Hey all.
So a few days ago someone posted in the "classified" section about Fretted Americana's selection of vintage Mosrites. Well, I saw one, a 1990 Gospel "prototype" that I thought was absolutely gorgeous. Then I remembered that Bob Shade is considering making the Hallmark 65' a full on production model, and he owns the rights to "Gospel" guitars. Well, I thought, wouldn't this be an awesome guitar for Hallmark to manufacture? It's different, and gorgeous! Maybe it could be offered as a "deluxe" gospel model?
What do you all think?

I know there are some folks who like the three pickup configuration on a Mosrite but for me it just doesn't look right. It looks like one is trying to fit a too much in a limited space.
And just an aside, how about Hallmark do a re-issue of the Mosrtie Combo and Celebrity?

I've asked Mr. Shade about a Combo, and he said he wasn't planning on it, strictly because they are not nearly as popular and can be obtained for a reasonable price in reasonable condition....Even though I understand his position, I'd like to see a combo, too, but still I like that Gospel.

Re: Hallmark Gospel suggestion
Alright!! We have one dozen, do I hear two?
Kidding.
We can make a Gospel exactly like this one, all you have to do is inquire!
This would be a special order as you may suppose.
Best and thank you for your interest!
