'Import Series
As mentioned, ca. '97 Hamer began to shift its Korean imports from the Slammer Series into the Import Series, switching Slammer production to Indonesia. The Import Series, sometimes called the Hamer Guitar, was intended to be the company's mid-line offering. Since Korean manufacturers have dramatically improved their quality in recent years, these are high-quality guitars, designed in the U.S. and made overseas. Hamer's Korean Imports carry the Hamer logo (no 'USA,' see the sidebar on logos).
In '98 the Import Series included the Sunburst Arch Top Flame Top (SATF), Standard (STD), Rick Nielsen Signature (RNS), Echotone (ECO), Stellar 1 (ST1), Californian (CAL), Diablo (DAB), and Cruise 4 (CRS) and Cruise 5 (CRV) basses. The Sunburst Arch Top Flame Top, Californian, Diablo, and Cruise basses were continuations of previous Slammer models. As alluded to earlier, in terms of design the Import Series was very similar to their previous American counterparts, although materials were sometimes different. Pickups on the Import Series were Duncan Designed.
The Import Sunburst Arch Top Flame Top was basically the equivalent of the Hamer USA Studio, which descended from the Sunburst Archtop Standard. Carved flame maple top over mahogany, rosewood dotneck with three-and-three head. Color options were Cherry Sunburst, Purpleburst and Blueburst.
The Import Standard basically replaced the old USA Standard. This looked like the old model, complete with pickguard, but was now made of solid maple with a glued-in neck and scimitar headstock.'
This one is in VG++ condition with just a few small blemishes on the top of the headstock. No nicks or dings and no buckle rash. Will come complete with new strings of your preferred gauge and a good cleaning plus complete setup. This guitar has been sitting on my stand and it never gets played. This guitar is well built and is heavy. Set, wide neck. Duncan Designed pups. Gold hardware. Nice FMT.
- All of the new Hammer and Ebonite balls have shallow Serial Numbers. AS far as i know, the old deeper numbers were extremly long when they had the USBC Star next to it. I think that Ebonite/Hammer decided that cosmetically, smaller and shalower serial numbers were better.

- They gave this guitar the serial number 0000. Part of the early Hamer philosophy was making guitars the way Gibson did when Ted McCarty was running the company. McCarty, by this time, was running Bigsby, in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
