Did someones say " after five there's no return"?
Well I just picked up Mosrite#5 — a beautiful candy apple red Ex 65— and I don't wanna go back!

It was me said that....
Yeah, after my fifth guitars (don't remember which one and how long ago?) There is no return, I just kept on going... going... going... Now the number is 50.. (not all Mosrites though) I just bought two more vintage Les Pauls today.
But I have also sold more than 40 guitars so far. Still, "Hopeless!" My wife said...
Mosman, Congratulations! Welcome to the "No return" Club.

Is this five at one time or five cumulatively? I guess I'm guilty on both counts!

Hey Desert Surfer it's good to reach five but as I've just seen a nice white Mosrite Avenger on the Tym Guitars site,I think I might be about to graduate.Add to that the fact that just three days after I scored the red Ex 65, I traded a guitar ( not a Mosrite) for what is now my very first Fender Jaguar.I have had a self imposed ' one in one out ' rule for some time now that requires me to get rid of one guitar before I buy another, but now I'm down to my 'keepers' and that rule may have to bend a little.So much for discipline eh?
Although now that I know how many guitars you have I might have to review the rule altogether. No sense being over restrictive I reckon.
Will the temptations never end?
I hope not!!

I don't think I can ever sneak into the house and get through my wife with 5 guitar at one time.

"One out & One in"; that's by my wife's rule... but I learnt to bend the rule, I have 50 excuses and many hidden places...
Seriously, I will shop around more since the "Mosrite" name is open in Japan now, the prices may drop and more choices in sight....
Good luck!
