My HAMER CALIFORNIAN showed up in the post and after playing it for a few hours I say it's a really solid guitar with perfect intonation. The 27 fret thing is just amazing and I think I"m going to have to add that to my list of things I look for on an instrument. It really reduces the number of contenders on a given list that's for sure.
1.)Double Locking Trem
2.)Alnico Based Pickup (Personal preference really)
3.)Deep Cutaway
4.)Neck similar to a Ibby WIZARD
5.)27 Frets
6)ERD If possible
That pretty much covers what I"m looking to add next.
**I"M SELLING THE CALIFORNIANIt's a fine Axe. And it's in great shape. But to be honest I"m not in love with the neck. It's not terrible, just not what I was expecting. Next axe coming in is an Ibanez XIPHOS. Neck through body, Wizard Neck. High hopes
Here is a quick pick of the HAMER and my IBBY RG560 side by side. Just from looking at the thickness of the neck, guess which is the Ibby
