Thanks for the comments, Eyan! I still think this was an amazing find - one of the lightest, and sweetest playing Mosrites I have. There seems to be tremendous variances in the weights of these guitars - my blue one feels like a Les Paul ... this one like a feather.

on both my mosrites i had to turn them backwards because the acorn nuts rubbed against the pickup and affected the use of the trem. maybe it was a mistake at the factory, but i find it strange that both my guitars had the same issue

i found out that having the phillips screws towards the neck made it very easy to intonate. just lower the pickup and have at it. when i'm done, i just raise the pickup back in place.

It's great to hear you're enjoying the guitar so much. I know I did for the 30 minutes I played it, and I know I would never have the dough at one time to buy it. So I'm happy to know someone on the forum got it- to play it!
