Thank for posting! I remember this 60 Custom, it has a distinct grain pattern :D

Hallmark Swept-Wings are great because they almost differ completely from a 60 Custom. The frets are a tad larger, the scale length is longer and 23 frets to boot, the pickups have more twang but still powerful, the body is mahogany and hey.......how can you beat a Swept-Wing anyway?

The looks of the Swept-Wing alone is like a throwback to the modern era of Sputnik and Atomic inspired designs. I look at the Swept-Wing as the 1958 Flying V of the Bakersfield gear.

Thanks again,
