Hamer Artist 1999 Cherry Red 25th Anniversary Model

Nice little guitar. I like Hamers and I have a Hamer Tele I'd never part with. Light at around 6.9 pounds and has a character all it's own. Pictures show the small dings and there seems to have been some bubble problems when they put on those last coats. Anyway, I'd keep it but I can't keep everything.

And the pickups are the Seymour Duncan's p-90s not the originals.

Couldn't find a video for this baby. Too bad. Don't know why, it's a great guitar.

Artist – 25th Anniversary
In ’99, Hamer continued its juggernaut with the introduction of a flurry of new semi-hollow Artist models in celebration of the company’s 25th anniversary. Actually, this is misleading because, as we’ve documented, the company really began in ’73 and kind of evolved into existence over the next couple of years. However, ’74 was the year the first Standard (Explorer) appeared, so that is apparently the marker being used.

The Hamer 25th Anniversary Edition (AN25E) featured Hamer’s now trademark equal double-cutaway shape with the slightly larger bass horn, glued-in neck, three-and-three head, f-hole, Seymour Duncan JB and ’59 humbuckers (covered), Grover tuners, finetune bridge, and stop tailpiece. The fingerboard was unbound mahogany with dot inlays. The body and neck were of mahogany, but the distinguishing feature was a carved top made of bookmatched “chevron” mahogany, a highly figured variety with dark striations.

Also offered was the upscale Hamer 25th Anniversary Limited Edition (AN25L). This differed from the regular edition in that it sported a bound flamed maple top (even the f-hole was bound) and a bound ebony fingerboard (and head) with pearl crown inlays. Pickups were Seymour Duncan Custom and Pearly Gates humbuckers. However, the truly deluxe features were “25th Anniversary” – engraved sterling silver truss rod cover and back control plate, a line of sterling silver purfling on the inside of the body binding, and a special silver-colored hardshell case!

The 25th Anniversary Edition and 25th Anniversary Limited Edition were both finished in transparent cherry and were offered in ’99 only.
