Hello from McKinney, TX!

Hello Group,

Happy to join the ranks here!
Long-time guitarist and fan of Mosrite and Ventures.
I own 2 Mosrites: The first I believe to be a 1966 Ventures Model.
The second a Japanese Combo, maybe from the '70s?

The Ventures guitar sounds and plays beautifully! I was fortunate enough to meet Dana Moseley
at one of Deke Dekerson's Guitar Geek Festivals and she generously offered to set-up and tweak my
Mosrite. I sent it to her and she did a great job!

I look forward to learning from everybody here.

Thanks,

Andy Timmons

Welcome to the forum, Andy! How do you like the Combo? I have a Mo' Combo that is a joy to play - if the copy is one of the early Firstman copies, it's probably as close as you get to the real thing. My early Japanese copy of the MK I actually plays as good as, and may sound better than (sacrilege!!) some of my Mosrites!
Enjoy the company while you're among us.
Dennis

Thanks Dennis,

To be honest I haven't played the combo much. Definitely will need some TLC :)
I do have it proudly displayed in my studio as I had Nokie sign it here in Dallas during his
70th Birthday celebration at the now closed Hard Rock Cafe.

Will post photos asap.

Mosrite Forever!

Andy

Hi and welcome. How do Combos sound? Kinda like an ES-335 compared to a Les Paul?
