History:
Purchase: I don't recall the $$ but I got it at
Parkway in Clifton Pk NY because it
looked weird, sounded great, and didn't weigh a whole lot. It probably didn't
cost a lot either.
What I Like About This Unit: See above. Also, tone is mellow but not
dead or muddy, with a nice humming middle
and strong lows. Lows are not hugfe, but
are clear and have "shape".
Body shape is very compact, but not stock.
Someone has pared down this ax to a new
and unique shape.
Have set a real low action, plays really
fast and friends love to play it as well.
What I Do NOT Like About The Hamer USA-Built Mahogany: It has a set neck [prefer bolt-on] and
despite the chop-shop body it is still
a bit too long for some cases and bags.
USA-Built Mahogany Quality: All mahogany with set neck. EMG PJs
with reversed split coil. 4-in-line
peghead, flat with string tree, and
sealed Schaller tuners. Adjustable
width Schaller roller bridge
Summary: Even though the customized body caught
my attention, I suspect that most any
USA-built all-mahogany set-neck 4 string
Hamer with EMG PJs will sound and feel
like this one, and I recommend you check
out any example that you encounter.

WELL worth it. A stellar beginner guitar for sure, and a wise buy for anyone who needs a crunchy guitar in a pinch, or a back up axe. I would have no

As a working man's instrument, it can't be beat. Tone, looks, playability, durability, versatility--this bass has it all. It's a keeper.

Its a good bass for newbies. I think it might be a little over priced at $300.

Great guitar, love it, plays fine, get a good cord tho, or it might not play and you will eventually have to spend more money to buy it.
I give it
