Nice group of guitars!

So, how would you say the MIJ Mosrite sounds compared to the Hallmark? Are they similar? What about the neck shape? I'm curious how close to a real Mosrite the MIJs are.

Very nice collection. Noticed your poster on the wall. I am a big Everly Brothers fan too!

Thanks, guys! I love the MIJ Mosrite ... put a lot of love into that one, so it's about my favorite. The pups are extremely hot (I recently shielded all the cavities to quiet it down a bit), the neck and frets are super fast (I don't have Hendrix' piano fingers, so the smaller neck for me is a plus). I play across the spectrum of musical styles - country, finger-pickin', old time R&R, some finger style jazz - and tonally, this thing can cover it all.
As to how it compares to the Hallmark? If it came down to the 2 - I'd have to give up the Hallmark ... although it also is one of those very "playable" guitars, and extremely well made for the price. I just suffer from GAS ... guitar acquisition syndrome.
