only ONE 'M' In Hamer!

Someone asked me if I am getting paid for all of this advertising I seem to be doing for Hamer Guitars. To that the answer is emphatically NO! When you come upon something really good you don't mind shouting about it from the mountain tops...and so that is basically what this amounts to. If my lowly little video production happens to inspire more people to buy Hamer Guitars then it is a mutual victory for all concerned and I don't want any compensation. I stand by my Hamers, pure and simple.

I was inspired to put this slideshow together after having watched one someone else posted called something like "My Top 10 Favorite Guitars". So I've decided to respond with my TOP 7 favorite guitars, which are what I like to refer as my Hamer Family. I own over 20 guitars and my 7 Hamers are by far my faves. I grew up playing Gibsons, and I still have 3 Gibsons...2 Acoustics and an SG Standard...all of which I really enjoy playing, but they are not my favorites. :D Hamer Kicks Ass!

what really pisses me off, and i mean REALLY PISSES ME OFF. is that a lot of guitar shops wont carry hamers, or they carry a very few select models.

now take the guitars in this video, you would be hard pressed to walk into a guitar shop in my area and ask them for a standard flame top. they will most likely show you a gibson explorer.

you can't even find the slammer by hamer guitars or basses in shops anymore. and those are great beginner instruments.

@PsychoSymantic That's too bad, man. 6 of my 7 Hamers came from my local guitar store...and I bought my first one on ebay. The regional Hamer rep visits our store periodically...in fact, my Artist actually belonged to him and he had it on consignment at our shop. He personally selected the woods for it and they built it to his specs...it's just short of a Custom Shop model. All of my others are imports from the XT line.

true but your main interest is hamers as far as guitars go i believe, you could always start collecting bottle caps or post stamps..

[SilverHamer]

@BandOnTheRun87 Or I could lower my standards and start collecting Les Pauls....hehehehe. JUST KIDDING DAN!!! I know a guy who has a collection of Airline guitars...once upon a time the only place I knew you could get them was at Montgomery Ward department stores...I am not a fan of Airline, but they DID come out with some classic guitars which are worthy of collecting I suppose. My friend sure likes his collection, and that's really all that matters.  ;)

basically larry just has some Hamer OCD hahaha

[SilverHamer]

@BandOnTheRun87 That's one way of putting it, yea. I like to refer to it as GAS...Gear Acquisition Syndrome, which sort of borders on OCD but comes in short bursts only once in a while. :D It's a good thing I don't have a thing for cars, isn't it? HAHAHA.

This is quite interesting. I had no idea "Hamer" was a brand of guitar. And, of course, I love the music you compiled instantaneously! Sure wish I had just a smidge of your talents. I'm 54 now and wish that I would have learned to play a guitar, many a moon ago. Oh well -- darn it! LOL!

Thanks for another interesting video, Larry

Rock on with your bad self.Hamers rule,the only guitar i would buy without playing it first.The quality is fantastic,hey you sound great even with my bad habit of drinking tequila when I play my Hamers.Love those Jethro Tull covers.Hey lets jam!!!!

I think the XT series guitars are a great value for the money. I had a Hamer Korina Standard and let it go about a year ago. I regret that decision now. Can't find a better $500 guitar now. I still have a Sunburst that cost me a whopping $160 on Ebay but I put some new SD '59s in it and it is one of the sweetest sounding guitars I have played.
