Great fuzz, prefer the N.Y.C Reissue honestly
This Big Muff is incredible, the bottom end is very smooth and present even with the tone knob a little over 3 o'clock, but it's a lot tamer and not as chaotic as the N.Y.C Big Muff Reissue, but it's really down to personal preference. It's still a spectacular fuzz/distortion!

My Custom Telecaster
"Hayley" (also known as the S*ittycaster)is named after Hayley Williams of Paramore. This used to be my Harley Benton TE-20. I took the guitar apart, painted it shell pink, stuck stickers on it and installed new electronics.
The ToneRider TRT1 Vintage Plus pickups in this guitar provide a vintage 70s Tele tone, which sounds great with a bit of overdrive pushing my amp. Although the pickups aren't humbuckers (which I am used to playing with), these pickups have a lot of mid-range which is what I'd like to get out of a guitar tone, so the tone isn't hollow.
Absolutely amazing with blackface amps, I'm gonna be using this instrument primarily for a very long time.

you named your guitar after a member of a band you're not in? please tell me you're having an affair with her then

Nice sounding clean tone.
I received this as a gift from my uncle a couple months ago. The clean tone is okay if you get the right settings, the bridge pickup isn't very good so I primarily use the neck pickup. I have played 'Scar Tissue' by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and 'Youth' by Daughter on this guitar and the tone I create from this guitar feels very mellow and soothing, if you're a beginner I recommend picking up this guitar. It's cheap and sounds decent too.

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!
