Interesting observation. I have to say that I gave the fellow at Dynamico a point for originality but they aren't guitars that I would lust for.

There are few who know less than I do about electric guitar pickups, but I do have a good ear, and the Hallmark pickups seem-- to me-- to have a very musical sound.
Another guitar pal who, like me, comes from the acoustic guitar/electric bass world, mentioned that, compared to the Fenders and Ibanezes that he has been hearing recently, the Hallmarks sounded so pleasant. The other guitars he mentioned he described as grating and harsh-sounding.
