I finally broke down and ordered my 60 Custom in Fire Sparkle Burst today! :D

Now the agonizing wait for it to get here begins. :lol:

Thanks!

According to FedEx it'll be here tomorrow. That's really fast shipping and much less transit time than I thought it would be.

I've now had my new 60C since last Saturday and have played it extensively nearly every day since getting it.

Other than the action being a little low on the treble side bottoming out above the 12th fret, which was quickly fixed with a quick adjustment of the bridge. I'd say that out of the box this is one of the best new guitar experiences I've had. I love the way the pickups get that growl and the look of the guitar, especially the fit and finish is stellar. What's not to like about Fire Sparkle Burst? :D

The guitar is definitely a winner. Not to mention the great service from Hallmark too! Communication was great and shipping was fast.

Thanks, Bob!

I can't find a serial number on my new 60C. I read some posts that say it should be stamped into the fretboard at 22nd fret but it's not there. It's not on the back of the headstock either. I haven't looked under the pickguard or anything equally obscure yet.

Did mine somehow get not get an SN or are they no longer serialized?

Thanks,

Steve

Hey there and thanks for the post!

We have it marked down as number 2082

Every once in a blue moon we forget to stamp one before shipping. This day must have had a blue moon.

If you would mark the rear of the headstock with the number that would be great. Sorry for any inconvenience.

If you have a stamp kit or know anyone local who may, you can always punch the number I gave you in.

Best and thanks again!

I might be able to get it stamped in the fretboard. What size are the letters on the wood stamp you guys use?

I think that's really cool! You have an oddity that could be worth tons of money one day! Save that post from Mr Bob as proof of authenticity. :D
