Hamer USA Duo Tone in orangeburst for sale.

The Hamer Duo Tone is one of the most versatile (and underrated) handmade guitars in Customshop quality, used by bands like Pearl Jam, The Police, Styx, Little River Band, Cheap Trick, Todd Rundgren and many other musicians.

This guitar offers an enormous variety of high class sound possibilities: two Humbuckers and the Piezo system are completely switch- and mixable and can be changed on stage immediately: from clear and crispy acoustic sounds to heavy hardrock walls: everything is possible, even both at once.

Year of construction 1995
Serial number: 5 43 159

Wood:
Neck: three-piece Honduras mahogany
Fingerboard: Rosewood with mother-of-pearl-dot inlays
Body: one-piece Honduras mahogany
Top: two-piece Sitka spruce with three round sound holes at the top of the body plus ivory binding
Bridge: Walnut

Pickups:
Original Seymour Duncan Humbucker. Neck: ’59, Bridge: Jeff Beck

Rear switch: 1st:  Humbucker, 2nd: Humbucker plus Piezo, 3rd:  Piezo
Three pots: 1st: Volume Humbucker, 2nd: Tone Humbucker, 3rd: Volume Piezo

Individual triple Piezo EQ adjustment on the back plate: 100 Hz, 1.200 Hz, 4.500 Hz plus adjustment for overall Piezo-Gain.

Two output sockets, one for Humbucker and one for Piezo. This allows individual routing to different amps and setups  If desired: both outputs can easily combined with an Y-cable.

Original Schaller M6 chrome tuners

Weight: 2. 9 kg

Condition: almost mint or NOS except two small cracks in the finish down both sides of the nut (no headstock crack, no repair, hardly perceptible, see photos) and Straplock buttons.

The Duo Tone is on sale because I start reducing my collection and will concentrate on Hamers from the 70s and 80s (see last photos). I am the second owner and bought the guitar in 2001.
