UTILIZATION

Hamer who knows?
These are two musicians from the scene chicagogane that create the brand in 70 years.
Many stars have flocked today marks the U.S. model offers very versatile at a price not versatile (between 2500 and 4000 euros) and the variations made in China at prices more sober. Grand Ole Opry model is sold around 800 dollards United States, with Pouche (Not bad for a guitar made in China!).
The brand is rather in the uniqueness, Hamer guitars are very unique.

Grand Ole Opry and why?
It's actually a tribute to the first radio program in Nashville issued in 1925 or 1923, program that opens a wide audience to bluegrass music, country, jazz and blues.A the time, U.S. radio stations broadcast mainly classical music . The Grand Ole Opry will, for decades, an important place of delivery for U.S. artists from the jazz and country.

In 2005, to commemorate this part of the History of U.S. radio, this model comes Hamer Grand Ole Opry.

The neck is super nice, it feels like a Gibson ES. Sound rather round, smooth hair, not at all aggressive anyway. The pickups have a great dynamic. A very intimate guitar, playing on records of roundness and warmth. Micro grave, the sound is jazz, you can play on the tone knob: it sounds really. Intermediate position, the sound is great for picking play. Bridge pickup, perfect for rock riffs or ryhmiques reagge.

Limited access to acute because the fund is large enough, despite the pan slightly off.

SOUNDS

It is intended primarily to jazz, but also blues, soul, rytm 'n' blues ...

OVERALL OPINION

I really love the comfort it provides. Standing or sitting, you feel good. The large body sticks to the body, it vibrates, feeling less experienced with a solid body electric.

A superb instrument, which relies primarily on originality. Hamer mark appears only on the PAF, the commemorative aspect is privileged, we do not see that on the head "Grand Ole Opry." The two stars at the 12 ° case are very beautiful. Aesthetically, it is terrible, it is still nice acoustic and plugged it restores a very very hot sound.
The overall look is vintage.

I played it recently on a Gibson ES 175: it really brings this type of guitar, and more originality.

Successful.
