Pieman Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 For Sale $2900 Pay Family Family /Friends Includes shipping to lower 48 Firm price. Fairly priced. No trades. A number of years ago in between Christmas and New Year's, I was in the office and on a whim I emailed Jon Herrington about the availability of his Talladega Pro. His assistant emailed me back within minutes and we did the deal that afternoon. A unique guitar. A stellar guitar. See the 2009 Hamer Blog stories below that chronicle its design and construction. See Feb 6, March 25, April 22, May 19 and May 29 https://www.buddlejagarden.co.uk/hamerblog/bljan09.htm The blog describes it perfectly. Iced-T satin finish. Oxblood back and neck. Fralin UnBuckers. One master volume, and the two tone pots are coil-tapping/split. The pot at the rear is a dummy. See photo for wiring. OHSC. No COA. Was told his office was flooded and the COA was lost. The Hamer Blog is second best. Jol told me it was one of his favorite builds. Condition is realty very good for a toured guitar. A couple minor dents here and there. If you are serious I can shoot some more photos on my phone or point out the dings in these photos (assuming this Photobucket link opens. Just gone over by a good guitar tech. Leveled and polished the frets. Set intonation and neck relief. Plays very well. If you have question about neck and neck measurements, you'll have to rely on the article and not measurements from my caliper. https://app.photobucket.com/u/Pieman_101/a/1f7c4080-b347-458e-acd1-e76deecbd509 I hope this link works. or this one? https://app.photobucket.com/u/Pieman_101/a/1f7c4080-b347-458e-acd1-e76deecbd509?field=DATE&desc=asc There are tons of videos that show this guitar being played. Google Herrington and Hamer Talladega. Or YouTube Herrington and Iridium. See below. I could ask more for this and wait for somebody to bite. But, honestly, this is priced right and - I might point out - less than a used Master Built Strat. And it should stay in the HFC family. Talladegas are rare. T Pros more so. This is the real deal. Enjoy these videos, even if you aren't interested in buying.
ARM OF HAMER Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 "There are tons of videos that show this guitar being played" Yes there are and here is one of them.
Pieman Posted September 18, 2023 Author Posted September 18, 2023 Sorry. Will ship only to US address. Local pickup in northeast Ohio would be okay.
donner Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Why don't we have a „Wow I mean really WOW!“-button?
Pieman Posted September 18, 2023 Author Posted September 18, 2023 Are the photo links working? Thanks
donner Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Nor for me. Both are simply leading to the photobucket mainpage.

Thanks It's prompting me to install Photobucket... which I won't do... is there another way?.. "add files" from your Photo gallery?.. I'm really not interested but speaking for others 👍

Pieman Posted September 18, 2023 Author Posted September 18, 2023 Danke vielmals fur Ihre Hilfe! BTW, I saw John Mayall and the Groundhogs in concert in Munich in September 1971. I think the venue was an old-time circus theater. Would you happen to know the name of the place? Those were the days.
donner Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Lieber Herr Piemann, that must have been Circus Krone building, a solidly built wintering grounds for traditional, family owned Munich Circus Krone. This venue has hosted many groundbreaking concerts in Muncih and still does, from time to time. The first Beatles tour concert took place there, first Rolling Stones concerts in Germany in 1965, too. Lately, Bob Dylan played there, a lot of German comedy acts, and, unfortunately, more strange things like „Nino de Angelo Live with his Band“ or „90ies Megaparty“ are taking place, too. Please, don't google these! Here you can watch a 10 min documentaion about Beatlemania in Circus Krone from local TV. https://br.de/s/2K6jwTm Here are The Beatles in 1966. This had a similar impact over here as the legendary Ed Sullivan Beatles-Show had for the rest of the (musical) world 😉
Pieman Posted September 18, 2023 Author Posted September 18, 2023 Sorry. Will ship only to a US address. Local pickup in northeast Ohio would be okay. Too much risk of damage. I hold my breath even when I ship to Wisconsin or Chicago or Texas. This guitar is too nice to toy with shipping issues. Also I don't want the hassle of customs, etc.
Pieman Posted September 20, 2023 Author Posted September 20, 2023 Looks like we have a buyer. Working out delivery. Thanks
gorch Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 I remember the building story of the guitar and video footage right after. A dream guitar for sure.
