Got it, I'm gonna try it again tomorrow.

Not nearly bright enough. Lol (at the last 5 mp3s I've posted here, that is) - I concur with the other posts about less treble and less gain - but the muted part sounded so awesome that I can see how it would drive your eq choices if it did. In my own struggles, I'm starting to use an OD pedal a little more, but still mostly go dry and I'm getting cleaner and cleaner with it.Hallmark 60 Custom bridge p/u > Marshall JVM410 > Avatar 2x12 Vintage 30 > SM57 on grill halfway to edge.

Sweet guitar!!! I've got a mutt sg clone with P-94s in it (originally had crappy humbuckers), and I keep picking at them because I really like the sound, but want more versatility in the volume and tone knob. What happens to the Hallmark tone when you turn the guitar volume down? Does the treble go with it (I mean, in a bad way)? That was abundantly true with my P-94s, but they were so hot that I felt like I had to turn them down a little. Most recently, I added a "bright bleed" mod that has taken care of that problem, but now I'm having bass difficulties.
Anyway - kickass!! I love stories about small makers making great stuff.
Yup - that's the mod I'm talking about. The resistor is wired into the volume pot. Different valued resistors have a different effect, of course, and I think I may have overdone (or underdone?) it with my guitar. Maybe the Hallmark has one. Greg, I think keeping the tone neutral across the sweep of the volume pot is a great thing - that's where I want to be.some gits'll have a resistor (I think ) wired in the circuit is a way that prevents the loss of highs when you roll off the volume.
I have that in that strat APL assembled for me and I think my stinnett has it too. I've never bothered to look up the circuit since I don't really use volume knobs but it's pretty easy to add so perhaps the Hallmark has it.
Holy freakin' glitter Gregman!!! Nice guitar. Why is that neck pickup on an angle? Is that aesthetics? Or is it functional? Maybe that's been asked already? I skipped most of the thread. In any case. Nice grab Mr.
yeah .. I'm sure cosmetics had a role but angling the p'up that way allows it to pick up the bass strings at a tighter slightly more trebly section of the strings while the smaller strings get picked up farther out where it's a bit looser and mellower.Thanks. That's a standard Mosrite design, and I'm not sure why they did it that way. The neck pickup does have a much mellower sound on the high strings, which makes sense since it's angled that way.
Damn sweet guitar, Greg! I was in a band many years ago where the other guitarist had a Mosrite, it was a nice guitar but your new guitar blows is away.
A guitar with P-90 pickups and the set neck construction are a great addition to your guitar harem.
