KORINA STANDARD!

Here's an old favorite that I've been working out for two encore songs the past week or so out here. My Hamer Korina Standard, circa 1997 I think. New pickups for this year, Duncan 59's with gold covers, to make a more vintage look. This guitar feels so well balanced and comfortable. I just love it like a comfy old pair of sneakers. Thanks to my long-time tech and friend, Donnie Spada, for convincing me not to leave it at home :) Click on the photos to super-size. -Tom

Tom's refinished Hamer Duotone in Transparent Arctic White to match no doubt's 2009 stage set and the look of the show. "Anyway, the key thing about the Duotone is that it is both an electric guitar and acoustic guitar at the same time. As you can see from the pictures, there are two plugs, one for the electric pickups, which goes to my amp, and one for the acoustic pickup, which goes to a DI and then into the house PA system. The two tones sound quite lush when mixed together, and sound great on "Don't Speak", "Simple Kind of Life", "Running" and "It's My Life". If you're coming to a show, listen for it.

Tom's 2009 Hamer Special. Made of African Mahogany or Limba Wood, in Arctic transparent white. It has Duncan Fat Cat pickups and Hamer's own Original Sustain Block Bridge.

Tom talking about Dreamcar and the gutars he used. "I mostly used my Gretsch Duo Jet with Filter’Trons and a Bigsby. There was something about that guitar—a chiming top end with a little bit of body. My Hamer 12-string electric was used for single-note lines, and it was processed with a heavy, saturated delay and a chorus. Then, there was a 15-year-old Ovation double-neck acoustic with a Nashville tuning on one neck. This was for ear candy and strum-y things, like what Johnny Marr did on the early Smiths tracks."

According to a post by Kauer Guitars on Instagram, Tom Dumont, guitarist, utilized the Custom Built Kauer Banshee and Gripen models during No Doubt's performance at Coachella in 2024. The post highlights the significance of this event for the guitar manufacturer and expresses gratitude towards Tom Dumont for choosing their instruments, noting, "There’s No Doubt that this was absolutely the biggest show anything we’ve ever built has ever played! @tomdumontphoto and his Gripen and Banshee sounded incredible and we are beyond humbled and fortunate to have been a little part of @nodoubt incendiary @coachella show!!"
