Jeeeezus, the Talladega on ebay

[polara]

Why is this not bought at this price?

[Feynman]

It's ugly?

[specialk]

Oh, man!

I don't think the corner convenience store keeps that much cash on hand, or I would buy it.

[BCR Greg]

With all the upcharges, the omission of body binding kills it for me.

[cynic]

It's ugly?

Whether he was joking or not, I'm with Fenyman. The lack of body-binding coupled with the crowns leaves it looking a little off balance to me. Not a big fan of quilt either.

Aside from how it plays/sounds, at that price it needs to bring the aesthetics too.

the omission of body binding

That's one of the things about this guitar that appeals to me.

[crunchee]

I know this has been mentioned before, but when was the last date for crowns, custom order or not? Not counting the recent reversal of custom order policy, of course.

Edited to add: I don't see anything about a certificate--shouldn't it have one?

[polara]

Well, it's not MY thing but if you dig quiltiness that's a fine price.

[doody]

The use of the word "Minty"?

Yep. Bound body with unbound neck is fine, but fully bound neck and headstock with an unbound body looks unfinished.

[Citrus]

I'll agree - its ugly

the quilted front and lack, and crowns, with no binding, reminds me more of a Carvin than a Hamer

[ArnieZ]

A lot of extra money went into that guitar, but cosmetically the end result is fail! No curb appeal for me.

I don't dig it but still a heck of a price so far. Back's of Guitars are wear surfaces and pretty wood don't belong there IMHO.

[elduave]

Kinda cool. My next Hamer will be completely unbound!

[eightyfour]

Back's of Guitars are wear surfaces and pretty wood don't belong there IMHO.

Yup!

[Disturber]

I would not say it's ugly. Just less nice than a Tally with body binding.

It reminds me of those Gary Moore Les Pauls without body binding, but those are ugly for real, this one still has appeal (to me).

I'll take it if no one wants it. Who wants to help me fund it (pm me for my paypal address)

[edgar_allan_poe]

Ugly, but huge bang for the buck considering all of the options. That being said, there is an awful lot of maple in that guitar. I don't care what anyone says, every guitar I have ever tried with that much maple has *not* sounded good.

[LittleC]

Not my style astheticaly and sonically.

I went for the TalPro. Love mine!!!

However, not a bad price . . .

[BubbaVO]

I've never seen a pizza-burst finish before.
