Mosrite Guitars: A Short History 

Another fun history, Keith. I'm in a "classic" punk cover band that does a set of Ramones and I bought a Japanese Fillmore "Johnny Ramone Forever" tribute model to fill that visual requirement. Very light and resonant, blue sparkle with white pearliod pickguard and gold hardware. Supposedly it was Johnny's last collaboration on a guitar design before he passed in the mid-2000s. A gentle correction: "Spanish Castle Magic" appears on "Axis: Bold as Love" not "Electric Ladyland." Thanks again for all you do putting these histories together!

I love the look of all these guys Hypes! There are some really beautiful ones🔥🔥🔥

Superb video! Thanks again for letting me be a part of it. I didn’t get to play a real Mosrite guitar until later in life, when I subbed on a Venturesmania gig with Deke Dickerson. He was the one that told me about Bob Shades’s Hallmark Guitars as an affordable , well-made alternative. Later I got to play all the Eastwood models , which are also great. Glad to see other companies like Dunable and Marvin paying homage to the Mosrite vibe.

I recently got a Ventures record and played non stop for a couple weeks. So yes I'm looking forward to this 🙂

Don't forget Larry Collins of the Collins Kids. He was a Joe Maphis protégé who also played a double neck Mosrite. That kid had an amazingly energetic stage presence.

Nice video! The Mosrite Fuzzrite was used by Danny Weis during his stint in iron butterfly in 1967-68 when he recorded the heavy album with the band. He also had a sunburst Mosrite ventures model but ended up leaving iron butterfly due to personal reasons and the band ended up hiring a 16-year-old kid named Erik Brann who apparently saw the band perform and wanted to join. After Erik joined iron Butterfly Danny ended up selling Erik his stage clothes and his Mosrite ventures guitar, fuzzrite pedal, and a Vox super Beatle solid state 100w head and cab together. Erik would use the Ventures guitar and Fuzzrite pedal which had germanium transistors to record the psychedelic anthem In a Gadda Da vida and him and bassist Lee Dorman had matching Mosrite guitars and basses. Some of them being in sunburst,red,white,blue etc.

Thanks for including the Fuzzrite in the history. The Ventures Mosrite amps were built by a young Howard Alexander Dumble, another Bakersfield native. Also, It's SugarFOOT, not sugarcoat, great guitar player!

This has to be the best guitar history series on RU-vid. I love getting a stylized road trip through American guitardom! Great job Keith!

I bought a 1965 Venture II model when I was in San Diego in the Navy. My twin Brother and I had been playing guitar and took lessons. "Walk Don't Run" was one of the first songs we played. I still have the guitar and it plays incredible. I have many other guitars, including a pedal steel, but the Mosrite has a special place in my heart.

One design feature not mentioned and which differentiates Mosrite from Fender and Gibson was the use of a Zero fret.

Thanks Keith. Awesome history video once again. I grew up idolizing Nokie Edwards and The Ventures. So much, found an original late 60's Ibanez copy of the Sunburst Mark IV model through the window of a small guitar shop back when I was in High School, in the late 80's, thought I found a diamond in the rough, until I found out it was a Ibanez. Still consider the find a diamond in the rough over all. My Dad played his 1967 Blue Celebrity I model through all his years with local bands. I still own his guitar and cherish it, I refused to let him sell it to anyone that asked. In all, it was great to see a video and a shout out to a very forgotten guitar model and brand. They were always a overlooked Brand in my opinion for way too many years.

Can't forget Fred "Sonic" Smith played a Mosrite which inspired Johnny Ramone to play one. Also Spanish Castle Magic was on Axis Bold as Love not Electric Ladyland just saying. Great video history nonetheless.

A couple of things: -The earliest Mosrite guitars used aftermarket pickups, most notably Carvin AP-6’s. -The Ventures II was eventually rebranded the Mark V after the redesign from a slab body and the change to the Moseley vibrato and addition of pickup rings. -Mosrite pickups used industrial AlNiCo 5 segmented bar magnets and unusual materials, including frames instead of traditional bobbins. The reason the student model pickups didn’t have pole pieces was because the magnets were arranged as double rails. -The original Ventures II Slab pickups are thinner than the Mark I’s and have a slightly lower output than the Mark I pickups due to less room for the coil. The later Ventures II and Mark V’s have the same basic pickup design but with the same dimensions as the Mark I, though their output is slightly lower than the slab pickups. -Gospel was a brand used for instruments sold to religious organizations, not a model. They are mostly standard Mosrites with a few deluxe features. Kurt Cobain’s Gospel was a Mark V with Japanese tuners and no neckplate.

