moozak Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Hello all, I'm sure most of you know the story... I am the original owner that spec'd out and purchased the so-called "Nightfire" Talladega. Long story short: I had it for several years, but just never wound up using it, so I sold it to KofSeattle. Some time later, he decided to sell it so I bought it back. Now, I'm in the exact same boat... It's a beautiful guitar but I simply never use it for anything... it just sits in the case in the closet. With that... I'm going to let it go again. As before, I simply do not play it and I could use the money for something that I actually would play... so she needs a good home. I don't think I need to go into a lot of detail because most here know what this guitar is. It's in EXCELLENT condition... original case (which was also originally custom ordered for the guitar), original certificate, original shipping box. I will ship fully insured for 5k. Same price as I sold it before and same price as I purchased it from Ken (Note: some pics are also from Ken... I'm sure he wouldn't mind, but if you do just let me know and I'll use others) $5000 Shipped ($5145 if PP used)... ContUSA Only... No Trades

Pieman Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 What was the asking price? I have a near-mint Talladega Pro in "root beer" with Lollar Imperials. These are so rare, it is hard to figure out the value. Thanks

It's actually a shame what happened to KofSeattle and eventually let him to the sale of his Hamer beauties. I mailed with him before Christmas. The story he told me was devastating. I from my heart hope we get to hear from him again. Anyone from the Seattle area would be able to visit him and send good HFC vibes?

Pieman Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 here's a link to the Tiger Eye "Root Beer Talladega Pro" The photos are quick cell phone snaps. The other Talladega Pro id the Jon Herrington Talladega Pro http://s384.photobucket.com/user/Pieman_101/library/?sort=3&page=1
django49 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 As best I know, there were FOUR done in the (more or less) "ultimate" fashion, two Talladegas and two Talladega Pros. Three of the four in the "Tigers Eye" finish, the other (above) in red. I never regret any opportunity to pull out a few shots of the 3rd and 4th one.....To me, that pair WAS the "Holy Grail".

These are so rare, it is hard to figure out the value. Thanks Start with the fact that Hamer only crafted somewhere around 40 Pro's total - maybe less. Factor in your one-off or limited finishes and I think your value goes up another notch. IMHO - Tiger eye would certainly qualify. Don - Am I remembering these build numbers correctly? Please correct me if I'm off on these?

Pieman Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 That's what happened. They built those Talladegas and the Hamer movie was over.

And I still thank you for that. Great Guitars!
