Johnny Ramone Signatue still available?

[Wicked Ramone]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on the forum and I'm very glad to be here. Last year I bought a JR Signature model from Hallmark guitars and I love it. It was my first guitar and is an absolute treat to play. However in recent months in seems that it has been removed from Bob's website. Does anyone know if it is still available? I read somewhere that it was but without the Johnny Ramone branding. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Perhaps give Bob a call or drop an email. I'm sure he'll respond.

Welcome to the forum! I've also got a JR signature that I absolutely love. I was wondering the same thing when I recently checked out the Hallmark website and didn't see the JR pages at all. I figured the duration of the agreement with Johnny's estate simply ran out.

I did notice the Hallmark YouTube channel recently uploaded a video of a band whose guitar player is playing what looks like a JR signature (I couldn't really make out details of the markings on the headstock), but in the description it states he's playing a Hallmark II. I think the only difference is the bridge/stopbar arrangement as opposed to the vibrato unit, but the Hallmark website doesn't show the bridge/stopbar as being available on the Hallmark II. May be something that is available upon request?

In any case, enjoy your Hallmark and welcome!

Hallmark does have the Johnny Ramone models in stock. The headstock has the classic Hallmark logo now as alot of guys did not want the JR logo on the actual guitar. You can e-mail me at hallmarkguitars@verizon.net if you would like one. They are $949.00 case included. Thanks!!