Thank you, Keith and everyone involved in making this film. Entertaining and informative - as always.

Thanks Keith! Wonderful as always. Glad to hear the brand continues still.

Being a Ramones fan that’s how I was introduced to the brand I enjoy this series of vids thank you and please keep them coming

Thank you, Keith, for another "Short History" episode. As always, you've created another amazing installment in guitar history that would have otherwise been lost. Take care, and may God bless you and yours.

Another video that gear heads will be watching forever.

Great history lesson! Last year a buddy of mine brought over his completely original 1966 Joe Maphis model and left it with me for a couple weeks. Two things stood out: 1) The overall build quality was sub-par; mostly due to choice of materials, and 2) The pickups were really powerful. I measured 10.2k resistance each - they were very loud and clean and sounded best to me when run through a Vox AC30.

Very cool…I had a red Mosrite electric 12 string; it played and sounded great; I’d put it up against any Rickenbacker; I learned a lot about Mosrite in a great book by Deke Dickerson titled The Strat In The Attic (about guitarcheology 😎) I, too, played guitar at church; I lead 4 or 5 guitars at the early, 9:00 mass back in the early ‘70s; my bass player for that was my Jr high buddy (not middle school) who was in my power trio (chord fueled grunge before it was labeled that) we got severely reprimanded when the priest walked into a rehearsal in church and my buddy was playing 96 Tears on the organ while I sang! Those were the daze

Wonderful video. I'm surprised you didn't mention Fred "Sonic" Smith of MC5 -- he was the last of the original '60s Mosrite endorsers, and the first MC5 album bore the inscription "MC5 play Mosrite guitars" (notwithstanding the SG shown on the cover!)

Great interesting video, thanks a lot! Those Mosrite Ventures models have such a unique and iconic look to them, I just love it. There's a band I have to add here: Man Or Astroman have used both, Hallmark and Mosrite guitars a lot. Their lead guitarist Star Crunch even has a Hallmark signature model based on their 60s model. Great example of that Mosrite tone closing the gap between 60s garage/surf style and 70s Ramones like Punk Rock. Absolutely one of my alltime favorite bands from the 90s. Their live performances are just incredible, definitely worth checking out.

Good Job Keith!!! I remember the lead guitarist of Iron Butterfly doing Inna- Goda- Davita with a Mosrite guitar. My first quality fuzz pedal was a Mosrite.

I remember playing a Mosrite in a music store way back when. I remember it being light with a somewhat hollow feeling neck. The frets were low and flat and the fretboard radius was high while the action was correspondingly low. Great that you can give a detailed history.

beautiful playing from Tobias as always.

Rather than repeat the well-deserved praise this episode (and your entire series) garners, I'll just give you credit for having the best Pokemon of all on your amp.

Thanks for doing a Mosrite history, Keith! Surf fans rejoice 🎉

Thank you for putting this video!

Spanish Castle Magic was on Axis Bold as Love not to be picky!! Being mostly aware of Johnny Ramone using Mosrite, this was such an educational video!! Thanks again to the guitar historians at 5 Watt World!! I always wanted to try one. That video of Tobias Hoffmann was stunning, such beautiful playing.

Another great video Keith! Thank you

Great video as always Keith. Still waiting for the Hofner 500-1 video. 🙏

Shout out to Hallmark Guitars! Their "60 Custom" model is absolutely top notch. The fit and finish, tone and playability is truly amazing.

Awesome video to watch on the bus home from work. been hoping for a Mosrite video from you!

Erik Brann who took over for guitar in Iron Butterfly bought Danny Weiss’ Mosrite and lots of other gear from him including clothes so that the band could basically clone Weiss, Brann even imitated Weiss’ playing style. Lee Dorman, original bassist for Iron Butterfly always used the Ventures era Mosrite bass guitar. Catalinbread pedals in conjunction with the Mosely family is making an official FUZZrite fuzz heard on In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida making those great elephant noises. A guy in a local band that played at firehouses in my hometown in the 60’s/70’s had a Ventures era sunburst Mosrite. I always wanted one.

