Felling a little boring those days I just bought me a Hamer Explorer model:
http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=detail&mid=1987
I found it in a blow out list from a musicstore for 398 euros which is more than fair equipped with genuine SD SH1 and SH4 pickups.The body came with a little chip on the backside but nothing serious and is made from 7 pieces... :lol: But that thing feels alive and is very resonant.Hardware is completely crap ! I was not able to get this guitar in tune but that was clear before.Tuners are crap,bridge is crap with crappy saddles and the nut is crap as well...So I took 100 euros more for a faber tailpiece and gotoh bridge,gotoh tuners,new pots,new nut and some braided wire and will change that stuff in the next days.What makes me wonder is the craftmanship.I've seen more expensive guitars really terrible build but the work done on the hamer looks very good and professionel.I don't understand why the manufacturers do not invest 100 euros more for some quality parts and it would be a really nice explorer.Anyway I was looking for something to pimp and will have fun in the next days.
