Travis! How's it going, man? We miss you.

Thanks, man. Been crazy busy with the new job so I haven't been around much. I sensed a Tally thread on the board so I had to chime in... :lol:

Weekend motivation post as well as to support the recent BT Tally offer.

The other week I took new photos. I don't know it has been posted yet.

i saw this thread pop back up to the top... i had posted earlier... but realized i never came back to show the finished product (though i have posted it in other threads).

what a great guitar... i've had a LOT of fun with it... though it did take me a while to find the right pickup height that worked for me... once i got it dialed in it's simply been a blast to play!

every time i pick this guitar up to play it... i always think "wow... i love this thing".

Wow - stunning !

thank you sir!

...another cool thing... see that really black fingerboard? that's not ebony... i asked for really dark brazilian with no streaks and consistent grain. when i first saw a picture of it i thought they had screwed up and used ebony (in fact in one of their workshop blog posts they referred to it as ebony... so i emailed them just to make sure)... but still... i was amazed when i saw it for the first time up close! it's totally black brazilian... simply gorgeous.

That's off the charts---certainly a masterpiece--- sick inlay material quality----

Well I'm certainly appreciating this one as apart from the looks the build quality is superior to any guitar I have owned. That list includes Tom Anderson, Gretsch Pro, Custom Shop Fender and Gibson. OK she is a special/custom order with no binding on the body, quilt maple capped front and back. I didn't order it or get it new, long story but I did a straight trade with a 2007 Gibson LP Standard for it.

Heck let the photo's do the talking :)

I'm REALLY appreciating the Pro i snagged a little while back. Could be the scale> crazy articulation, dual vols, or the "percolating" tone ??????

Aren't these nice guitars? :)

Effe you all, mothereffers! :) My TalladeGAS is reaching critical levels because of you all. Sadly, another active deal voids me from acting, but I want YOU to feel my pain! :P

TalladeGAS

That's awesome!

I was in Guitar Center last month getting strings and was just looking at some of the guitars in their "high-end" room and the build quality of most of it seemed sloppy with no attention to detail compared to Hamers. When I open any Hamer case, I'm always delighted and feel like I own some of the best production guitars ever made. Beyond the quality, just the different types of guitars Hamer came out with are innovative and unique: Talladegas, DuoTones, Newports, etc. Not that I own any, I also like the custom short run (1-30 kinda thing) such as the EM series stuff, Anniversary, etc.

Guys, to be honest: I HATE you. All of you...

:-)

Just kidding... Raising that (last, I guess) GAS to news heights...

Dunno if you can play. But you can play if you can.

Edited,to add: this brings me to the theme to take the Talladega out today if I can.

Shhhhhnickies!

That's a cool setup Deandino - super badass guitars and amps.