My first introduction to the Mosrite guitar I was about 14 or 15 years old in 1968 near Foots Creek, Oregon west of Medford, OR on Hwy 99. I was visiting a friend there one lovely summer day when I heard the enticing sounds of a guitar echoing from across the Rogue River. I went down to the river's edge to try and locate the sound and I discovered it was coming from a campground across the water along side Interstate 5. My friend and I swam to the other side to get a closer look, and found our way to the sound. Soaking wet, we found a boy about our own age sitting in the doorway of his small camp trailer playing a glorious looking red guitar (one I'd never seen before) through a tiny amplifier. It was a red Mosrite with what he called a "speed neck." It was really cool, and narrow enough I could get my short fingers around. I fell in love immediately and have lusted after one ever since. I've yet to secure one, however due to other life priorities getting in the way. As a side note, I met Nokie Edwards sitting at a table with Mosrites sitting upon it at "Louiefest" the 1000 Guitar event at Chaney Stadium in Tacoma, WA, in 2003. It was an attempt to enter the Guiness Book of Records (sponsored by The Kingsmen and The Fabulous Wailers) by having 1000 guitarists playing "Louie-Louie" which, by the way, was the very first song I learned to play in 1967. It was total pandemonium. We had a ball. See the RU-vid video "Louie Louie Fest 2003 in Tacoma."

Hi Keith! First let me tell you how much i appreciate your efforts and love you videos. I've been a rock fan eversince i can remember, and a guitar player since i was 15 which makes up to 45 years. Yes i love the Ramones, but Glen Campbell is one of my absolute guitar idols. So I guess it makes me a Mosrite guitar fan. I don't have the kind of money to get me one of the early original copies, but i've got Glen's Original Gentle on my mind record which means a whole world to me! So let the guitars play on till the end of times.

Wow! Fascinating story! I had no idea The Ventures played such an enormous part in the Mosrite story - the riff from 'Wipeout' was the first thing I learnt to play when I was a kid in the late 60s. In the early 90s I spotted a weird guitar in a store here in HK and thought it would be fun for my own kid when he was a bit older, still have it: Mosrite (no other identification) half size, all black, white pick-guard, wooden tail-piece, Gotoh tuners, classic shape with HUGE full size pick-ups that seem to take up half the body! I tune it in A and, yeah, it sounds nasty! (PS - the Tobias Hoffman appearance a nice bonus - he's a great player)

Thanks Keith for another great history lesson!

Another beautifully crafted show,thank you.

Great stuff man. I love watching your vids while I wait for my medication to kick in.

I think there was also a Factory Location in Boonville Arkansas... were Mosley , in one of his last efforts to resurect a setup in a factory space that was the first Walmart store that had gone belly up. A great place were the Dept. of the Interior would give you 2 year's free rent and power ...if you could set up a factory and employ blue collar worker's in that depressed area. To this day I think there is a treasure -trove of Mosrite Hardware in a mini storage there. That was the story I got from Booneville City Hall asking me If I had a use for all of It. !

Ahh yes the Studebaker of the guitar world. Great history as always keith!!

Great video. Thanks. A workmate kindly gave me his old guitar that he had used in his high school band, in what I gather was the late 70s or early 80s. It is a house-brand jobber-made copy of a Mosrite "Combo" guitar, produced for a Montreal music store. Because the store's house brand was "Mansfield", they got away with many of the distinctive aspects of actual Mosrites, including the stylized M profile of the top of the headstock, and the big M decal on it. I was struck by just how accurately they stuck to the characteristics of the original. The Combo is a fully hollow semi-acoustic, with the Rossmeisl "German carve" around the perimeter of the body. The copy has the same carve, sunburst finish, and large cast-aluminum Bigsby/bridge assembly, with the unusual offset string holes in the movable tailpiece of the Bigsby. I gather these were offset so as to provide roughly equal tension on the wound and unwound strings when operating the vibrato arm. The bridge has roller saddles. Most unusual, at least to me, was the difference between top and back thickness. Tap anywhere on the back, and you'd get the same hollow-sounding resonance one might expect from, say, an Epiphone Casino. Tap on the *top* though, and you'd swear it was a solidbody. The top appears to be roughly double the thickness of the back, if not more. My guess is this was done for two reasons. First, in the absence of a center block it provided the structural rigidity to support the vibrato assembly and its use. Second, it would help to reduce feedback by being less resonant. It has the zero fret, same thin neck profile, and knobs. Virtually the only thing about this copy that is different from the original Combo model is the use of unspecified humbucker pickups, rather than the single-coils. My workmate had originally bought it and used it because, to his ears, it nailed Beatles sounds. I wouldn't entirely agree, but once in a while I can hear what he heard in them. An unusual copy of an unusual guitar.

