Hamer Standard Flametop (Korean) Price Paid / Price New: $325/$480 Year Manufactured: Bought in 2005 so probably an '04 or '05 Specs: Explorer style body with a 24.75 scale length tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece 2 Hamer Humbuckers ("Duncan Designed") Alder body Maple set neck rosewood fretboard Crown inlays 3 way toggle switch Sound: Well before I swapped the pickups I would give the sound a 3/5 because it was very lacking in the sustain department. A few months ago I swapped the pickups with a dimarzio Super Distortion (bridge) and Dimarzio Air Norton (Neck) and now this thing is a beast. I play through a Crate fxt120 Combo amp and the sustain and clarity is just great. 5/5 Instrument Quality: I got lucky with this guitar seeing as how I was pretty clueless when I bought it (:drool: explorer shape). The set neck construction is something not really seen on guitars in this price range. I have picked this guitar up after leaving it in the case for a week and its still perfectly in tune. one thing I noticed though is that when I pluck the open G string it gives off a really twangy noise thats pretty disgusting (could probably be fixed with the change of the nut). 4/5 Playbility: I dont really know what to say here, its pretty much a matter of comfort and opinion on this one. I prefer the Hamer Standard to the Gibson Explorer because it's more comfortable. N/A Overall Value: This guitar is definitley worth the price I paid for it and if I lost it I would definitley get a new one. The quality seen in this guitar is amazing for the price range, obviously youre not going to get the highest end of quality but its amazing for under $500. 5/5 Hamer777 fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Nov 14, 2006 |
