NGD Hallmark Swept Wing
happened upon this on ebay $450 with orginal case and free shipping. could not pass up. these guitars have been on my top 5 dream guitar list for years. just looking at it makes me giddy. super comfortable neck. pickups sound just perfect for what i will be using it for (surf). still cant believe i finally own one.
the only down side of this guitar is how long it is. it doesnt fit in any of my gig bags. hard cases arent always fun to lug around.

Re: NGD Hallmark Swept Wing
That seems like a deal. Did somebody die in it or something?

Re: NGD Hallmark Swept Wing
Have only seen one original in person. In a collector's display case. The first time I remember seeing one was a picture on the sleeve of a Flaming Lips record.
Do they have a Mosrite sound to them? They look like a guitar Vox should have made as the tail shape is similar to the Vox organ guitar or the 12-strings that came after the teardrop guitar.

they do have a fairly mosrite-esque sound to them. hot and punchy but not in any way ridiculous.fuzzjunkie wrote:Have only seen one original in person. In a collector's display case. The first time I remember seeing one was a picture on the sleeve of a Flaming Lips record.
