History Of Hamer Guitars

Hamer Guitars began their way to craftsmanship in the 70′s when a group of music inspired Chicago musicians began to make their modern guitars in a basement located in Chicago. From then on, the company has ensured that each model made will be of the highest quality materials and made with enough patience and attention so everything will be perfect. This passion can be evidently seen on every aspect of their finished guitars.

The frets are individually made in a specific radius and precision that no longer need fret filling. A slow drying procedure is used so their materials made of maple, rosewood and mahogany will reduce the tendency to twist the wood fibers after that coloring and matching of wood of the same grains are completed. This is the time consuming method on how the neck is built.

The control cavities that are hand wired are totally secured from noise using nickel based paint that is of highest quality. To achieve the perfect tone, carefully matched pickups are chosen on every position if required. This is how their extremely straight instruments are made.

Because of the almost perfect way of crafting, numerous artist are encouraged to use the Hamer Guitar to play their music like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan, Tom Dumont of No Doubt, Tim Mitchell Shakira’s lead guitarist, Francis Reyes of The Dawn, Brad Withford of Aerosmith, and a lot more.

Unique as Hamer guitars are, they do not only produce guitars for their customers but also take some pride in being a custom shop as well.
