Description
A comprehensive history of the Hamer Guitar Company is presented in this lavishly illustrated book, tracing the company's development from its humble beginnings to its acquisition by Fender Musical Instrument Corporation in 2008. The story is told through nearly 400 images and dozens of interviews with those involved with the company, providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the company's design and production processes. The book delves into the inspiration behind Hamer's iconic "ultimate" guitar, the Standard, and explores the company's rise to compete with the giants of American guitar-making. Written by two of the company's principal architects, the book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the electric guitar. With a foreword by Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, this book is a treasured keepsake for guitar enthusiasts and collectors alike.
