Hamer Miller beer promotional guitar

This USA-made Miller beer promotional guitar by Hamer with a quilted maple top has quite an attractive shape - obviously derived from the Miller logo - but I wonder if there would be any way of removing the lettering?...

Hamer Suede Tele with Matching Strap and Boots!

For today's post I am again featuring a one-off Hamer guitar, this possibly being one of the bizzarest I've seen on ebay in a long time.

This Hamer T-51 Tele-style guitar has its body covered in suede leather and comes with matching strap and pair of cowboy boots (US size 12)!

This was a custom order created for Bill Kamen, president of Kamen Music, parent company of Hamer Guitars.

As I write this, the auction only has 2 hours left to go, so if you fancy this guitar and can wear a size 12 boot, then you've not much time left!

Andy Summers' one-off Hamer Phantom

Jol Danzig and Hamer built this guitar for The Police's Andy Summers back in 1983. It's major distinctive feature is that it has three inter-changable magnetic fingerboards - regular fretted, modal fretted, and fretless.

And, if you've got the required $7000, it could be yours as it's up for sale on eBay!

Hamer Short-Scale 12-String Bass

Continuing the theme of the last two posts on 12-string guitars, today I would like to draw your attention to this gorgeous Hamer 12-string bass currently up for grabs on eBay. Hamer's Jol Dantzig and Cheap Trick's Tom Petersson were responsible for bringing the 12-string bass to the world, and despite it being a somewhat unusual instrument it does have quite a dedicated following - see www.12stringbass.net for more! This particular 12-string bass is of the short-scale variety. I believe that early on there were concerns about the effects of the string pressure on a long-scale neck, although whatever those concerns were it seems the problem was solved as long-scale 12-string basses have existed for a while now.

I've always fancied having a go on one of these, but I'm not really a bassist so who knows what horrible noises I'd make with such an instrument should I even be able to manage the fingering on those tripled strings.
