Michael_B Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I may have found someone interested in selling me his Tally Pro. I was surprised to see that it had dot inlays, instead of Victory inlays. Does that suggest that it may be spec'd differently in other ways, too?
coolfeel Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Possibly - if he has it, a COA might tell you any custom features. He, or anyone who owned it before him, may have modded it some as well. Any pics you care to share?
django49 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Nothing is impossible. I would look for good pictures and, preferably, the COA outlining all the particulars.....I assume there would be one based upon when they were built.My first suspicion would be someone modified a different model. But say that not having seen a picture.A reputable seller is a plus. It is not unheard of to post a picture of a different guitar. Naturally IF you can see it in person, that is good.
atquinn Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 ...My first suspicion would be someone modified a different model...Someone would only do that with a guitar that would worth something, which Hamers aren't in the scheme of things :loL;It's probably just a Tally Pro that was ordered with dots. Remember, everything was a custom order for a long while before Hamer closed, so if you were going to place an order, you might as well get exactly what you wanted since you were going to have to wait anyway. And in that sense, anything that is a fairly recent Hamer could have various modifications from a "stock order" to it.-Austin
Bobby Marshall Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I thought I read that the very first pros did not have victory inlays.If you decide not to grab this one, pass along the 411 please.
Bobby Marshall Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Yep. That is the early pro inlays. One victory at 12th fret, just like a non pro it seems.You going for it?
Michael_B Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Probably. If I bail on it, I'll definitely let you know.
coolfeel Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I actually like that look better than all Victory inlays...
cynic Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I actually like that look better than all Victory inlays... Same here. Inlays suck tone
atquinn Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Dot inlays? Fine.No neck binding? Aw hell no!-Austin
Michael_B Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 Judging from the pics, it looks as though it does.Is that something that was changed on later models?
Pieman Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Looks like cream binding with white rings. ???Do you have other photos?
Pieman Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 and now on ebayhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Hamer-Talladega-Electric-Guitar-/171435645731?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123
Michael_B Posted August 27, 2014 Author Posted August 27, 2014 No new pics. The pick-up mounting rings are a very light cream color. Not sure if they were originally that color, if they're an aged white or whether they're after-market.
murkat Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 those are stock rings.flash and lighting are messing with your head, view of.Sound check usually don't mess with the gear (mod), just service, and maintain.
