Neil Young's Dead Man

burningyen · Nov 27th 2014

I've been a diehard Hamer fan since '99 but ended up selling them all when my Floyd tribute started monopolizing all my playing time. I've also been searching for a Newport 90 for 6 years without success...until tonight. When I unboxed the guitar and gave it that 1st strum I immediately felt inspired to record something to celebrate, and to remember what was once a great guitar company.

Once again recorded using one of TAF's '58 Tweed Pro C3 Cranked profiles.

A fella came by who was lefty and brought his LP to play my Tungsten that I was selling. He played some of Neil Youngs stuff including this song. Blew me away how cool it was.

Now I also use those older Fender profiles from TAF for my Neil fix.

So this video brings good memories, thanks burningyen. And nice Hamer!

I really did enjoy your Video. Thank you very much. Seems I have to take out my old battered Hamer Sunburst (1979) and some of TAFs old Fender profiles and give it a try. Listening to you makes this a worthwhile thing.
Keep on rocking

The original USA Hamers are great guitars, and most models are extremely undervalued when buying used.

I still have an '80 Standard, and two mid '80s Phantom A7 guitars.

Thanks, guys! It feels nice to be back in the Hamer fold.
