Hamer Artist Custom 2008 59 Burst

No. 855852, weight = 7 pounds 1.8 ounces, original hardshell case included with papers & key.

 

What an amazing and gorgeous Guitar, coming from a smoke free, climate controlled and mostly unplayed collection! The Hartford, CT Hamers are among the finest electric Guitars ever made and this Artist Custom is one of the best we’ve yet to see & strum. Condition is really very close to mint, with no scratches/dent/dings/fret wear, etc. There’s some minor surface swirl marks on the back, but they’re so minimal and almost nothing really. It’s original, including the Duncan 59’s. (see below)

 

These Guitars were made to the highest possible standards and the quality is legendary. Specs include:

• 24 ¾” scale length, 1-11/16th nut width
• Hamer offered 2 neck sizes & this is the beefier of the 2. Much like a ’59 LP, measuring .89” at fret 1 & .94” at fret 12. 22 medium frets with no fret grooves.
• AAAA highly figured, carved solid Maple top.
• Italian grained Ivoroid binding- magnificent!
• Beautiful Victory fingerboard inlays. Inlaid peghead- bound
• TonePro bridge & stop bar
• Very large & tight dovetail body to neck joint. Best in the biz.
• Impeccable fit & finish
• Honduran Mahogany body & neck.
• Original fine condition case
• Certificate, signed by Jol Danzig & Frank. Untermyer

 

Simply a “stunning” example of how fine a Guitar can be crafted when the makers demand the absolute highest standards and adhere to those standards.

 

 

From the Seymour Duncan web site:

The ’59 bridge model (SH-1b) is a vintage output humbucker that’s great for rock, blues, and more. Its vintage-inspired coils give it an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, and the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 1950s. The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with a brighter top end, and a slightly more compressed sound.

 

The ’59 neck model (SH-1n) is one of our most popular pickups because it’s so versatile. Like its bridge-position sibling, the ’59 neck is designed in the spirit of the original P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950s, with sweet sustain, and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack. We’ve made a few refinements to slightly modernize the design and make it more adaptable to different styles. The high end is slightly boosted for improved pick-attack clarity and the mids are a little scooped for an open, smooth sound that’s great for preserving the clarity of the individual notes in a chord. The ’59 neck was born to accompany the ’59 bridge, but countless players pair it with a high output bridge humbucker, such as a JB or Custom. It’s also a popular choice for humbucker-routed Telecasters.

 

The ’59 model features a variety of traditional vintage treatments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push back lead wire, and no logo. As with all of our P.A.F.-style pickups, the ’59 vintage output humbucker is wound on Seymour’s classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine from the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
