Ancient Rocker Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 **SOLD**First $1,700 takes it. I cover shipping and paypal! Hey! I'm selling my beautiful 2008 Hamer Talladega in '59 Burst. Going through some life changes and scaling back on gear. The Good News: My wife and I are recent empty nesters! The Not-So-Good News: $$$We now have TWO daughters enrolled in Private Christian Colleges...FRESHMAN and SOPHOMORE$$$! So...I'm selling my Talladega! I'll give it an honest 9.8/10 because of some almost imperceptable button swirlies on the back and the TINYEST of fret wear in only a couple spots in the "Cowboy Chord" area. You can't even feel the wear...there's just a little darker area in a couple spots...thats it! Other than that...it's MINTY!! EVERYTHING except for the strings of course is completely original. This is a 2008 Joel Dantzig-Era Build! Comes with original case and all the original candy. I'm asking for $1900 PRICE DROP TO $1,800 and I'll cover shipping. Shoot me a message with any questions, or if you're interested in buying the Tally, shoot me a message and I'll respond with my cell number so we can chat! Yes...I'm new to the Hamer Forum, but have been extremely active on other prominent guitar forums for years and have a 100% feedback rating on the bay as lets_go_fast. Thanks! Enjoy the pics! ALL pictures taken in natural light EXCEPT for pic #2.
cmatthes Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Absolutely stunning - those Talladegas are very special guitars.Best of luck with the dual tuition, as I'm getting ready to feel a fraction of your pain!(Just a note to add - Jol hadn't built any guitars at Hamer for years before he left)

Thanks!
django49 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Really cool!With our son's "4 1/2th" year at a private university HOPEFULLY leading up to a degree in June, I know how those costs can add up. We were not blessed with added kids, but we paid more for each SEMESTER for one child (by a wide margin) than I paid for my BS AND MBA combined.....MANY years ago.Good luck.
BubbaVO Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I like that top and finish. The price is really good. Someone here should snap this up.
gorch Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Those Tallies are really special guitars. Did you think of the option to keep it while asking your girls to, alternatively, enroll on rich Christian college boys? Good luck with the sale and welcome to the boards!
Bigstu Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Hi,The guitar is an absolute credit to you. Great to see someone who respects such a wonderful instrument.I have just joined the Forum with no experience other than a huge fan. So far I have managed to get my hands on 5 from the same year of production as yours which I believe is just pre Fender.I live in Launceston Tasmania and wondered if you might consider my interest in the guitar.Yes the home of the Tasmanian devil!Thanks for your consideration. Stu

StuThanks for the offer Stu...However, my preference would be to ship within the States for now. If the Tally doesn't sell within a week or so...I will consider your interest. Thanks for your understanding mate!---Jim

Morris Davis Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 My advice here for what it's worth is to just state your reserve on this forum. There's a chance you'll get it and you will save big time on eBay fees, plus will get paid right away. My 2 cents.

BubbaVO Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Price Drop Bump...Now $1,800!A heck of a time for me to be out of work. I would have jumped all over that.

Ancient Rocker Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Ebay was not kind...Let's go! $1,700 shipped and paypaled.
django49 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 What is going on with the market?....Two listed at once----One sold for $1450, the other not at all. Great guitars.....Not too many seem to come up for resale....Something is wrong!My look at the photos makes me think this one looks nicer than the one that did sell. Too bad both were closing within hours. Good luck with a sale.
