mosriteforum.com

Hello all, I'm the new guy from Cherry Valley, CA. I fell across this site after messing around this weekend. I actually can't even remember what linked me here. My first intro to Mosrite was when I was just starting out playing guitar as a teen, my aunt's husband had a bunch that were supposedly actual guitars belonging to The Ventures. I'm pretty inclined to believe it because Gerry "borrowed" my aunt's early Squire Strat (which I now own) for a tour of Japan and upon return, signed it. He somehow loved how it played.

Anyway, I plan on making a Mosrite soon. I was really inspired by the photo tour that Ed Elliot posted and it really seems possible.

Thanks for all the info that I've been reading over the past week and I look forward to learning more.

Welcome to the forum, Brian.

Welcome to the forum. You wouldn't happen to have photos of your aunt's husband's guitars?

hi Brian.....welcome to the forum.....glad you stumbled upon us.....such a great forum with lots of info, photos, and "how to's" posts. You're in good company as there are some other luthiers here in the forum as well who have built their own Mosrites......

I enjoyed reading your interesting intro Brian, welcome to the forum. And yes, what Mel said ...we love photo's

Hello Brian! This is a great forum! And ditto to above...pictures are always good!

Sadly, I don't have any pics. I was young then and did not ever imagine myself being in the position to make my own guitars or ever fall so far in love with Mosrites.

I also didn't mention earlier out of fear of being lynched, that as a teen I ruined the signed pickguard from Gerry. I kick myself in the butt on a regular basis for that.

Welcome Brian, what kinda Telecasters you got.
