New to group & Finally posting!

Postby Eric » Wed Nov 26, 2008 5:45 pm

Hi All! I'm Eric. I'm a longtime Mosrite fan. From Johnny Ramone to the Ventures I love em' all! I'm the proud owner of a Fillmore Mosrite. Yeah, I know, but it suits my novice needs. I'll be traveling to Japan soon for work related reasons & may consider another purchase. I hope all of you can steer me in the right direction with my questions once I start looking at Mosrite models early next year.

Welcome aboard, Eric - that Fillmore is a beautiful guitar. Fillmores get a bit of a bad rap around here because of their US distributor's strong personality, but some of the ones I've had a chance to play were fine guitars.

Hey there Eric! Welcome to the forum. That's a really nice Mosrite you got there. I'm sure you'll find this page to have a wealth of information to educate you on your next purchase. Where abouts are you from? Kevin

Welcome to the forum.

That is a beautiful guitar and as far as I know, I've never heard anything bad about Fillmore Mosrites. I think most of us love all Mosrites regardless of manufacture.

Hi Eric, Welcome to the Club! That's one Gorgeous Blue on that Beast.
Is that what they refer to as a Blue Sparkle Finish, or is it a Metal Flake Blue??
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

That would be the "Sparkle Blue!" I replaced the tremolo with one off of the Hallmark 60s Custom. The flimsy Fillmore arm was my only gripe about this beauty.

Hey Eric, when you get a chance, fill out your location on your profile. I think there's
one or two Virginians already on the Forum ;) .

Welcome, Eric! PM me if you need some suggestions for your Japan trip. I'd be happy to help.

Cheers,
