Hamer Standard Custom Aztec Gold Willcutt Special Edition

 

This new Standard Custom is part of a special 5 guitar run commissioned by Willcutt Guitars.  This Standard Custom features an Ultimate Grade flame maple top, ebony fingerboard with custom Victory inlays, and custom Jason Lollar Firebird pickups with custom wiring.  These guitars are fully chambered with an "X" brace pattern that really opens up the sound.  The electronics include a blend pot for the middle position and a ToneStyler 16 position tone pot. 

Jol Datzigs from Hamer says, "The Tonestyler is a cool little device; I think it's a very useful system for a lot of instances where you need to find a space for your guitar in a mix.  It has sixteen positions, with dedicated caps for each 'click.'  It reminds me a little of using a parametric eq, only with a bunch of progressive presets.  There's also a 'true bypass' position that takes the loading out of the signal chain for those of you who can hear a dog whistle."  He goes on to say, "We really enjoyed making these guitars, and the results were both beautiful to look at and killer to play.  It was a fun exercise, and there are going to be a small group of very lucky (and happy) guitarists when these are gone."
