gorch Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 If that's what you get for a forementioned figure and a two years wait. It's worth it!As soon as you have it the wait is forgotten. A guitar for a life time! It's got perfect mojo right from the beginning.Someone called dibs before? Dibs!
G Man Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Below is a pic of the back. Just waiting on the custom case...and string ferules.Fixed it for you.Looks great, really looking forward to the full monty shot.
devrock Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 "What is a ball park figure to get something like this built?"More than a year ago I emailed Jol that I liked the Tulsa (think Talladega Pro) posted at the homepage. He said that it would start at $5600 if built by the crew or whatever he calls the non-custom builders. Wonder where the price is today. Or at delivery. About a year ago I remarked that the gestation period of a blue whale is 450-590 days. This baby is coming in at 730 days, I reckon. Why is this taking so long?Coolfeel must have the patience of Job. This is definitely on Jol time.$5600???? Wow. I realize I'm talking out of my ass, but I can't fathom why any guitar is worth more than $4k or so. That just seems so extreme to me. But, of course, to each his own and that's my own opinion!
coolfeel Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Added a teaser pic of the top to the introduction post of this thread...
gorch Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Back and forth, forth and back. Whatever, it's incredible!!!
cynic Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 That's just perfect. It's been my hope that another ex-Hamer guy will be doing something VERY similar to this.
bubs_42 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I think the Finish on the Sustainblock makes it look Fricken COOL!
coolfeel Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Yes it is a satin finish all the way around. Jol was going for an aged patina vibe...
pirateflynn Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I thought so! I bet you can hardly wait. What's the latest ETA?
coolfeel Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Just waiting on the custom case at this point - he said they were running behind a bit on the production.
pirateflynn Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 My '08 Hamer custom order was sent to Elduave in an Ovation case with instructions to wait for the custom case before shipping it to me. I said, forget that! Send the damn thing right now and have Hamer ship the damn custom job straight to me! lol … and that's what Elduave did, bless his soul. I could NOT wait another week. I'm sure you know the feeling. Anyway, it looks like a beauty that you'll enjoy for a long time.
scottcald Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 That looks fabulous. I'd be in my car on the way there to get it. Please post some video so we can see and hear it.....I can't imagine the anticipation.
a.bandini Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Awesome! Congratulations on such a fantastic guitar.
Pieman Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 For some reason I thought this was going to be more like a Talladega Pro than a Talladega.Does Jol have a name for this model? The two pup model four-knob is called the Tulsa, I believe.It is unique, that's for sure. Congrats!
coolfeel Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 This model is simply the Tulsa. The idea with my guitar was to blend elements of the Talladega and the Talladega Pro, which he did (the pro's contoured neck heel). Jol picked the finish and all of the hardware and controls.
gorch Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I can just imagine how it sounds. Those P90s have a nice acoustic vibe in them. Does it have a Fender scale neck?
