That's great Bob, that guy can really play too.

So looking at it in the vid....what are the differences between the 65C and the 60C? It looks like the 65 has a bolt-on neck and no body binding. Is that all? Anything else?

Thanks guys!

Yes R.J. is a great player. He is going out on tour with Thompson Square this year. We wish him well.

The difference between the 60 and 65 Custom is exactly that. No body binding, and a clear maple bolt on neck. All of the woods, hardware, electronics are the same as the 60C. We can alter the pickups to whatever you would like. R.J. is using our stock pickups with tortoise shell covers. We also have the Fat Pig pickup for a more treble sounding guitar as well as high volume shredding. We have our new Hallmark humbucking pickups as well. And as always we offer our hand wound pickups with a variety of vintage magnets we have in stock too depending on the sound you are looking for.

I will be walking the floor at NAMM this week, I hope to see some of you there!

Best, Bob

I could go to NAMM for free from work.
I'm temped to charge the flight and hotel to come meet you.
Or even more tempted to charge a white 65 with a black pickguard loaded with fat pigs!
Gassin' Hard!

Ooooooh interesting. Can these new Hallbuckers be split into a single? What are the specs? I might be interested in one of those if it's not too hot.

Marky, I would love to see you in the flesh my friend. Yes one day I want to see that Hallmark tattoo in person! Hmmm trip or new guitar? I would come to NAMM only if you want to see a bunch of gear. It amazes me how little NAMM changes over the years. alot of the same old stuff to my eyes.

Greg, the Hallbucker is the same resistance as the 60C pickup. 13K and yes they are wired for split coil so you can get some twang too. It is a direct fit in the 60C. And I can use Fat Pig magnets as well if you so desire.

Best, Bob
