Hamer Guitar Guru Jol Dantzig
Backstage and in the Studio


With Nick Lowe during a night of Vodka and orange juice with the Cowboy Outfit.

In the early 1980s with the prototype power-pop band Shoes.

Jol backstage with John Entwhistle and Jack Blades. A stellar night with insane jams until the sun came up with Steve Stevens, Brad Gillis, Sugar Blue, Buddy Guy, Buddy Miles and so many more we wish we could remember...

Elliot Easton shows the requisite rock attitude while Jol Dantzig passes the blame.

Andy Summers and Jol Dantzig designing a new instrument in the Hamer offices. This session resulted in the sketches for the "Harp" guitar shown below.


Glenn Tipton and Jol Dantzig in the studio with Judas Priest. Later that night Jol, Glenn and KK wound up onstage with a local club band. Fighting broke out and for a while it looked like every one would spend the night in the pokey when the police had to break it up. Luckily, everyone got to go home.
