2800.0. "Hamer vs. ESP" by NEST::CURRY () Wed Sep 08 1993 17:41

    What is the difference between these 2 guitars? Is there a difference
    in the quality of the electronics used in one, as opposed to the other?
    If you had a choice, which one would you pick?

    Hamer is US made, ESP is Japanese.  
    
    Hamer started off mostly building guitars based on classic Gibson
    designs.  Now they offer a range of Fenderish styles as well.  
    
    ESP never got into Gibson style guitars as far as I know.

You really can not make a comparison on paper. Go to a shop and try them.
In general both Hamer and ESP make good quality guitars, so a decision can 
only be made by actually playing them yourself.
