John E Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I need another guitar slightly less than I need a hole in the head, but this is easy on the eyes. Shoulda done that neck joint on the Monaco. Nice!
Willie G. Moseley Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 The body may be Tele-centric, but considering the top and finish on this one, has anybody noticed how much a Talladega looks like a Peavey Odyssey, of all things (and I think the Odyssey is an excellent instrument but the neck's too beefy for me)?
seeker Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 That is quite easy on the eyes. WillCs. also takes great photos; second only to our own Greggles imho.Don't you mean more than you need a hole in your head? Or are you expecting some cranial cavity action soon?
KH Guitar Freak Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Now just make that a double cutaway, and maybe another kind of bridge, humbuckers, and I'll be set...

phoenix Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Seems like a great deal too!PSA: Jol has his favorite new model "In years" in the final approval stage and about to be released: I can't wait to see what it is.
Zoner Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I, too, saw the Peavey in it right away. Not very much different at all if you ask me, and the Peavey is a superb guitar that was maybe both a little ahead of its time and cursed by the fact that it said "Peavey" on the HS. Z
BCR Greg Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Hamer isn't the most original company in history, but that's not the appeal. The big difference with Hamer is the quality of materials and the very high degree of execution. The woodshop guys are the ones that deserve the praise, as they are the ones that DIRECTLY affect how we enjoy these guitars. The styling of the Tally can argualby be compared to the Peavey, the Huber Dolphin, Gustavsson, and many others. At least it's in good company!

belgian Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I am not so fond of how the Talladega looks, but I love the way it plays, it's the easiest player I have. And the sound of those new Double D's is just what I was looking for in a P-90 style guitar. And due to the chambers it's also the loudest to play unplugged (louder than my Newports). Since 4 weeks it's the only guitar I am playing...
