The Tally Pro is my favorite Hamer guitar - aside from my custom Chap. It is the bee's knees...

Thanks Mike. Hope you enjoy the guitar while you're waiting for the new build from Jol. ...and thanks for the comments about the CD. Yours' is the second comparison to Zappa (the other was "Like Frank Zappa making fun of Al DiMeola")...I must say, that's totally unintentional as the only records of his that I really liked were Freak Out, Hot Rats and Live at the Fillmore...but I'll take it. Hectorp I can definitely see the Frank Zappa / Al DiMeola thing, although you certainly have your own thing going on. Hellified playing for sure!

Here is his band's Facebook page link: https://www.facebook.com/HedgehogAndTheFox

I purchased a super sweet Tally Pro from hectorp (Chris H) last week and received it in killer condition. I wanted to give him a shout out for a super smooth transaction and an awesome deal on a gorgeous guitar. Chris was kind enough to include a copy of his band, Hedgehog and the Fox, CD - The Love and The Danger. WOW - this is a fantastic album. His band is awesome and his playing is superb - visceral in a Frank Zappa way - which is a good thing. I would definitely recommend this as an HFC must have! Great Stuff Chris - thank you for sharing it with me!

I haven't really ever learned...

That must be David Bs. How much longer till it's completed?

There we go...

Oh man, that is all kinds of badarse right there

Chris, I was floored by that. I think it's beyond cool and really made my day..

Folks, if you have read this book, please hop over to Amazon and rate/write a review! Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764343521

Just got my book yesterday. This is a very well laid out book; lots of interesting information and plenty of absolutely droolworthy pictures! I would definitely like to have the second volume when it becomes available. I still have plenty to read in this one... Steve and Joe, congrats on a brilliant book!

Sorry, I cannot admit to it...

Done^^^^

Lol - good thing I am not married. I prefer to feel of Dunlop picks over Fender and Gibson though...

Interesting device. Wonder where you would get the plastic material for the pick?

That is the going price at Guitar Center for a pack of 12 picks. Have a pack of picks always been more expensive than a pack of strings?

Well, reading all of this makes me anxious to get my copy - sounds like it will be an awesome read, can't wait to see some of the guitars that made it in the book! I imagine I will feel like a kid again, when I visited the guitar shops, seeing and learning about all the different cool guitars...

I just placed an order through Serial... looks like it will be a good read fa shizzle...

Serial, I am a little late to the party here, should I email you directly about purchasing the book?

Does EMG have any pickups that are voiced a bit darker/cleaner than the current ones in Explorer? It would be cool to have that one guitar dedicated to active pickups. Have you considered anything by, i.e., Bartolini or Seymour Duncan? +1 on anything Bartolini. Seriously hi fidelity pickups...

Congrats Baldy! Awesome build!!!

I think that would be an excellent idea to find out who the jerkfuck is who thought it might be funny to stir some shit up...

You have to wonder why someone would pull a stunt like that. I am glad Jol removed it and I hope you didn't suffer any negative repercussions as a result of that shit...
