Ed Roman & Hamer Guitars
35 Plus Years
Ed Roman is probably been carrying Hamer Guitars longer than any
other dealer in the world. Ed started with Hamer in 1977 approximately 35 years
ago.
Hamer has always been a high quality well made guitar but they do not offer any
neck through body guitars & never have. They were extremely innovative during
the 80's and early 90's but when Kaman bought them they started doing more importing than
innovating.
Ed Roman specializes in 80's Hamer collectables. Hamer was famous for making one of a kind really cool guitars during the
80's.
Ed Roman also has those hard to find, excellent sounding, original Hamer
sustainer bridges in stock. Always looking To Buy 80's Hamer Guitars.

Awesomely Cool "Bolt On" Custom Guitar Built By
Ben Chafin
(The Guitar Is Owned By Gene Kelly)
We especially like the maple
fingerboard & a DiMarzio bridge
We originally thought this guitar was
a Hamer because of the logo.
Ben used a Hamer neck from a 1993
Hamer guitar. The body is a 1979 Warmouth
Mighty Mite with Super Distortion
clone pickups. Ed Roman has the last available
original Hamer sustainer adjustable
bridges. If you want one of these
Ed Roman will build you one as a neck
through or bolt on.
We can use any headstock style you
like!!!
KK Downing Studley Vee
This was KK's favorite guitar,
He is known mainly for this guitar which was a one of a kind made for him by the
original Pre Kaman, Pre Fender, Hamer Company.
Hamer never released this guitar to the general public, They tried to be a
vintage company instead and concentrated on their original double cutaway
models.
A huge marketing mistake which I believe to have been their downfall.
The Hamer guitars were built extremely well, Easily better
than Gibson and they stood toe to toe with any Jackson or PRS quality wise.
Their mistake was not to offer enough 24 fret models. They never ever offered a
neck thru body guitar either. They failed to continue to innovate. They went
backwards instead of forward which is why you don't see their new guitars in any
stores these days. The signature model KK plays today by some unknown
builder looks ok but it doesn't have the feel & quality of that Hamer he used
when he was at the top of his game. Kaman eventually ruined Hamer by
putting out cheap Indonesian made copies of the real guitars and putting the
Hamer name on them. They made the classic mistake and today the Hamer guitars
aren't holding their real value because of it.
We Are Now Offering A Very High Quality Neck Thru Body

photos so we could replicate the bevels and the studs.
