Hamer Talladega! New Model Drops Soon...

[hardheartedbill]

it'll come at you like a spidermonkey!

[marcnorth]

Looks like a Monaco with a few different twists.

But it is cool looking.

[cmatthes]

That body is like a grown-up TLE...

Can't wait to check that out.

I see these models coming sometime.

1. with "f" hole

2. with Bigsby

3. with 3 P-90's

4. with 24 3/4" scale

5. Made with all Korina (will all the above versions)

6. Duotone version

Holy Sh!t!! first the Newport 90 and now this! I like that body style much more than the Monaco. I do think it's strange that the headstock is bound and not the neck though?!?

the demon code prevents me from declining a rawk off...

[Guest pirateflynn]

I could see HHB playing one of those.

That seems about right. I was afraid they would pull a Special K and want 5K for it. IMHO that is a very reasonable price for that model. I also dig the fact that it is 25.5 scale.

GREAT JOB HAMER!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest Meshuggah]

All it needs is a wrap tail, HBs, a belly cut and we're good to go!

[Jeff R]

So I take it this model will debut at winter NAMM and hit stores shortly thereafter?

Just when I thought I was done ordering guitars.

This is where I eat my words.

I think it would look great in trans black

You'll be happy to know that by the twelfth fret the V inlays almost look centered.

I'd like to see more pictures. So far, it doesn't look like enough of a departure to be considered a seperate model. It's cool but it looks kinda like a Monaco. Doesn't it?

Not really. Upper horn is kinda Huber-like, lower horn appears to be that of a Watson. And shelfless too!

But I agree, I'd like to see a straight on shot.

Nope - I think that is WAY more Tele-like than Monacoesque.

One "thousand pound Tele", coming up!

You're probably right. Let's see more pics!

[sw686blue]

Definitely more Tele than Monaco. How cool would it be with a pointy headstock!

Very badassed imo.

[elduave]

Spoke with Jol real quick. He says some are going out to artists and they should start shipping for dealers after the 1st of the year. There should be a video on the Hamer site soon, similar to that Jol/Seymour clip. The Talladega has been in the works for about a year. Finally, Jol says it will do "what a Tele will do and a whole lot more". Can't wait!

[doody]

I want a greenburst one with a standard tele control layout and buckers.

[Sentinel]

This is REALLY cool news!

AND I heard that the new Hamer 2007 Catalog is being released in January... I can't wait!!!
