Re: Hallmark 60's Custom
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

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

Re: Hallmark 60's Custom
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.

Re: Hallmark 60's Custom
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.

Re: Hallmark 60's Custom
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!

Re: Hallmark 60's Custom
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!
