And The Hallmark II... :)

Anyway, I have a question about the 60 Custom. How is the bending on it? I read you could bend on the frets without them fretting out.

Bending on the 60 Custom is a Breeze :!: :!: :!: Bigger than speed frets but not too big, just right :!: :ugeek:

Thanks Thunderhead, Also here's another question: How is a 60 Custom when fitted with E. F. Elliott Mosrite style pickups?

Don't know, mine was so right on out of the case I never considered it. The only thing I've done is to install a good Capacitor. .047 Oil Filled, gives it a way more usable tone control. When rolled off it sounds like a wha pedal half down. I don't use it that way but that will give you an Idea.

I know that my Mosrite pick ups sound great in my Hallmark 60 Custom. (Don't ask why I put them in the Hallmark.) It comes so close to the Mosrite it just isn't funny. If I get the time I will make a sound clip of the Hallmark with Mosrite pick ups in it.

Finally got the pic posting figured out. Here is my 60 Custom that Bob customized for me. Most of the stuff is obvious, one humbucker and a volume knob. What you can't see are my daughter's initials stamped discreetly into the fretboard. As I mentioned in my intro, working with Bob was awesome. I normally play a Les Paul standard and have always wanted a mosrite. Due to the price/controversy (I honestly don't know who to trust with these new model mosrites) I went with Hallmark.Bob did not let me down. Thanks Bob!

That is a super nice guitar - a little untraditional but cool anyway. I am THIS CLOSE to ordering a Hallmark Custon 60 in candy blue ink!
