Not only do I NOT need to see the seller's feet, it makes me wonder what else he's overlooked if he can't even be bothered to edit out his gross toes from the photos.

Travis Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Ok, so the MonEl is out by virtue of the seller’s feet. The Tally Pro GT is tits. But I’ll tell you what, if I could find a beater Eclipse for under a grand and convert it to P90’s, that might be something… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django49 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 A goldtop Tally Pro would fit in well here. Well, in a different time..... It appears the same person (New Hampshire) also has a real beauty of a SuperPro. That is, if you happen to like great quilt tops. https://nh.craigslist.org/msg/d/weare-hamer-monaco-superpro-custom/7511831169.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topekatj Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Taking a closer look at the Talladega— the back is finished *red*? Seems like an odd pairing with the gold top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lang Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I'd love to have a Tally Pro, but not going near this. Must be the toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Talledegas very well. Seems pretty nice. FWIW, one of my Talladega Pros (all 3 now gone, sorry) came to me with a non-stock intonable tailpiece (and non stock Lollar Imperial pickups. The original owner did that "to get a Collings at a lower price point". I actually liked it better with the stock tail, but (IMO) the Lollar pickups were better than the stock Duncans.

I'll hold my breath waiting for @django49to put his gold superpro up for sale instead. Prepare for a long wait. That is probably the last Hamer I will ever cut loose. It also, BTW, has the original custom order Lollar Imperials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Tally Pro’s I’ve seen have had a different wraptail bridge than what is on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I keep coming back to that Tally Pro. Not only is it the first gold top I’ve seen in that model, it’s the only Pro I’ve seen with dot inlays. Not even a 12th fret Victory like the Tally amateur. Now I’m wondering if anyone ever ordered a Talladega with crowns…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, there are only 2 others so equipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a features standpoint, I prefer the single V/T of the Tally amateur but the aesthetics of the wraptail on the Pro. If only Hamer had made an Earthen Talladega with a wraptail, I’m pretty sure that would be my holy grail… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
