MOSRITE CUSTOM JM-65 Dbl BOUND AND MOSRITE AMP @ JONAS RIDGE

[Veenture]

I knew someday I would want a complete record of activity at Jonas Ridge. Semie actually is in a lot of them....//...Semie made sure as we all did to make a complete photo record of every step on the construction of the big guitar. There are well over 100-150 photo's. From the slection of the wood to drawings to all phases
of the hand and machine work sanding, routing, primer, painting, finish work etc. it's all been recorded on film. EF

...rubbing my hands together now in anticipation of what might still come on the Forum!...

Elaine,
Like has been stated by so many others, your posts are incredible. I've been quietly following everything in amazement. How many JM-65 Double Bounds did Semie make? The one you are playing in the pictures looks like Larry Collins' guitar.

Dear strat-o-rama. When Loretta showed me the books on the JM-65 there were
less then 20. The numbers are straight 1 to about 15 then there are blanks left open.
My guess three years later Loretta may have sold some numbers I am not aware
of. Lets just say for now maybe 15- 16 without bindings which are standard plus the one
standard and two Custom's I had made and the second prototype Semie gave me in late 1986 early 1987. ROSE LEE MAPHIS HAS THE FIRST PROTOTYPE. The one bound JM that Buddy Dugi got from Loretta and the one I got for Brian Lonbeck and Terry did Custom work on. I would say 20-21 maybe out there.I am sure Loretta would tell you. If I run into her I will ask. I Know of only three BOUND.
