Yes, we can finish these guitars in any color you wish for an upcharge depending on what you want. We do this regularly for guys who want what they want. Seafoam green? No problem at all. Inquire for price.

Thank you!

Yeah, we're on a beach vacation at Emerald Isle, NC, and they are expecting Irene to hit in this vicinity late Saturday, last I heard.

We got a robocall from the local sheriff's office on the cottage phone yesterday saying to start preparations and to stay informed of the weather and we saw a couple of national guard medical trucks going down the road.

So be careful, Dennis! I've seen a bunch of hurricanes, as I'm sure you have, and while most of them don't amount to much, every now and then one will kick the doors in.

Irene, sounds like a good name for a song. Good song, bad girl. Hope everything is alright.

"Irene" is the name of a song! :D

Performed by one of my favorite bands, too! Looks like that bad girl will flirt with us here on the FL east coast with some inclement weather...we'll see how badly.

Chevy turquoise???? Gotta post pics when it's done!

Yes I should have the Chevy two tone finished next week. I will post it for sure, we can use this paint theme with 60 Customs or any of our guitar models as well.

Hi Bob!

You mentioned in another thread that there was going to be some new Hallmark basses. Any more news?

Yes, the basses were covered in another thread but in a nutshell we are currently experimenting with ideas. The basses will ready for the winter season. We will be photographing the prototypes as well as other new model guitars and update our website soon.

Hope this helps, and thank you for your interest,

Bob

Great looking guitars! I may have missed it, but are the neck scale, fret size, and fingerboard radius the same as the Custom 60s?

Cheers!

Yes the neck scale length, radius and fret size is the exact same as the 60C. It does have a slightly different tone than the 60C. The pickups are smaller and slightly less windings. At NAMM, we have some guys liking the 60C better and some guys liking the II's tone better. The guitars are the same quality.
