I've just found these videos, the hallmark sounds amazing live (I saw them playing hallmarks in 2011, they sounded great too).
Is this the upcoming signature model?
Enjoy.

Now that would be cool. String it up with some boomers, throw some 500K pots and a PIO tone cap in the control circuit. Final touch would be a pickguard cut from a surplus computer PCB...

What amp is he playing? Saw him a couple of times with this amp now. Can't believe he doesn't play the 2x SF Vibrolux setup anymore.

The 500K pots are standard for Hallmarks nowadays

The MOAM? signature model is going to be a little different. We have a few surprises in store. I am going to meet the Mr. Starcrunch tomorrow in DC at the Black Cat to discuss more details.
Cool video's I have never seen the big ASTRO sign before!

So great Bob. I'm curious which model of your pickups will end up in the MoA? signature guitar...

We are still working on the details. I met up with Mr. Starcrunch last night in DC. and we are getting closer. They put on a fantastic show! What an entertaining band! 3 Swept-Wings and 3 60 Customs were used in their set.
I brought two of Starcrunch's main guitars back to the shop for some TLC as they have a couple of weeks off. His Pearl White 60C is looking like it is 15 years old already all dinged up. He cuts there guitars no slack.

Are you also retuning one of his original Mosrites? I know his mainstay guitar before Hallmark was a cream colored Mosrite, affectionately named "Buzz."

That guitar he does not take out much these days. I did see him use it in Jan, but he is pretty much using his Hallmarks now to my knowledge.
