The necks are pieces of art!!! The Aztec Gold's neck plays perfectly at 3/32 off the frets, the Amber's neck plays perfectly at 2/32 off the frets. Unreal how well they are built and play. All of mine were made when Hamer owned Hamer, I had an endorsement with them right before the moved their production facility. When they told me they wouldn't build anymore USA Californians, I lost interest in them and moved on.

My Hamers are my favorite guitars ever (especially my Californian)
Gorgy Calis! LOVE 'em!
Nothing says "awesome" like more than 24 frets on a guitar! My EC Washburns don't even get a touching any more as how many 29+ fret guitars are there now? One Ibby, and ESP has a 27 fret #.

When Hamer was acquired by Kaman it was only a matter of time.
