Re: Hallmark 60s Custom
Welcome miamimike, yep I'm one of 'em! ...just recently bought mine and still very content. Never had or played a Mosrite so I can't compare but there are some obvious diffs. -slightly wider neck and frets a bit higher (hence "custom" I guess) which suites me just fine.
You'll find a ton of Hallmark info here...check the topic here also:

I have a 60 Custom and a Mosrite(parts-rite) that I put together with Factory Mosrite parts as has a few others here.
I posted a sound clip of both the Hallmark and Mosrite using the same settings on the same amp(65 Twin Custom 15) and switched from front to both to rear pickups. Here is topic I posted.

Give it a listen and you can hear the difference in the sound of both.

PS........ I did change the pots in the Hallmark to 500K from the 250K that it came with.
