Michael_B Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This guitar (marked "25/25") is in excellent condition. A little light pick-swirling on the top and a little light jean-rivet swirling on the back. No other issues to the finish, no meaningful fret-wear, and no signs of corrosion to the metal finish.

atomicwash Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 This is amazing! If my next Shishkov was not coming up soon, I would jump all over this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 As far as I know all Talladega’s are chambered, except for 1, which sounded different , if I remember correctly from Jol’s blog. Now it may be that the chambers in the EM Tally’s are slightly different from the regular ones, But I am not sure about that. Gabe 😀 Oh and indeed a big thumbs up for the photography 👍.

Just to clarify, rosewood is what's restricted by CITES, which is on the majority of Hamers. It's not just the 'earthen maple' ones, but any Hamer with rosewood. Maple by itself isn't affected.

stedge Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If anyone wants my graphic special and Newport pro then I will happily take this EM tally. I’d love to try this lovely hunk o wood. if this post is inappropriate please feel free to delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorch Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Tallies are chambered, very light weight and resonate. The neck usually is a V shape. Fantastic to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLWTS Talleys are the best. I appreciate the compliment, particularly because I'm never happy with my pics. I use some photography gear including a very large roll of white paper, which I had used to shoot product pics for my (former) company's products.

Michael_B Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm happy to write that this guitar stayed in the HFC family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicwash Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 And that HFC family member will be listing a 1965 Guild Starfire III in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASguy Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I am relieved that the earthen maple tally has sold; I was sorely tempted even though I just purchased a beautiful Tally, (Brown Sugar Quilt top) here on the HFC a few months ago and I am trying to downsize.
