Virtually unchanged since its introduction, the Standard Custom remains a mainstay of the Hamer catalog. This gorgeous example features appointments like mother-of-pearl “Victory” inlays, multiply binding and pickguard and all-gold hardware. The Standard features a neck and body made with mahogany, a maple cap and an ebony fingerboard. Duncan humbuckers (‘78 in the bridge; ’59 in the neck) and a Tone Pros Tune-o-matic bridge round out the package.
