Features

Hamer necks are constructed using a "stressed neck" system, by matching a straight grain with 2 opposing grains
Hamer necks are joined using an oversized dovetail joint.
Hamer uses a low mass, 3/16" in diameter truss rod, requiring less wood to be removed from the neck.
Hamer installs each steel truss rod pre-tensioned, which allows the truss rod to be adjusted both forward and backward.
All Hamer frets are hand seated one at a time using a hand press.
All fingerboards are attached to the necks and allowed to settle before being radiused and fretted.
Hamer uses a patented "lubritrak nut" which is a material impregnated with lubricating molecules.
All rosewood fingerboards are "Quarter Sawn".

Benefits

This process makes each neck rigid and resistant to warping and twisting because of grain direction and density.
Because the neck joint is 25% larger than the "tenon" style, the transmission of energy and vibration give every Hamer a naturally longer sustain and sweeter tone.
This ensures that the truss rod does not interfere with the sound of the wood.
This eliminates the need for sustain-robbing double rods or strengthening bars to remove warps or bows.
Ensures that every fret is pressed down evenly and exactly, regardless of the density of the wood.
Necks will stay truer for a longer period of time.
The nut self lubricates to ensure each string from hanging up.
Ensures long life, straightness, and contributes to the stability of the neck.

Hamer bodies are constructed using the finest "Pattern Stock" Honduras mahogany.
Every Hamer is finished with fine guitar lacquer and buffed to perfection.
Each strap button is mounted on a flat, routed, surface including a rubber shock absorber.

Provides each Hamer with the best quality wood for greater resonance, vibration, and tone.
Gives each Hamer a deep, rich, finish without inhibiting the sound quality.
Cushions any impacts and stress from the strap, which can cause finish cracking.

All pickups are tone-selected for its intended location. Something Hamer has been doing since the beginning.
All pickups are mounted to the body using threaded brass inserts.
All volume pots are custom tapered with a boost at the last 1/10th of rotation.
On all Archtop models each pot shaft is drilled perpendicular to the surface.
Control cavities are meticulously wired and sprayed with a coat of premium nickel based paint and covered with an aluminum plate.

Ensures a selection of available tones and optimizes each individual pickup sound.
Provides stability rather than using wood screws.
Allows for an additional volume gain for soloing.
In doing it this way there is no interference with the curve of the arch, allowing the controls to be brought closer to the bridge.
Making sure that every Hamer is free from any unwanted noise.
