I love the P90/semi-hollow guitar platform so I go through any guitar with those specs with a fine-toothed comb.

Let me tell you that this guitar passed with flying colors. I've had a soft spot for USA Hamers since one of my first guitar shop visits and finding this piece in such excellent condition made me want to immediately plug it in. I was not disappointed! It has that characteristic P90 clarity in any pickup position with a nice bark when you really dig in with your pick attack on the bridge pickup. Honestly, if someone doesn't buy this one...I might.

With this design series we wanted to expand the notion of what a traditional style single-cutaway could be. Starting with a generous (13.8”) body dimension and by using a longer (25.5”) scale length, the Monaco family of semi-hollow designs blurs the distinction between genres. More comfortable to play than a big hollowbody, yet surprisingly open and articulate, the Monaco offers the guitarist new colors to paint with.

By varying the wood selection and hardware the Monaco family has a choice for every type of player. The SubTone is a 26.5” scale, intended to be tuned down a fifth (or more) without compromising the ability to play chord forms. The Elite is a smaller solidbody version with a more distinct midrange.
