While in production rehearsals for Britneyís World Tour, guitarist Ben Mauro called on Kaman Music to check out one of Hamerís Bigsby-equipped guitars for onstage use.
A stock MON-RTC Monaco was delivered, and Ben was floored by the guitarís tones and out-of-the-box playability. Ben has been playing the Hamer across the globe ever since The Onyx Hotel Tour kicked-off.
Prior to landing the gig with Britney, Ben was steadily performing with Oscar and Grammy Award winning pop icon Lionel Richie since Sept. 1999. Ben had also completed a US tour supporting guitar legend Peter Frampton, as the Musical Director in a rock group produced by Frampton himself.
Ben is originally from Syracuse, NY and spent ten years living and performing in New York City. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
