That is sweet. Wish it had been there when I was down to FT Myers. :cool:
I could have brought it part way so Jack wouldn't have to pay as much for shipping. :D |

| Never seen a USA one with no pup covers and the solid inlays instead of the Hamer trademark Vs. Only ever seen those on imports. Was it custom ordered?
Like gallerinski I am no expert. Every time I think I know something...... |

Location: South of most, North of few | Yup, this one's got the USA logo on the headstock, and schroeder, those are Tom Anderson pickups. They have a little wider pole spacing than normal pu's, and I hear they are supposed to be something special, although I can't tell the difference from a normal Seymour Duncan setup. Just designer name I guess, hand wound, blah, blah.... therefore worth more money(?) :rolleyes: |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks Karen, I'm starting to get a few licks together, and am playing it more than the acoustics. I might end up selling the acoustics and buying more electrics before long.

The Hamer Duotone I had for awhile. The truss rod cover is probably from the same era as Tj's, but it wasn't original. The original from 84, I think, was shaped more like we'd see on the Ovations. It went along with the guitar, too. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Similar to the VXT, but used 2 separate cables with acoustic on one and magnetic on the other with a blend, plus a typical switch between the neck and bridge Seymour Duncan pickups.
Like having two guitars in one, which didn't make any sense for a guy who had 15 others that never got plugged in, so I sold it. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The pickups and switching are similar between the Duo-Tone and VXT models with two notable differences. Whereas the Duo-Tone delivers its two pickup systems via separate output jacks, the VXT combines the two channels through a single 1/4" jack in mono mode, or split through stereo channels via the same jack. In addition, whereas both models use a piezo pickup under the bridge for acoustic tone, the VXT runs the signal through its proprietary VIP circuitry. |
