"Do you own that one, Jared? That's Johnny Colt's, ain't it?..."
Don't own this one-only Colt here has ACP or HBAR after it...

Hamer 12-String Anyone?

I don't get the comments about a 12 being hard to play. During most of the '90s I had 2 Hamer B12Ss and they were all I played in my original-music band. Sold one after the band broke up but still have my "Salmon Blush" B12S.

Hard to play, maybe not. Hard work to play, definitely.

Looks more like a Les Paul, sized more like a 360F.

So, you still have the one I sold you Paul? It sounded great, but I just couldn't grasp gripping three strings at a time to play the same note. For me, it was more frustrating than what it was worth.

Still have it, Rob, and it's quite the beast.

Sure was a beast. Too bad I couldn't tame it. I'll stick to four strings for now. Maybe sometime I'll try an 8-banger, but twelve was just too much.
I think Hamer made tons of these, especially in the Chapperal (sp?) design. When I bought that one at my local GC, there were like 5 or so hanging around the store. Now, I haven't seen one in quite a while. They come and go in spurts, I guess.
