SUMMER NAMM 2018: Hamer has announced a pair of new guitars: a new version of its Sunburst model, as well as the LP Junior-style Monaco ‘Special K’.
The new Hamer Sunburst SFTF-CS-D is based on the company’s trademark late’-70s models, packing a flamed maple veneer over mahogany body and, of course, a period-correct Sunburst finish.
Elsewhere, there’s a set neck, ebony fingerboard, Hamer humbuckers and a fixed bridge.
The Monaco ‘Special K’ MONKJ-NT-D is based on a custom-shop Hamer model from 2005, and offers a lightweight korina body and neck, plus an ebony fretboard, two soapbar P-90 pickups and a wrap-around Wilkinson bridge.
Both models are available now for $874 apiece - head over to Hamer for more.
