Joe Hall's history with Mosrite

[dubtrub]

Although he went on to produce his own line of Hallmark guitars, Joe Hall's beginning's were tied directly to Semie and Mosrite guitar's.

[Haole Jim]

So the Hallmark 60s Customs are sort of legitimate blood-relatives to Semie guitars....?

[Veenture]

Obviously Semie could never have touched each and every Mosrite but those coming from his factory or authorised by him is considered a real Mosrite. Joe Hall co designed and was on the Mosrite team with Bill Gruggett also and later Hallmark Guitars were formed...so...legitimate? ...I reckon so

While we're on Hallmark, a sudden thought came to me but I'll start a new thread for that. (hint: "bass")

Thanks again dubtrub, great info
