Thanks, all. I have a Talladega, so I don't need convincing of their quality. I've always subscribed to Hamer as being a custom shop-level guitar - and I've always believed Hamers to be underpriced and under-rated.
Got my first (a Studio) in the early 90s. Still have it. I've scooped up several others at comparably low prices, compared to similar guitars by different companies.'
The Talladega is less well known that it deserves to be. Perhaps, the Pro addresses the perceptions that the regular Talladega is a 'niche guitar". It's pretty versatile, to my ears.
