Preachin' the Gospel !!

Postby Vec » Wed Feb 02, 2011 6:59 pm

Howdy everyone...its been a while since I've been around these parts and I hope you all are doing well?

With some crazy things going on in my life like illness in the family and loss of employment in the crazy economy, things were touch & go for a while and I was forced to sell one of my favorite guitars, my Hallmark Custom 60. Well, it looks as though things are finally starting to turn themselves around and I got the itch for another Hallmark guitar. So I contacted Bob Shade and, in a few email exchanges, he told me about a very special Hallmark Gospel guitar he happened to have in stock. When he sent the photos, my jaw hit the floor as I can't remember the last time I saw such a beautiful guitar. Well, she's on the way...so I thought I'd share a sneak peek with you all:

The tortoise shell on black works for me too. And the white binding really sets it off. We want more pics after it arrives!
