The targe price is apr $800.00 to $850.00 including the case!
By the way, I have never exposed this before, but I guess I will now,I was the guitarist in one of the very first Ramone tribute bands called "The Remains" in the early 80's into the early 90's. We played east coast gigs mostly. We also had Marty Friedman ( my great friend and long time Megadeth lead guitarist) on bass when time permited. The Ramones had heard of us and when they officially broke up, Marky, Dee Dee and CJ borrowed our name as we had broken up by then. I read in a Hit Parade magazine Dee Dee saying they took the (Remains) name from us as they had heard we broke up and they thought the name was perfect for their new band. Unfortunately I don't think they ever recorded but I have seen a picture of them in a Ramones book with " The Remains" on Marky's bass drum head. I was honored to say the least! Hey, we just wanted to have something to do!

Good story, It must be quite something to have played with the guitarist from megadeth and have had the Ramones use your name! Oh and good price point too, What about the Sheena though? Same price?

Re: Hallmark II Road to Ruin model
Hey friends! I would like to address firstly the 59 Custom pricing: We are going to start these out at $1500.00 including a hardshell case. I am not attempting to be smart here but real. Anyone who thinks this is expensive, I would highly suggest taking the time to try to make one of these tailpieces alone. My guess is you would think after the fact that you spent 3 to 4 days grinding, drilling, filing, polishing, etc. that you were throwing the guitar in just about free. This is skilled and hard work. We are offerring this guitar mostly just because it is a truly unique thing to do. Just like on the Deke Dickerson models, the profit margin is exceedingly low but we feel we need to keep these in this price range or the average guy will not be able to afford one. So we truly believe this guitar is priced at a real dealeo! See more on this guitar in the next week on the Hallmark website.
Thanks for the tip on the live lp!
Best and thanks for listening and your interest! Bob

Re: Hallmark II Road to Ruin model
Looking forward to it, Bob ... that's in line with the DD model pricing, so I don't think you're out of range on it ... IMHO.
