I see that the Hallmark Sweptwing - made famous by The Kilaueas - is now available for sale through Musician's Friend (The "Sears Catalog" of musical instrument mail-order catalogs.): Will this mean a sudden spike of Kilaueas cover bands in the USA???

There's bound to be a surge of cheap Hallmark copies flooding the market, as soon as Ralf inks the contract to play "The Kilaueas" Model Hallmark! |

Ralf actually said he's working on getting an endorsement deal from Hallmark. I hope it happens - I'm sure at least a few Hallmark guitars have been purchased by folks that have seen the Kilaueas live recently. Heck, I don't even play 6-string guitar and I want one....I do have my eyes on the bass though! I just wish I played bass in the Toga Kings instead of organ.

I ain't gonna lie... I've been thinking about one more and more each day. I think someone asked a while ago if anyone had played one -- what was the response to that question? I know Jake said he got to fool around on Ralf's a little bit. Anyone else? ~B~ |

Rick from the Volcanos has one. I posted to the Yahoo Group part of an email he and I traded about some of the tweaks he had done to it. Rick also has a vintage Hallmark that he plays in the 3-D Invisibles! If he doesn't chime in here I will go dig up the old Yahoo Group post. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Yeah, I like mine. I had a few issues that had to be resolved when I got it. I had to replace the nut (G string kept popping out) and a pickup. I don't remember, may have been something else. Anyway, I'm guessing these were flukes and Bob Shade was very cool about taking care of things. |
