YES! Magnus, you will not be disappointed! I have the Sheena & they're pretty much the same thing, except for color. My guitar is really great. It plays like butter & sounds awesome. You are making the right choice, my friend.

This is just a guess, so please correct me if I'm worng; but I think he was going for the Johnny Ramone kinda look.

[jtr654]

He'll grow out of it. Johnny also played a Mark 1 and they're just better guitars ( Custom 60 )for a $100.

Yes I was kind of looking for the ramones look, but I still want a good guitar... I think I still go for the road to ruin model

I really want to try a Hallmark but can't find any stores on their website. Does anyone know who sells them in Los Angeles area or how I could find a list of stores?

I tried an Eastwood once, A Hi Flyer model. It didn't sound like a Mosrite at all from my recollection, The only thing it had going for it when I played it was that the body shape was comfortable. On the other hand I keep hearing that Hallmarks are as close as you can get next to the reissues. But as of this writing I haven't played a Hallmark.

the eastwood hi-flyer is a copy of an univox hi-flyer. So basicly it's a copy of a copy. Hallmark makes copy of of mosrite model. Eastwood as with all of their products don't intent to make a 100% copy of things but more a modern interpretation of an classic model.

The hi-flyer for instance is based on the contours of a univox but has a setneck and a better bridge tuners etc. I have an Eastwood hiflyer bass (lefty and for sale ) and I did have about 2 or 3 unvox basses. Those univox are just a fraction of an eastwood. Over here in europe the univox don't have the status they seemed to have over in the states. I also have an eastwood map bas. It looks like a valco product but isn't a reissue at any means. I do think they make an marvelous quality for the price and the fact that lefty's are the same price then righty makes me like them even more.

But in your case I would definitaly go for a hallmark
