http://www.kurosawagakki.com/items/detail/113627.html Seems to be Jazzmaster inspired ...

this link should translate the site .... http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... ogle.co.uk it's listed five rows down . I've never seen one like this , tell me what you think .... about as close to a Mosrite as an English Muffin is to dear old Blighty I've never seen one in the UK .

Just couldn't get the pictures to display .. but they are only a click away !



Hehe ! At least you get a picture of English Muffins .... The headstock on the guitar seems a bit Explorer-like as well .. I suppose it kind of fits the look of a surf guitar at least!

I think that's a variation on a Yamaha guitar. There are a number of completely non-Mosrite designs with Mosrite logos made in Japan over the years, including Fender and Gibson knock-offs. I suspect they were made for the home market, not for import.

Why even bother calling it a Mosrite? I know, $$$.Re. English muffins: Juan, you don't know what you're missing. Not a scone, not a bagel...how do you guys do eggs Benedict? A nice toasted Thomas' English muffin with butter dripping into all those nooks and crannies-I'd rather have that than that guitar!

That is about as close to a Yamaha SG-3 as you can get, but does seem to have Mosrite style knobs and a zero fret(which the Yamaha had) Link Wray played an SG-2, which is the same guitar but with a single coil in the bridge instead. The Yamaha also had the serial # in the same place as a Mosrite.

Link had some interesting internal mods done to his for distortion/fuzz, there was a huge difference in tone when he had to switch to another guitar. I had hope that Yamaha would have done a tribute guitar to him. Oh well.

Cool guitar though, even if it isn't a Mosrite.

I remember seeing a white Yamaha SG 3 on the Guitarpunk site years ago with a Mosrite logo on the headstock and the heading: 'Bold new design from Mosrite.'
Yeah right.

English muffins with butter....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Further on the muffin theme .. especially to Elliot ... we do have an alternative , the attractively named Crumpet ! That's what we lightly toast and then butter ! They seem designed to hold butter like a sponge There's always time for a bit of crumpet !


Back to guitars ... possibly less fun than food

Thanks for the replies , sometimes I post and then have to go hide !

to me it looks like they're the same product, just a different name!

You can't beat Vegemite on toast!
