Building guitars by hand is a somewhat solitary venture; a stark contrast to the the world in which those instruments are meant to perform. Most days, we go about our business quietly, almost secretly. Ok, occasionally, we have to let the world know we exist in order to remain in business, but for the most part we're really quite happy to follow our hearts and stay focused on what really matters—doing great work.

Other times, we're thrust into the spotlight, like when we're interviewed by a magazine or filmed for television. When I go on the road to visit our dealers I literally take the stage for Hamer. But sometimes, it's a customer who swings the white hot beam of light into our workshop, and puts the guys center stage.
That's what happened this week when one of our good customers, a guy who has a nice little collection of super-customized Hamers, asked us to autograph his hat. Of course we were happy to oblige, but the guys in the shop were almost embarrassed about it. We like to let the work speak for itself, and believe me, it's a team effort. So, in that spirit, we all signed the cap as a team. It's just a way for us to say thanks, and connect with a "fan."
A good way to end the week...
