1993 Hamer T-51 (high end Telecaster copy comparable to Fender Custom Shop, Suhr, Haar, Anderson, DeTemple, Lentz, Grosh, etc.), first year production, in excellent condition for sale. Hamer T-51 necks are wider that a typical Fender Telecaster
neck at 1 11/16” versus 5/8” with a flatter 14 ½” radius versus the usual 7 ¼”
radius on a traditional Fender Telecaster. What this means is a slightly larger feeling
neck, especially down by the nut, which is a Micarta synthetic bone. The T-51
has a ½” radius on the edges, which makes them more comfortable to hold than
the typical sharper-edged Fender Telecaster. The jack is an oval plate and the
bridge is a Wilkinson 6-saddle. Tuners are Sperzel locking tuners.
I’ve owned Hamer T-51 guitars from every year of production (1993-1997) and this is the best I’ve ever owned. Very lightweight at 7 lbs.even. Guitar was routed for a humbucker long before I got it. In fact, I never knew it was routed until I went to adjust the neck pickup and I believe the last owner didn’t know either. Frets are in excellent condition. Pickups are Mojotone clones of the Nocaster pickups found in the early Fender Nocaster Relics with the 10k bridge. I owned a 2001 Nocaster with the 10k bridge and these sound exactly alike to my ears, maybe better. Neck profile is 0.86 at 1st fret and 0.89 at the 12thfret. I installed a slanted switch control plate. Guitar also comes with a backup Hamer T-51 control assembly with the proprietary Hamer pots. Guitar ships with a SKB-TSA-case in excellent condition.