Nice video! I always loved the look of the Mosrites due to Johnny Ramone. His Mark 2 was about the coolest looking guitar I had ever seen. My affection for the brand was later augmented by Starcrunch wielding a Ventures model for a good chunk of his time in Man or Astroman? which makes perfect sense considering they’re either a punky surf band or a surfy punk band. He plays a signature Hallmark now for the current MOAM? stuff, surprised you mentioned Eastwood ahead of Hallmark when mentioning modern day Mosrite inspired offerings. Hallmark is much more accurate to the Mosrite legacy. But again, cool video!

When I first laid eyes on the Mosrite it was love at first sight. When I played one for the first time not only did it have an incredibly awesome sound but looked darn sexy to boot. All in all it was my ideal of what a guitar should be.

I had a 60's Ventures model, in solid blue, a Fuzzrite, and played thru an Ampeg amp. Fun days for me. Thanx for the info about the history that I never knew. Very interesting. I knew a session musician that used a Mosrite, he loved the light action, especially for playing Jazz chords.😃

The Mosrite not only has an incredibly awesome sound but looks DARN SEXY to boot. To me it has to look right AND sound right too.The Mosrite fits the bill PERFECTLY.

I guess i am the lucky one. I always had a Mosrite guitar in my house. My brother had a paper route that he threw on his bicycle after we rolled them. He bought the Aqua blue one as his first guitar. I think he still has it today. My uncle also played and had bands he gave us a red Mosrite caused he preferred Fender back then in the early '70 's. I usually played it while we would work out Ventures tunes on those guitars as kids. Good times in Texas.

Thanks so much for this glimpse into Mosrite. Great sample platter.

Your documentaries are outrageously good. They rate at excellent or above. Thank you for keeping this history alive in the best possible way.

When I first laid eyes on the Ventures Mosrite guitar it was love at first sight. When I played one for the first time not only did it have an incredibly awesome sound but looked darn sexy to boot. All in all it was my ideal of what a guitar should be. I have since acquired a similar model made by Eastwood and have been playing the HECK out of it from day one. I have six others but that is my GO TO one

Great video Keith, thanks for the deep dive into these guitars. So another great school day keep em coming. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.

This is great! I have a Hallmark JR model and Hallmark 63’ bass, along with a Fillmore Mosrite CJ Ramone bass. Love the sound, and will never sell them!

1:08 what an eloquent way to put it! Put my thoughts into words. Looks wrong and right at the same time. Another great history lesson Keith! Appreciate the work, can't wait to watch what you are going to cover next🙏🏻😀

I really liked the Mosrite Guitars in the early 1960's. Very Cool Video. Thanks and best Regards

Great video as always. One correction I'd like to point out is the guitar played at 5:40 by JD Simo is actually a 71-72 Mark 1 and not a 60's model. You can tell by the logo on the headstock and the Japanese tuners that were only used during that period.

Excellent video...happy to subscribe! I own a 89' sunburst Ventures model made in Jonas Ridge, NC. It's really beautiful, the vibrato is so sensitive. I use it often on my channel. Being born in '55 the Ventures were a major influence along with Chet Atkins, etc. So I'm fortunate to have my Mosrite...I'm glad Semi signed the back of the headstock during those years.

Wonderful video. My first electric guitar was a Mosrite Hi-Flyer copy by Univox that was purchased at a second hand store in the early 80's. It was weird, for sure, but it was a great playing guitar with a thin, comfortable neck.

I’m excited for this!

Best Description I have ever seen of Mosrite

Haven't watched in a while and didn't expect the awesome beard, great video as always!

Great video. The Standel guitars were not mentioned in your video. I own a Standel Custom built in 1967 that was built by a collaboration of Mosrite and Standel.

Awesome episode! The Dunable Gnarwhal is my current favorite Mosrite styled guitar.

Excellent! Growing up in the Pacific Northwest the Ventures had a big impact on me back then and I dreamed about Mosley guitars thinking I'd sound like them if I had one as a teen. I did own one in the mid 1960s, but traded it for an Epiphone Casino. Thanks again for this very interesting short history of Mosrite Guitars.

