Nah, Hamer USA went out of business. Another company bought the name and was making them in Indonesia. Pretty good guitars, but not like the USA ones.. Those D-15's are great!Sasquach wrote: ↑Sun Apr 13, 2025 3:19 pmThey would match up perfectly.toomanyknives wrote: ↑Sat Apr 12, 2025 3:19 pmI need one of those to go with my Guitar headstock logo, Charlie..Nice guitar! Is Fender still making Hammer guitars? I'm an acoustic guy although I have had several acoustic/electric guitars. Just sold a 1975 Ovation Custom Legend that had a pick-up. So right now I only have my Martin D-15 and a homemade mandolin.
I love my D-15 but lately I've been having a craving for an arched back Guild. The USA made Guilds are outstanding high quality guitars but they also have a line of Asian made guitars that are nice for the price. One of my friends has a Gibson J-200 that I keep trying to steal too.toomanyknives wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 4:56 amNah, Hamer USA went out of business.

I have a 1975 Guild G-37 maple with the arched back. I love that guitar. Here's a pic of it for you..Sasquach wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 2:05 pmI love my D-15 but lately I've been having a craving for an arched back Guild.

This guitar was built at The Wayne Henderson School of Appalachian Arts in Marion, VA. There were five students and three master luthiers in the class I attended. I wish I could say I built it, but I had a lot help from the three master luthiers. I can say it is a one of one and it is the best playing guitar I’ve ever played. And to quote an old Shake and Bake TV commercial, “ And I helped”.
Thank you.toomanyknives wrote: ↑Tue Apr 15, 2025 2:44 am I can just look at that and tell it sounds great, Bill! That's a really gorgeous guitar. Y'all did great work on it!
I really like the headstock shape and your logo. Excellent!
Beautiful guitar Bill! The fact that you built it yourself is priceless.Gtrclktr-351 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 15, 2025 2:26 am Well, if we’re gonna show guitars I‘m gonna break out my pride and joy.

I had a friend (now dearly departed) in WV who made guitars. He made the mandolin I have. Well, it's not really a mandolin because he had never made a mandolin before so the back isn't arched and the bracing is done more like a guitar than a mandolin. It has its own sound. I call it a manditar.![]()
