Drendino Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Edited to say: Sold to Roshark. Glad it stayed in the family and a great guy to boot! Guys, I've got to break up the kids. I'm selling my Earthen Maple Studio #20 with OHSC and COA. Near mint condition with a solid 9.5 out of 10. I can't find any blemishes but am still calling it near mint since its not new. I would like to sell with the Lollar Low Wind Imperial HBs in place and of course I will include the stock SDs. I would like to clear $2,650, which I think is a good deal. I would consider putting in the stock Duncans and excluding the Lollars to get the price down to $2,300. However, the LW Lollars sound fantastic in this guitar and I strongly urge keeping them in there. The Brazilian board is delicious and it plays like, well, like a Hamer. Here is some reading material. http://web.archive.o...e-earth-an.html http://web.archive.o...r-to-earth.html http://web.archive.o...en-delight.html http://web.archive.o...hly-bodies.html http://web.archive.o...he-earthen.html http://web.archive.o...ing-the-ea.html http://web.archive.o...of-pickups.html http://web.archive.o...en-maple-s.html http://web.archive.o...ous-guitar.html http://web.archive.o...en-tally-g.html http://web.archive.o...dega-earth.html http://web.archive.o...t-time-for.html http://web.archive.o...rsting-the.html http://web.archive.o...en-tallade.html http://web.archive.o...-photos-ea.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Shame to break up "the set". Both the EM models are great, IMO. I (personally) like the Studio a bit more than the Tally version. Something about that korina, I suppose. And being chambered.My own has upgraded pickups that are a bit hotter than your LWs, but the upgrade over stock pups has to be an improvement.One of the more desirable Hamers, IMHO.GLWS!

veatch Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The EM Studios kick arse. I have #10, and it gets pretty regular gig-time.Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about that korina, I suppose. And being chambered.Thanks. I totally agree about the EM Studio, and not just because I am selling it. Something has to go and I'm a Fender guy at heart. Last time I tried to sell the Studio I made the mistake of playing it before I listed it. This time I'm not touching it. The Lollars transformed it into a great instrument. I played a Newport with the Seths and it sounded good. Not so much in the Studio IMHO. I don't know about you, but the BRW board on my Studio is darker and tighter than my Tally. Just looks and feels like a superior grade piece of wood and is one of the ingredients to what makes the instrument great. You can kind of see the difference in the pics above. Ugh, eye on the prize, must sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Tally and a Tally Pro - I was under the impression they are both 25.5 scale guitars. Is it just the EM Tally that isn't a true Fender scale?Here are the Tally specs as stated on the Hamer site:Body: Ivoroid Bound MahoganyTop: Curly MapleTop Configuration: Arched ChamberedNeck: MapleFingerboard: RosewoodBridge: Hamer Sustain BlockScale Length: 25 1/2"Fingerboard Radius: 14"Fret Material & Dimensions: Hamer Wide Oval: .100" x .050"Body Lgth/Wdth/Thcknss: 16.6" x 13.4" x 1.85"Neck Shape / Thickness: V Shape, .950" - 1.0"Inlays: Dot, 1 VictoryNeck Joint: Dovetail Neck Pickup: Double D, Custom Single Bridge Pickup: Double D, Custom Single Electronics: 1 Vol, 1 Tone, 4-Way Blade Tuners: TonePros Keystone Headstock Overlay: Ebony Nut Type/Width: Bone, 1.650" Case: GC4-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should have said feel because of the 14" radius and use of HBs. One thing about that spec sheet is that I have a hard time believing that it is .95 at the nut. Does not feel huge and I have played soft Vs that are smaller at the nut and feel bigger than the Tally. I'm going to have to measure one of these days.
