Value For Money :
Excellent
The Hamer Special is made in the USA. It has a fixed bridge 22 frets O'Matic tune, with two P90 (large single coil). A three position switch selects each of the microphones or all of the two. Three knobs allow the volume and tone controls. Its handle is right, D.
Not need more, while the choice of microphone is perfect.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, and cutting as the shape of the handle allows easy access to acute. It does not weigh too heavy. Its ergonomics are very good.
She does not move very little over time, and mechanical are good.
As for the sound, the P90 make it as versatile as temperamental. The settings are simple and can go from clean warm and serious blues / rock, slamming his very funky. In full, we will just as easily to heavy rock 70, to pop. In any case, it is very mixed and has a lot of attack. It can get loud enough.
SOUNDS
The Hamer is full of relief, but keeps his balance. It responds very quickly to the nuances of the game, allowing crystal clear arpeggios fingers, clear agreements or drive warm, rhythmic as heavy and saturated. In note-a-note, it's quite a cut, this strong and distinct.
I mostly used a Roland Jazz Chorus, a Marshall JCM 800 and a Crate Vintage Club 50. It is this last that I prefer it because this amp is pretty hot, which combines well with bright side of Hamer. I particularly enjoy playing with both pickups selector, because the sound is on the edge of nervousness while keeping enough heat.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for almost 6 years and I never tire of it.
It does not move, it is comfortable, and it follows, whether to play rock, blues, jazz, funky, lens or the big sound. Above all, it's a character, which makes it very strong but does not prevent him from being balanced.
Excellent value for money. I bought 5900 Francs, while I was gone for a Les Paul worth more. No regrets, if it again, I would do the same choice.
