or Ash or Alder

I agree with this. There's not enough of a departure for me...... basically it's the same recipe they have been working with on the Monaco series. Now, a bolt-on neck, 6 inline headstock, swamp ash body with the sustainblock and those new pickups. That would be sexy and very different for Hamer.

This is why I love Hamer. Jol talked me out of custom ordering a thinline tele this summer by telling me he had a model with most of my specs coming out (Kinar vs sustainblock) and I would save alot of money if I waited a few months. Princes among men.

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! <_<

Jol says this Hamer will do what a Tele will do and whole lot more???? I've been waiting years for him to say that!!!

I see one of these in my future...I just have that feeling......

Bah Humbug! I already HAVE a longscale TLE with a maple neck and one-piece top <_<

Yeah, but yours has that useless pickup in the bridge with a humbucker AND a single coil. Sheesh!

The Hamer site is now saying that the Retail/List is $3,100? Is that a typo? I thought it was listing at $3,800...

They have changed the price on their site now....

"Retail: $3,800"

I think it'll look good in plain ol' mahogany.

Does the Talladega remind anyone of the Tom Anderson Cobra?

Yes, there are more than a few companies that have similar shaped guitar. Anderson's Droptop T is 25.5" scale but does have a bolt on neck as mentioned. It debuted at least 15 years ago.

If the; Talladega "retails" at $3800, what will be the street price? About $2,000? I'm very curious about the sound of the new pickups, and what pickup combinations can be selected with the pickup selector.

Unlikely. I would say closer to $2500 to start. New models are rarely discounted that deep. $2000 would be almost $300 cheaper than a 40% discount. My guess would be that they would be around 30% for the first few months....give or take of course.

Soon to be had for $1500 on Ebay! :D
