lang Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 No idea what a reasonable price for a Tally is now, but in case anyone is looking! https://reverb.com/item/59659008-hamer-talladega-usa-2008-namm-show-with-cert-incredible-guitar
LucSulla Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 That's not awful. Without sales tax, it's damn close to what I would consider given what they've gone for lately.
WorstBandName Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 That's a nice-looking one! Pretty thick neck 95.-1.00 and nice weight too.
tweed Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 Oooh, I'm tempted. But I don't know about that V neck. Tried one of my nephews V neck guitars and that spine just didn't feel right. It wasn't a full size neck though, but to me, my Tally Pro feels just right. Still, this would be nice for a collectors type of buy.
lang Posted August 22, 2022 Author Posted August 22, 2022 I really like the top on this one. If I didn't already have a tally, I'd be pretty tempted!

tweed Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 That would be me! I put in an offer but didn't think they'd take it. Was doing some research on this after I put my bid in. I usually research something after it catches my eye and by the time I make up my mind it's gone. Missed out on some nice gear that way. Anyways, the thing I was worried about was the V shape neck. Maybe I'll get used to it, I'd hate to flip it just because of that. It's a nice lookin' piece of gear. I've got a Tally Pro, it'll be interesting to see how they differ.
Hamerica Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Congrats to the buyer and the seller. Hamerica
django49 Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 One of these days I need to make up my mind about my last Talladega. BUT I am not there yet. Old old picture...... Great guitars. Have fun with it.....

Hamerica The seller was not a member, was told he got it from the Music Emporium in Lexington Ma. But, upon my snoopin' around last night on this model, I found out it did once belong to an HFC member.

That was the one on The Gear Page that is now marked sold. Pretty sure the seller just forgot to remove the CL listing.

Curious how yours is chambered since mine has a different chamber than was done on the later Tally’s. I love the V carve on the neck. Top 3 necks of all time for me. I remember hearing that the Tally Pro has a slightly softer V but then some people have said they’re really similar. Looking forward to hearing your findings on how they compare.

What I actually still DO have is this one with "Ultimate Flame Maple" and neck binding (which I think was unusual) for Tallys. From the warehouse closeout at Willcutts when they had a pretty good stash of Hamers that had some custom features. But it is a keeper for the foreseeable future. 😉

But, of course I approve. I have the unbound neck version of your keeper. 😉
