FT/FS: Hamer Monaco Elite for a Tele


Recommended Posts

Posted

*** SOLD ****

Here's a Hamer Monaco Elite with a chambered body and a 59 Burst finish. It was made custom for Wolfe Guitar, built on 11/12/07. I'd rate it a 9.5/10; if you look closely in the right light you can find some very minor pick marks, but it's otherwise in excellent condition. It's stock except for the cap being upgraded to a Sprague Orange Drop (and I'm good with wiring). It's been well-cared for in my smoke-free home. I love this guitar, but I recently got a new R8 - and though they both have their pros & cons, they overlap enough that I'd like to try something new.

The asking price is $old plus PayPal fees and shipping. I'm also open to trades. I'm mainly looking for a Tele or Jazzmaster since I've never had the pleasure of owning either, though I'm open to other offers too.

For the basic specs on the guitar, Hamer's site is pretty good:

Some of the details people have asked about:

- The neck is described as "Vintage Round" with a thickness of .90". It's fatter that a Gibson 60's slim taper, thinner than an R8, and similar to an LP Standards 50's rounded neck.

- Regarding the chambering, Hamer chambers guitars to improve the sound and resonance unlike some builders who just drill holes to relieve weight. It's a very resonant guitar!

- The weight appears to be 8 lbs on the nose, using a fairly accurate digital fishing scale to weigh it.

gorgeous man, just don't have the dough right now, but if a vintage white semi hollow US G&L classic custom would interest you, just let me know.
