That is a beautiful guitar. Life don't get no better than that.

I haven't played a Hallmark from Bob Shade but I have used his parts in the construction of my project guitars and have to say they are top notch. Have a look here. Scroll down to the bottom for the finished project.



Wow, that's some impressive work. The neck on that is gorgeous.

I have read that they do Custom Orders (how specific, I'm not sure),
and yes, HALLMARK does make a Mosrite Style Humbucker as well :mrgreen: .

You might want to PM 'Mosriteforever' for he can give you better and more
accurate info on any questions you might have about the HALLMARK ;) .......

Got my pearl white w/ white pickguard last November and love it. My only grievance is that it doesn't stay in tune so well, and I rarely touch the vibrato. Might have to replace those tuners with the Grover vintage style.

poptones,
There's a Thread on what to check in case your guitar does not stay in tune, everything from
"What are the correct amount of windings around the tuning post" when restringing, to the
correct spring to use for the Trem System depending on what gauge strings you are using,
and just about everything else in between..... :mrgreen:
