My new Hallmark 60 Custom

Postby Les Fradkin » Sun Sep 13, 2015 5:48 pm

Well here's my review. I just played this axe at my latest show in California. The sound wipes the floor with a Mosrite. It's got a bullish bridge pickup sound- aggressive with plenty of Midrange but also smooth treble. Did the whole show with this. The sound is so there. The feel- similar to a vintage Ventures Mosrite. The term is very stable as well.

Is this your first post? Please make a post in the Introduction section of the forum. Welcome, BTW. And thanks, maybe I'll have a Hallmark guitar some day.

I understand the Hallmarks also have a wider neck than a Mosrite which I think is a major plus. I know you have endorsed the Wilson Brothers guitars in the past. Is the Hallmark going to take over?

Well, the Hallmark is an outstanding guitar for my music. I suspect it will loom large in my sound.

Hi Les! Welcome to the forum, nice to see you here! It is so nice to have Les a super picker aboard with the Hallmark 60 Custom! I will be in touch with you when I return back in town Les to check in.

Surfs up Les!
