NHD Talladega glory

[Camstone]

So I have been here 20 years and have been playing Hamers since '78. It's been a minute since I had an NHD.

Picked this up from Don yesterday on my drive down to Portland. Won't be home to plug it in till tomorrow night, but have been playing it in my hotel room, and this guitar is AWESOME!

Not too bad on the eyes either.

Thanks Don!

                                WOW! I think this is appropriate.

Congrats!  That one’s a beauty. Tally’s have one of my all time favorite necks although I know several people strongly disagree. 

And, yes. Welcome to the club!

And it sounds as good as it looks, IMHO. Good  that it is now in the hands of someone that will play it more than I could.

I think I am now down to 7 Hamers, only one of which I currently ponder selling......A couple of the others have longstanding dibs, in event I ever weaken. 😉

This isn’t my first Tally. I owned this exquisite quilt top and foolishly sold it years ago. Posted here how much I missed it and Don offered to hook me up.

Especially the bound neck is a big plus in my opinion. 
 

My “Irma” Tally also has a bound neck. 
 

Tallies are great!

Tallies are unbeaten. Congrats to a great score.

You win this week!

Congrats on that beauty, great score!  I really need to get myself a Tally one of these days and see what all the fuss is about.

I like the new one a lot more.

I have a line on one now and am trying to work a deal…

A friend played mine - fingerpicking.
