looking to buy a hallmark or a really good Japanese copy, I want one that is really close to the original but you can actually use on stage

Thats a first run model. I wonder where the case went?? The guitar came with a hard shell case. Great price right now though.

I asked the seller why a gig bag and not the case.I mentioned that a case came with the guitar new. All I got back for an answer was " I dont have a case". Gotta love those detailed answers ;)

His feedback is pretty terrible too.

After playing a few vintage Mosrites I have to say that the Hallmark is your best option for playability and price. For a grand you get a quality instrument and a hard shell case included as well as another trem spring. Plus Bob Shade is a nice guy to deal with and the guitar will be playable right out of the box. Mine did.

I'll second that, and those cases are super nice too!

yeah looks like he's prob a pawn shop or someone that buys from pawn shops or he has a music store and doesnt know much about guitars :roll:
He has offered to do a buy it now but his feedback worries me some. :?
Im thinking I would change the white pup covers to black.
what would be a fair price for a used Hallmark?
