Hamer USA added the Monaco single cutaway series to its lineup for January NAMM 2002. For the past 25 years, Hamer has always been known for producing hand-made, double-cutaway style guitars. "Those players who are aware of the quality of Hamer will now look to us as an alternative choice when shopping for a single cutaway USA-made guitar, ” related Frank Rindone, Hamer’s product manager.
The Hamer Monaco features an ivoroid bound, Honduras mahogany body with a hand-carved solid spruce top with two f-holes. The bound mahogany neck is a 25 ½” scale length with a rosewood fingerboard and features Hamer’s new Victory mother-of pearl inlays.