My cousin, a pro, gave me a Bluesbender many years ago when I asked him to help me choose a beginner guitar. I still have it, and will never give it up.

I love the twang the mosrites have to them. Not sure if there’s too many guitars that can pull that sort of sound off.

Nice, I've been waiting for this one!

I was happy to see this video. I bought a mosrite bass in 1967 or 1968 in Bakerfield. it looks a lot like a celebrity except for the controls and the pick guard. It had a low serial number 015 I have never seen another like it and always wondered if i got a custom or a prototype. Sadly I didnt see it here either but it was the best hollow body I ever played, great sound, so easy to play with its thin and narrow neck have not found any data on these guitars like weight and neck dimensions

After the Ventures came out with "Walk Don't Run" I've always wanted a Mosrite guitar. However, as my playing ability got better I got a Ibanez 'cause my nephew had one and I loved to play it. I now have my own Ibanez (Strat copy). Since taking physics in college, I learned about frequency and string length. The Ibanez featured adjustable bridge saddles to increase/decrease string length as per the physics theory on string length as it relates to frequency. When I was in high school, I got a triple pickup Hagstrom black guitar. That was a great guitar I wish I still had. And back in the mid 70's I bought a Fender Telecaster and a Kustom 150 amp with a bass speaker cabinet with 3 15" Altec Lansing silver cone speakers. I wish I hadn't sold the Kustom and the Fender Tele. Cheers from eastern TN

Excellent video on a brand that should be getting much more credit !

These guitars are among many on my "I gotta get one of those someday" list.

Growing up my father had a Joe Maphis II, Combo, Celebrity and even a Mosrite amp great playing guitars

Fantastic, thanks. While others have mentioned it, it would be dive in to the Dumble-Mosrite history. From what I have read, seems like Dumble built 11 prototypes before the decision was made that Dumble could not mass produce enough amps to supply the proposed demand. Apparently The Ventures used these early Dumbles on the road, and not sure where they are today? Also just as a side note while Mosrite was in NC Semie worked with Tony Hunt a Luthier in North Little Rock AR. I just happen to have had the opportunity to talk to Tony in the early '80's at his shop in Levy. ( a neighborhood in NLR ) At that time we talked about his work as a consultant for Mosrite as well as a couple of prototypes he built for Semie. We also discussed how he had actually built the models given to The Ventures and Paul Revere and The Raiders. Which I thought was weird until a couple of decades later it was revealed that 'custom' built modes are often given to endorsee's. Just a fun note, having nothing to do with Mosrite, Tony built a friendship with Nokie Edwards. After The Ventures years Nokie had Tony build a couple of custom guitars for him. If you get bored look up some photos of Tony's guitars. They are neat. He made his pick up covers, and scratch plates and knobs out of exotic woods, giving his guitars a really neat overall look.

Keith, you always do a stand up job of exposing guitar history. This was another great lesson for me, even if I'm not all that crazy about Mosrite. Another Great job on this video!

Shoot us a video of the birth of the fender five string bass guitar and it origins and how popular it became

This video was awesome to watch. My dad was a professional musician for decades and one of the guitars I inherited from him is a Mosrite Venture. Even after watching the video I’m unsure of the year, I’m guessing late 60’s. I wish I could upload a photo, the story goes that my dad hated sunburst finishes so he stripped the guitar and refinished it in essentially a mud brown color so it wouldn’t show the dirt and cigarette smoke/tar buildup from playing the bars 😂. I plan on bringing it into my local shop for some TLC and get it back into playing condition. Thanks again for the great video, I know my dad would’ve enjoyed watching it!

Great video Keith! Love the Mosrite look. Gotta mention Electrical Guitar Company and Dunable in the list of brands making Mosrite-shaped instrument today. Saw Mike Sullivan playing his Dunable Gnarwhal into stacks of Hiwatts with Russian Circles last year the tone was absolutely punishing.

I love how the Mosrites look and obviously the most iconic one is Johnny Ramone’s!

I'm originally from Bakersfield, and Gene Moles worked on one of my guitars, and I took lessons out of his store when I first started. Also, the guy that used to repair my amps was Ed Sanner, who designed the Fuzzrite. He put out a small batch of Sanner Fuzzrites in the early 90s that sold through Front Porch Music, whose owner worked at Mosrite as well, and that store has a ton of Mosrites on the wall.

