The discontinued Talman line came up in this comm recently. I happened to have one (and someone requested a share), so I thought I'd show it off.
Went to the music store with my friend who really plays guitar about a decade ago. I was angling for something on a super low budget, but he convinced me to spring the couple extra hundred for this beaut. (Still a lower-end model, I know.)
I don't understand all the intricacies of what makes it stand out, but I know it's super comfortable to hold, looks great on the wall, and sounds great (aside from my playing ability ๐ ). Really glad I went with it.
looks good to me. i have a few that need similar treatment, whenever I can find time.
