Hamer Special Quilted Maple Top Amber 1994

Are you looking for a guitar that combines vintage vibes with perfect craftsmanship? Then this US-made Hamer Special in amber finish is just the thing for you. While other brands struggled with quality control issues in the 90s, Hamer built guitars in a quality-level that today is considered custom shop.

This Hamer Special carries the genes of the first true custom shop manufacturer. The finished warm amber perfectly highlights the beautiful quilted maple top and gives the instrument a timeless elegance. The double cutaway design offers you significantly more comfortable access to the upper frets than single cut models.

Weighing in at just 3.5 kg, this Hamer is a real lightweight among solid mahogany instruments—perfect for long gigs and intense studio sessions without straining your back.

The sound is exactly what you’d expect: equipped with two great-sounding Seymour Duncan humbuckers, it offers a dynamic, lively tone with plenty of punch.

The mahogany neck with comfortably rounded profile and rosewood fingerboard are comfortable to play. Thanks to professional setup and low action, this guitar practically plays itself.

The highlights at a glance:

  • Made in the USA: Manufactured during an era when Hamer was renowned for precision craftsmanship and premium tonewoods.
  • Lightweight: Only 3.5 kg!
  • Looks: Stunning amber finish on a high-quality maple top.
  • Hardware: Sturdy Schaller tuners and a compensated bridge for perfect intonation.
  • Genuine: A “youngtimer” with mojo – Only minimal visual signs of wear tell a story without compromising performance.

The guitar comes with the original Hamer USA hard case.

Conclusion: US Hamers are becoming increasingly rare and are highly sought after by connoisseurs. If you are looking for an instrument that may outperform even the big names in the industry, this Hamer Special is the one for you.
