I learned playing the guitar from the "Play with the Ventures" albums and playing
by ear on their many songs. I have been a Mosrite fan ever since. Back in the old days
when I played professionally in a local band in the late 60's/early 70's that preformed at
colleges and nightclubs I played bass. Unfortunately my gear was Gibson EBO and Kustom
200 with 2 cabinets with 3 15" JBL's in each cabinet. I wish I had a Mosrite, I remember
walking in a music shop in 1969, there was a blue Mosrite for $400.00 and like a idiot
I didn't bite, of course back then that was a lot of money .
Of course you grow up and get married and your have to work for a living. Over the years
I acquired drums sets, acoustic guitars, synthesizers and added a 66 Gibson SG. and recorded
my own stuff on my trusty Teac 3340s multi track.
But being married, having a kid, a mortgage and paying for college, I sold all of my stuff over the years.
Now I wish I could have it all back. ( remember that for all you youngsters)
Now all I have is my Teac and a Yamaha PSR8000 to record some tracks on.
I would still love to have a original Mosrite, but the cost is to much to explain to
wife and I don't like sleeping with the dog. So I have been looking at Hallmark Custom 60
as a substitute.
Question, I notice a true Mosrite has a bolt-on-neck, while the Hallmark is set-in neck, can anyone
tell me if there is true difference of tone or reliability.
Thanks for any info and let's keep Semie Moseley best looking guitar in the world forum going.
