Big Value in a Single-cutaway Electric
With its vintage-style single-cutaway body and impressive craftsmanship, the Hamer Monaco is a ready-to-gig solidbody electric guitar at a great value. You'll be able to dial in everything from mellow cleans to aggressive distortion with dual Hamer-designed humbucking pickups, and independent volume controls allow for a huge range of tonal combinations. A rock-solid combination of a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece keeps your tuning solid. Topped with gorgeous flame maple, the Hamer Monaco is a great-looking guitar that's ready to hit the stage.

Thin "U" neck shape on a set neck
The Monaco is aimed at modern players who prefer a sleeker feel. The mahogany neck boasts a Thin "U" profile that stays out of the way when you need to pick up the speed. And the ivoroid binding on the neck doesn't just look classy, it creates a much smoother feel when you're moving your hand up and down the fretboard. You can expect impressive sustain and outstanding note definition from the Hamer Monaco, thanks to its set-neck construction. Combined with your favorite pedal and amplifier, the Monaco sings loud and proud.
Hamer-designed humbucking pickups
Guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed by the punchy sound of the Hamer-designed humbuckers on the Monaco. They offer a wide tonal range and clean up nicely when you roll the volume back. Speaking of which, the Monaco packs dual volume knobs — combined with the 3-way selector, there are a lot of tones to explore here. With the flick of a switch, you're able to go from warm cleans in the neck position to the full-throated punch of the wide-open bridge pickup.
High-class appointments
One thing that has always helped Hamer electric guitars stand out is their elegant ornamentation. Across the length of the fingerboard, you'll find the company's recognizable victory inlays. Binding hugs the curves of the guitar's body and fretboard, and a gorgeous figured maple veneer is applied over the guitar's beveled, solid-maple top. The Monaco boasts all the high-class appointments that put the company on the map decades ago.
