chunners,I just love that. I played that kind of music for over 45 years and sure do miss playing. I also have a Hallmark 60 Custom from the first run and after changing the pots to 500k just love it. My brother has a 59 model and he offered it to me for what he paid for it but not playing at this time and having 8 guitars already my wife wasn't to keen on that. Again love your music and love that pic. of the band.

Re: Hallmark Owner's Corner!
Thanks jim...considering the history of Hallmark and Mosrite it's a great tool for a band that is heavily influenced by "The Bakersfield Sound"
Could you explain the changing out of the pots a little more? What exactly did it do to the sound? Off the top of my head i don't know what the pots are now on that...I'm assuming it fattened the tone up?

Re: Hallmark Owner's Corner!
chunners. my Hallmark came with 250k pots so the change to 500k brightened it up a bit. I am not sure when Bob changed to 500k pots but I have heard that he did so your's might just have 500k pots. The pickups are the same as far as I know.

Mine too. Mine was bought in 2013 and it had 250k pots. I put in 500k pots and it shimmered up just enough.

Re: Hallmark Owner's Corner!
I got mine at the beginning of 2010--it had 250kohm pots in it. It was a little dark for me, but I had 500k pots installed, and that helped.

Awesome! My guess is you are right the vibration going through the building was too much for the camera.
Blaring regards,

Also looks like a huge orb is in the photo, so may be some type of paranormal interference!

Re: Hallmark Owner's Corner!
Thanks fellas.
Bob, once again man, my 60C was the life of the party. It sounds and plays awesome, and everyone loves the look of it. I was fielding questions about it all night. You make a fine piece of gear!
I also never really noticed how colorful my pedalboard is. That thing is like a gay pride parade!