Oh yeah, the Ramones! Funnily, before the Ramones, when I was younger, I loved the Ventures. Never knew Mosrite was in there too. Kind of connects the dots. Oh, wait, I still love the Ventures, didn't mean to sound like I forgotten them. And the Ramones.

Oh Lordy , I came very close to buying a vintage Sunburst Ventures model back in 2007 at a pawn shop in town , I was surprised how solidly built it is/was , the way the neck joined the body , the neck angle , I wish I could've plugged it in . I was'nt able to get the money together at the time...damn ! I would still love to get a Mosrite one day....NO ! I want to get 2 or 3 of them !....the Combo model is so quirky & cool ! ....I love Rickenbackers for the same reason , the German carve is so beauty FULL ....Thanks Keith & 5 Watt !!

You forgot to mention Hallmark guitars, Founded by Joe Hall. Amazing guitars!

I watched the whole thing. I don't remember any mention of the zero fret, right at the nut. My friend Bill loved that so much on his Mosrite that he had several of his other guitars modified. Open strings ring the same as fretted strings.

This one gets a like before I’ve even gotten out of the TrueFire add. I love The Ventures and Shadows and I’m a disciple of Johnny Ramone!

in a parallel universe, mosrite style guitars have become the strat of their world, i'm sure. i love mosrites so much. hopefully one day i get to hold one in my hands.

I have a Venture MKII 1966. It was pretty much in pieces in a box. Upon restoration the pickups seemed to be potted with tar (Black goo) the feed back was horrendous. I cleaned them up and repotted them in a mix of bees, and scentsy wax. the work really nice now. Also the strings would jump off the bridge, if you over bent them. So I shave the back of the foot of the neck slightly to give it a tiny bit of break angle. Just these 2 mod have made it an excellent hard rock guitar. The only quam I have with it is, going from a Les Paul To a mosrite takes a little getting used to. The neck is like a baseball bat, making the LP neck seem like a shedder, or Wizard II neck.

Some of the best examples of vintage guitars I’ve had the chance to play in my time have been Mosrites. They have definitely influenced my love of funky offsets and German carves. I’ll second the Hallmark love, too. They’re carrying the spirit of Semie Mosley’s work and are fantastic, well crafted instruments.

Hey Keith great video I really enjoy it a mosrite fan and love your channel

I was hoping this would align with my break but unfortunately my break will be over just as the show starts. I will definitely watch the replay.

The Imagine story is so powerful. In church the kids are singing in their heads....."imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try".....

Thanks Keith - that was great. The first band I ever went on the road with had a guitar player who had a Moserite Combo. I remember thinking it was just too weird looking...

Wow! Tobias Hoffmann! Where have you been all my life? Amazing playing

I've been waiting for this video for such a long time. It was great as always and it's such a unique brand where the even many of the copies have become so desirable and expensive. I do wish you would have talked about the current Ed Roman Mosrites though. I'm not sure of what's going on with that situation.

Great stuff as always Keith. Although I must point out that Spanish Castle Magic is on the Hendrix album Axis: Bold As Love and not Electric Ladyland.

I didn’t notice a mention of the zero fret that appears on most/all of these guitars? That’s an interesting distinctive not used by the more mainstream brands. Great video, Keith!

If you don't already know...There is a music store in Bakersfield called Front Porch Music, owned by Artie Neisen, that has, hung high on the walls, many original Mosrite guitars purchased by Artie's father during the Mosrite bankruptcy sale. Also, Ed Elliott who once worked at Mosrite, is still in business building these legendary guitars.

In 1965 the Ventures had a nation wide contest by naming all their albums I entered at Lisbon’s music in Inglewood California I won the West coast and a person in Ohio won for the East. I got to meet the ventures at a recording studio in Hollywood during the making of Knock Me Out album quite an experience at the time the guitar was $400 my parents had to borrow the money for the sales tax

Very excellently done.😉

I was born in Bakersfield, and I've been eying a (left-handed) Mostrite-like guitar for some years now.

I've always wanted a univox mosrite copy, always liked the way they felt and played, and that want has only gotten stronger since my univox u65rn has become my main guitar amp sadly with the way prices keep going I'll probably never be able to achieve this dream, but i can still always dream
