USA Hamer Eclipse, One-Piece Body! Mini Humbuckers. Better than Gibson Les Paul Junior, Quality!
Beautiful Mid 90s Hamer USA Eclipse. Made in USA by Hamer this Eclipse is a workhorse. Eclipse includes a Mahogany body with top and rear contours, mahogany neck with a medium D carve that measures .84" at the 1st fret and .87" at the 12th, Seymour Duncan mini-humbuckers, Sperzel Locking tuners, and TonePros fully adjustable bridge. I will also include the original Wilkinson/Gotoh bridge.
It is extremely comfortable to play for extended periods. Because of this she's been played a bit. Upon a casual glance the guitar looks perfect and it has no breaks Upon closer inspection you can see a few dings and pick scratches. None of the wear is serious nor does it affect playability. Just good honest wear from years of use. Your Eclipse will ship in a Washburn hard shell case.
If you know Hamer USA guitars, you probably miss them. IMHO they were making some of the finest instruments made in the USA. Too bad they are gone.
This is mid 90s USA Eclipse model that features a one-piece Honduran Mahogany body, '59 carve Mahogany neck, 24.75 inch Gibson scale neck, premium Sperzel locking tuners, TonePros tunomatic bride and stop tailpiece and two Seymour Duncan mini-humbuckers with a three-way switch and volume and tone controls.
Everything functions as it should and the action is set to 1/16th" at the 12th fret on the treble side and 3/32nds on the bass side with almost no relief. Plays extraordinarily well with no fret buzz or getting out anywhere on the neck. It's like playing an Italian racecar... very sleek and luxurious.
The tone is with the sound of a full-size hum bucker and blended with the string definition and cut of a single coil. No mud on the bass pickup and no ice-pick on the bridge pickup. It is reminiscent of the kind of growl and grind you get from a vintage Les Paul Special but with much better fit and finish.
A great axe at a killer price.
It is built like an absolute tank with Honduras mahogany, nitro finish and great SD mini buckers. The profile of the neck is closer to a slim taper than a rounded 59 but if you like USA strats you will be at home. The tone is great, I use it nearly exclusively to cover Queens of the Stone Age and it does an amazing job, of course anything a Firebird can do is also possible as well as eat fuzz for breakfast... loads of punch and bite with clarity. FYI, Hamer was completing and shipping 5 guitars a day. The new price in 97 was around 1k.
