New Hallmark sandcast stop tailpieces available now

Postby Bob Shade » Thu Jun 12, 2014 11:08 am

New Hallmark sandcast stop tailpieces are available now. We have a limited stock on hand. These are aluminum sandcast pieces, and each one is hand tooled with chrome plating, and hand painted interior. Each one comes complete with bridge height adjustment screws and mounting screws.

A recent Hallmark customer just purchased one to install on his Hallmark II model. He says it plays and sounds great. He sent these photos:

Best, Bob Shade

Well these are all drilled for 6 strings, but we could make one for bass too.

I just got mine in the mail today, and I want to say that the pictures don't do it justice. Bob, this is a very nice, jewel-like tailpiece. I'm thinking of a Sonic or daphne blue finish and using this on it. Great job!

Thank you Dennis!! What do you plan on installing it on? It would be nice to see a pic when completed.

Thanks Dennis for your long time support,

Would this would fit a 60 Custom? Looks ace and I've been thinking more & more about blocking my trem but this might be a better solution! :)

What kind of price do they come in at?

I asked Bob the very same question. It will fit but you will need to drill new holes. Maybe if enough folks show interest we could convince Bob to come up with a stop tail that mounts in place of the term :)

Hope they design somethign similar, I really like the idea of a stop tailpiece for my 60C as an option :) Here's the response I got from Bob:

"The new tailpiece has to be mounted on a bolt it raises the bridge up and the neck needs shimming. That is the only problem with it. It was designed for a bolt neck".
