Hello friends!

VENTURES FAN JAM 2011!

Attention all Ventures fans!

If you love the Ventures half as much as we do here at Hallmark Guitars, you will not want to miss the annual 2011 Ventures Fan Jam! Hallmark Guitars will have a booth for everyone to come by and try out their favorite guitar, and possibly play onstage too!

Bob Spalding from The Ventures will also be on hand as well as other special guests. There will be a one day event discount on all Hallmark Guitars at the event as well as door prizes and much more! So bring some cabbage and get ready for Ventures Fan Jam 2011!

Hope to see you there!! Bob Shade

The Hallmark Johnny Ramone Model has been given a great review from Premier Guitar! Read the review here!

We had a super event at NAMM 2011 this year! Attendance was up and we met some really great players! We met up with Hugh McDonald among others. Hugh is currently on tour with Bon Jovi rocking arenas around the world, and has played with everyone from Ringo Starr to Lita Ford. We are now building a bass for Hugh that will be a production model as well for those of you (and you know who you are) that have been e-mailing us about a 60 Custom bass. The time has almost arrived!

Another New Jersey veteran Bob Bandiera is on tour with Bon Jovi playing one of our Hallmark 59 Customs in a vintage Cream White finish. Bob has been seen playing with the likes of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes for years as well as Bruce Springsteen. Bob says he loves the 59 Custom and will be using it on tour. See here Bobby rockin out at Madison Square Garden!

I would also like to welcome Gary Hooker from the Brad Paisley band to the news page! Gary is an 18 year vet with Brad and is one talented guitarist! Gary wanted a Red, Silver and Blue H60C and we were only too happy to accommodate. Gary was seen on the Fox Network event, the Daytona 500 rockin the crowd up! See Brad's tour schedule for more information.

Also in the news: Hallmark Endorsee "GEORGE BARRIS" the "King of the Kustomizers" is on a new hit TV show called "CAR WARRIORS" If you have not seen it yet tune in to the Speed Channel Network on Wed. evenings for a great new show! Go George!

Speaking of George Barris, we will be attending the Culver City Stars Car event in Culver City CA on May 7th for a great time! We will be auctioning off a Hallmark Guitar for charity and Deke Dickerson will be performing as well as the Dynotones! Don't miss this great and exciting event! It will be filmed by the Speed Channel so come by and get in the action.

Until the next report, burn rubber and break strings! - Bob Shade
