This makes for an extremely rigid and stable neck. Rigidity and stability make for better tone and a more solid feel while playing the Instrument. Fingerboards All Hamer fingerboards are shaped and radiused after they are installed on the neck. Each fret is painstakingly installed one at a time. All inlays are hand cut using only real Mother of Pearl and hand inlaid by experienced craftsman who take real pride in the final product.
Most companies install all the frets in one shot by using a gang press.
Most companies use fake Abalone or plastic instead of real Mother of Pearl. All 10 Hamer employees are all veterans of the original Chicago plant. This Guitar had such a good vibe in my hand I could almost hear what it would sound like in my minds eye. Please contact me if you are interested The Limited Edition Ultimate Artist Model. Notice the gorgeous top and the Abalone purfling around the body.
