My New Gospel

Postby FooserTom » Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:39 pm

Hi all, just wanted to sing the praises of Hallmark. Just got my new Gospel model and I couldn't be happier. Bob Shade really does the deal on these guitars!

FYI, the pickup covers are supposed to match the pickguard, but Bob ran a little short on them. I was in a hurry to get this beauty, so Bob put some black ones on until he can get me the tortoise-shell. They could have been pink polka-dot and this guitar would still look good.

Beautiful, Tom! I'll venture to guess it plays and sounds just as good as it looks (If not better!) Congratulations!

I do too, but to have that same color will really make this thing jump out at folks.

And these pickups are HOT.

Looks great! The combination of the tortoise guard and pearl white with the gold hardware is sharp! I asked Bob if he could sell me a pair of blue pearloid pickup covers like on the one on the Hallmark website, but he didn't have any extras. Darn--they sure would have looked cool on my Surf Pearl 60 Custom! Your tortoise pickup covers should look good with the tortoise pickguard--I'd love to see some pics when you get 'em on there.
