Welcome, Greg. 40 forums... Darn! I'm registered to maybe 12 different guitar related forums and I only go to three on a regular basis and this is one of them. So do you have any Mosrite guitars?

Actually yes a 72 Mosrite Bass and a 65 Ventures in white , I am trying to upload a avatar ,It is sized right but for some reason it will not load? As far as time well I run a huge specialty print shop so I forum room at work, as well as run a guitar business, write a monthly article "The Vintage Guitar News and Views", have a family ,just became a grampy and still find time to play my guitars....

Welcome to this forum Greg.
Maybe a difficult question; what's your favourite type of (stringed) instrument and which brand(s)?

No quite easy actually, I started collecting R.G. and G. "The Grammer Guitar" 18 or so years ago, I massed the largest collection this side of Billy Grammer's factory,eventually sold most of them , got them listed in the vintage guitar price guide and have one of my first, it is my go to acoustic any day of the week, Electric wise, I do have a 52 Les Paul, but I am leaning to a custom build Les Paul styled guitar from my personal luthier. I have not really found THE guitar electric wise per say, as I post more and become more involved here and it is seen I am a guitar lover as well as buyer and seller I will place some links( if the members do not object ) So you can take a gander at what I happen to have at the moment.

Ah, Greg ...a classic white Ventures '65 and a '72 Bass in the Mosrite ballpark, that's super.
Your Grammer guitar is looking very special. I like the way the bridge design 'interacts' with the shape of the pick guard and also the neck-end of the fingerboard. I bet she plays and sounds real nice. But a '52 les Paul ...that must take the cake.
I'ts good for players to have a bunch of guitars; like flowers in a vase, they need each other's company

The headstocks are cool also.

Thanks .

[Veenture]

Wow, wonderful picture. Those headstocks look very Mosritey too and it's the first time that I've seen a dot marker on the very first fret

Not sure about the rock field............wait a min there might not have been a rock field back then.....anyways they were popular with a lot of the country stars back in the day.
