Not that it matters what I think, but to me, it would make more sense for Dana's guitars to be labelled similarly to the early 70s models, with "Mosrite of California" followed with "by Dana Moseley"

Hey, Mel--

That makes perfect sense, if she can legally do it.

I never could understand the logic or grammar, for that matter, of "Mosrite of Originals."

Artie,
In the least they should let you sell guitars that say "Mosrite (purchased in) California" on the headstock. :)

Mel,
I agree 100%!


JimPage,
I think something gets lost in the translation."Mosrite of Originals" makes no sense in English to me :(

Hey, Mark--

RE: Mosrite of Originals

It's a head scratcher, for sure!

That is a great idea, Mel.
Someone should point this out to Dana, and perhaps she could inform Mr Yusa. If it can be done legally, it would be much better marketing.

OK, but if she goes with the idea, I get a guitar with said logo as a token of gratitude, right? ;)

I made a mockup using an early 70s Celebrity and emailed it to her. I didn't get the font right but the idea is there.

That's a pretty good mockup, Mel!!!

Hope that Dana is able to use it.
