These early Hamer<\/strong><\/em><\/a>-models (founded in 1973) are now American boutique guitars of the late 70s and early 80s – long before boutique guitars became a big thing.
\nThe Prototype<\/strong> was one of the most innovative models of its time: Honduras mahogany body, glued-in mahogany neck and the then completely unusual combination of DiMarzio humbucker and single coil in a single pickup ring. This made the Hamer Prototype one of the first production guitars ever to consistently combine humbucker and single-coil sounds.
\nThis example was additionally equipped with a Floyd rose (with milling) and thus combines classic vintage tone with significantly more modern performance and tuning stability.<\/p>\n

In terms of sound, the guitar delivers exactly what you would expect from an early US Hamer: plenty of steam, sustain, aggressive mids, direct response and lots of character.<\/p>\n
