Interesting to me that he used a 12 string Hamer guitar in this.
Hamer originally built high-end electric guitars targeted towards
professional musicians. They were, at on time, very good guitars
and if you can find an original, made in USA Hamer, it can be worth
some $$.

Unfortunately, as with many good guitar brands, Fender eventually bought
the Hamer brand name and started importing cheaply built versions that
just weren't representative of the originals. Also like many other
competing guitar companies, Fender milked Hamer for what they could then
shut the brand down in 2009.

You're correct Richard. And what Fender didn't wreck, Gibson did. Look what they did to Kramer, Tobias, and Ned Steinderger. Turned them into cheap scrap and sold the brands online through MusicYo.com

I think they're gone now...
