New member! Young Swedish Mosrite fanatic.

Welcome to the forum, I agree Mosrite's are the best looking guitar ever made.
I remember when I was 18 and wanted a Mosrite ( Boy was that a long long time ago...)
But the recognition of Mosrite's is still the same now as it was in the 60's.

Welcome to the forum, John! Glad to have you aboard, Now I don't feel so alone here being 18 years old myself. What other music do you listen to? I've taken a liking to the band XTC recently, It took me time to like them but it's been rewarding.

Austin

Thanks! =)

Yeah it's nice to find someone else in your own age who are into mosrites.

I'm listening to all kinds of things really. All sorts of genres. I don't really know what I like in the songs I like, but I know when it's there.

I checked XTC out. They seem to have good songs!

Take care!

That's nice to hear!

Yeah, to me there's just no other guitar out there that makes me feel that special unexplainable feeling when you play it.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum! I wish this website was around when I was 18, I would have probably bought a mosrite a lot sooner then I did.

Speaking of things Swedish, I've got Hagstrom II from the 60's that I just love. Its in excellent++ shape and has the legendary fast neck and intermittant switches.

The fastest neck that I have EVER seen on a guitar was on a Hagstrom, with the back covered in red vinyl, that a guy gave me in college.

I ruined the guitar by trying to remove the plastic to varnish the wood under it, which was really ugly.

But that guitar really had a slim, fast neck on it.

Several times I have almost bought one of the Hagstrom vintage basses, which have such a great retro look to the controls and such.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I have also grown fond of some vintage Hagstrom guitars.
Some look very cool. But I've never actually held one with that legendary fast neck.
Only the new reproduction Swedes which I think did not feel that fast.

Didn't rhythm guitarist Bo Starander (stage name Bob Lander) of THE SPOTNICKS have a Hagstrom in the sixties? It looked like a Les Paul, right? He put out some pretty neat rhythm parts with it on the Spotnicks' recordings
I don't think this famous Swedish group ever played on Mosrites...too bad.

It would make a lot of sense. Yep. The "Swede" models all look somewhat like a LP.
I know of the Spotnicks too. And as you said, it's a shame they never used them. I'd love them spreading the Mosrite brand even more.
And I think it would fit nicely into their sound.

The Hellacopters lead singer Nicke Andersson use Mosrites from time to time though.

One of my all time favourite bands and homeland heroes of mine.

Hey, thanks for the vids. They sound great! Love the white Mosrite, also.
