Hamer Monaco Super Pro 2004 - Unique in the World !

A perfectly bookmatched flamed maple top expertly joined to a Honduran mahogany body with special hollow sound chambers combine to produce a tone that is sweet, tight, and balanced with incredible presence all its own. A set mahogany neck, 25-1/2" scale, and Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece give you all the sustain and articulation you need. The body, neck, and headstock are bound with Ivoroid and the fingerboard features Hamer Victory mother-of-pearl inlays. The Superpro is powered by Seymour Duncan Custom (neck) and Custom Custom (bridge) pickups. Pickups are wired in phase with the pickup selector in middle position.

Hamers are usually a safe bet, this one looks pretty nice.

Not my favorite Hamer though, and not my favorite LPish guitar either. Something seems a little weird about it that I can’t put my finger on.
 
Not my thing.. for that sort of guitar I prefer an utterly ordinary, vanilla, run-of-the mill, no surprises Les Paul Standard.
 
I like it. 25-1/2 scale on a LP is a cool sound. My only concern would be the chambering which usually messes with an LPs tone in a bad way. IMHO
 
They should do a 'Nordschleife' with a lot more strings, frets, pickups and knobs and a 'Le Mans' that you have to play for 24 hours once you pick it up.

:embarrassed:
 
I'm usually a Hamer fan, but that looks like it's been stung by a bee and is allergic. Pass.
