It was the 10th anniversary show of the Kilaueas in our hometown Stuttgart. Volker Kilauea, who left the band last year was also there and he played some tunes. When we had soundcheck, both sounded great - my Hallmark and my cij jazzmaster, which i have modded. I decided to play the hallmark and I didn't regret. I played the whole set with it. It was really fun playin the custom 60 and sound was great!

The day after, we had a gig in Bingen am Rhein with the Razorblades. It was a little bit strange, but during the soundcheck, I felt more comfortable with the jazzmaster, so at this evening the jazzmaster was my choice. I guess, it will be hard to decide, what guitar to play at the next show, but I'm happy to have this problem ;-).

New guy here. I just placed an order for a 60 Custom tri-burst. I have wanted a Mosrite style guitar ever since I was kid, listening to the Ventures...yeah, I'm old. :lol: Never got the opportunity to buy one. And now...I wouldn't do business with Ed Roman for any guitar.

I own quite a few guitars. Gibson, Fender, Ibanez and several Agiles..which by the way are great budget guitars, if you haven't heard of them. But, I really want a Mosrite style guitar.

I've been looking at clones for some time, now. Nothing ever seemed quite right. The Wilson's aren't shaped right and the hardwares all wrong. The Eastwood's...well their Eastwood's. Probably OK guitar, but they have the Jazzmaster type trems, also. The Dillon's didn't do it either.

Then, I came across the Hallmark 60 Custom. Bingo. As close to the real thing as I've seen. But, what about quality,sound and playability? That's where you guys came in. I found this site and read all I could about the Hallmark's. You guys convinced me to give it a try.See...now I can blame you. ;)

I'll give my opinion when I take delivery. It's still not a Mosrite...but whadda ya gonna do?

BTW, nice forum.

You won't be sorry! The Hallmark 60 Custom is as good a guitar as any company makes today. I have had mine for over a year now with no issues at all. I did change the pots to 500k to suit my taste but they sound great right out of the box so to speak.

Thanks, I would have liked to have gotten one of the MIJ Mosrites...but I can't traverse their websites. :(
