Someone's Opinion of Hallmark JR Guitar + Ed Roman Response

[GTSP]

I just can't look at those pictures. They're just so ... wrong.

Especially the Hammer one. I read he traded that guitar for a Mosrite.

[mosman]

Well he certainly got the better end of that deal.

Oh, I find the Hammer photo the least offensive of them all.

I remember when the Ramones first toured Australia in 1980 and I saw them performing on one of our music programmes with Johnny using a white Hamer. I knew it wasn't his regular guitar and I was always fascinated by his Mosrite - even though I didn't know what it was - but I was definitely disappointed to see him with a Hamer.

I honestly feel bad for kids these days that never got to see the Ramones. I still go to many punk rock shows. We have a great scene still in Tampa. Nothing like it was in the 80's, but still good. I'll see kids with their shirt on, or a Clash shirt. I like seeing that, but feel bad cuz they never experienced the Ramones.

I wonder if teachers felt bad for kids my age when I was in high school b/c they never saw the Doors or Zeplin?

By the way, May 7th at the Dunedin Brewery is the 7th annual Ramones tribute. They've sctioned off the whole parking lot, so it's gonna be huge this year. 7 bands & 2 solo guys. Bands inside & solo guys in the parking lot under the tent. I'm one of the two solo guys. Show up if you can. I'll definitely post alot of pics & videos.

Any Mosrite or clone will be documented.

that hamer was actually a signature model for Johnny Ramone. by the way, Johnny also used a martin acoustic as well....but I do agree he looks odd without a mosrite

I have already emailed Bob about all the "haters" out there. Some people need that constant attention and become stubborn whenever their spotlight gets taken. I have talked to Ed on the phone about buying the Mark II bass. He started swearing at me and tried forcing me to buy it. It was like dealing with the worst car salesman ever x 10. Good guitars are good guitars, and everybody's opinion. Yeah real mosrites are sick as F$%# so why not pay tribute? Make improvements, and more affordable. I doubt any of the Ramones had 4 G's to blow on a guitar (what did johnny pay $30?). I've had a few shots of Salor Jerry so I better stop. I hope Bob, and all of you (which I am sure) knows he doesn't need to waste his breath on this.
And yeah those pics of johnny holding anything other than a Mosrite feels like yer girl cheating. By the way, tonight my band is doing our photo shoot for our version of "Halfway to Sanity" I'll post a link to the bandcamp once it's official. Daniel Ray, CJ, Arturo, and Marky can't wait to hear it themselves! I used my custom made Hallmark for the recordings. Pics of that up soon too. Hail Hallmark.

Hey Marky!

Thank you for your enthusiasm for what we do here at Hallmark, and please keep me updated on the "Halfway To Sanity" project. It sounds great.

actually Limbaughs show is fact checked at 98 percent accurate, Romans show , probably not 98 percent.Its a shame that people have to behave in this manner. If that guy wants a guitar like jonnies, he should stop buying dope and save enough money to get what he wants .
