that's a hoodie I got from work, and our colour is green. We usually do black and green but this time it was all green. I work in Online Poker and we organize tournaments in Europe so we produce merchandise like hats, cards, chips, hoodies...I don't wear it much outside but wear it indoors and noticed it goes great with that guitar, in fact, everyone has made that exact comment
It does go great with a lot of colour. A friend of mine, who is not a guitar player, but can appreciate guitars, commented that's it's a real looker, a show guitar, and I guess it is, but that's not to say that's what it was made for, I don't consider it a show guitar, because I play it more than looking at it. It's just a combination of that Mosrite Shape and that super cool colour, I was tossing between Sunset and Fire Sparkle and I'm happy with this, a green guitar, while the fire sparkle looks cool, it reminded me of a clownburst Greco I had once...So I was very happy with the colour.A note about strings, I broke the high e on the first day by pressing way too low on the bar and it kinked the string and it unwrapped from the ball end, this is not defect, it is the way it is made and not meant to go that low too often, there are other strings that can prevent that or you can put a bit of solder on the string to make it stronger. I figured I wouldn't break another string by doing that so I just decided to go out and buy a pair of my normal brand, Ernie Ball 10s, even though I usually play 11's and I wanted to keep it at least in the stock gauge for a while, it could be me, but to me it sounded a bit better with those strings and since then, no breaks, and I've been using the vibrato a lot, and it stays in tune very good, considering I use that bar that much.
I've got the Jaguar, that's got a C neck, a Les Paul with a 60s neck, a short scale parlour guitar with a wide V neck, and a Yamaha acoustic with a thin neck, but not as thin as the Hallmark, and to be honest, the only real difference I feel is when picking up the parlour V neck, the Hallmark's neck is on the thin side but it feels good in my smallish hands, and is very fast.
You can put me in the group that really likes this guitar, and would recommend it. If you're interested in a Mosrite, makes sense to try one of these, I couldn't do that, so I went on the forums to gather as much info as I could, and in all those pages, and all those threads, there was very little negative comments, for me, it just made sense as the closest I could get was buying a used Kurukomo Excellent 65, used, gigged, chipped, and 1000 pounds. Compared to that, the Hallmark was about 30% cheaper, brand new and in that colour, now if I can finally see if I like this style of guitar and if I'd like a Mosrite, I wouldn't really consider paying more than 1000 pounds for a guitar, since I have so many, so to me, it was a great choice!
princeton will be mine!
