I bought the guitar to help a guy out and because it's sort of an "odd ball".. I love that sort of thing.

Don't know what I'll do with it.. I might put it back in the closet for awhile.. I might sell it if I could get 500.00 or so out of it.. and it was someone that REALLY collected Mosrite guitars and appreciated the history.

I appreciate your feedback..

Okay, don't you dare sell it without me giving it a shot! It's too close to a Celebrity for me to let it go. :mrgreen: PM me if you are serious about wanting to sell it and we'll see if we can strike a deal. :D

It would need some work... the strap peg on the horn needs replaced and the back is coming loose from the binding on the tailpiece end.
It could be fixed relatively easy.. It plays nice.. the action is awesome... but don't know if it would be a "player".. more of a conversation piece..

My interest is more in preserving it than playing it. I'm not short of guitars to play! :mrgreen: We have excellent folks on the forum who can perform such a restoration as well as my guitar tech who is one of the best in the business.

Hey, Sarah--

>>the strap peg on the horn needs replaced and the back is coming loose from the binding . . .

I don't know. If it is messed up THAT bad, you had best buy the guitar and then give it to me to keep under my bed for safekeeping.

When the archeologists find it there 500 years from now, they can fix it.

--Jim, always helpful

my tech is Tim Gibson in Camarillo. He is awesome and does a lot of big named artists gear. If that's not too far for you I can give you his number. He's gone 1 week a month doing the inlay work for Martin's high end guitars so you have to be a little bit patient sometimes. I'm never in a hurry so I don't mind waiting a week to get something done.

Do I smell a "Mosrite Forum Only" auction for this puppy?
