Look at the guitar pictured. It's a Hallmark.

Their website says they're made in Maryland, but IDK if they outsource the parts.

That hallmark guitar looks like a toy in all of those pictures. It looks like it's made out of plastic.

Actually I think that's a really rare Mosrite that's in his collection. Semi was going to do an endorsement deal with The Ramones similar to The Ventures signature guitars.

Apparently the guitars being sold at Front Porch Music are the Dana Mosley guitars, but the bodies and necks come from FIllmore in Japan (So the Mom is suing them but the daughter does business with them? )
Loretta is Dana's stepmother. Dana's mom was Semie's first wife and Loretta was his third.

There was a used Sheena on Ebay. I copied the photo to see how the color compared with a original blue Mosrite ('65 Mark V)
