WG1 Review: This guitar shows the hallmarks of something that was made by... | Slammer | Electric Guitars | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

The Slammer by Hamer WG1 is a budget guitar that carries a nostalgic mid-2000s vibe and solid durability, making it an intriguing find for those hunting for inexpensive gear. With a reliable build and decent playability, it has a certain charm as a backup or practice instrument. However, it falls short in sound quality, with its basic tone and lackluster pickups. The aesthetic details like faux quilt tops and mismatched binding might not win over everyone. This guitar is best suited for beginners or those wanting a low-cost, durable guitar to mess around with, but it won't meet the expectations of serious players seeking high-end sound and craftsmanship.

holy typo, Hamer (under orders from then-parent-company the Kayman group who owns ovation and a helicopter company and god knows what else) released the cheapo Slammers.... previously Hamer was the 1st boutique brand in the modern sense.

My mistake, thanks for the background, this guitar's always been a mystery to me.

no problem... I had a friend in highschool who had the exact guitar you have, his was red.... I think he parted it out eventually. But I am a pretty big hamer USA fan too so it was pretty easy for me to tell ya all about this early Korean import.

Korean? that's surprising since this guitar provides me with the tones I want, thanks once again!
