SEMIE MOSELEY IN SPRAY BOOTH 1984 JONAS RIDGE, NC.

Postby EF@MosriteRecords » Sat Jan 09, 2010 7:38 pm

Hi to all.

strat o rama wrote on another thread I believe. The comment was no one posts any picture's of Semie spraying. Now I don't know how rare or how many exist. I post these photo's of Semie Moseley at Jonas Ridge, NC. He is shown spraying that famous early
three color. In these photo's speak for themselves. In the first one he is shown
spraying the back of my MOS-RITE SPECIAL. The next two are body and necks.

Hope this might be of interest early 1984.

Thanks Elaine! I've always loved Semie's 3 tone bursts and their variations. People think I'm crazy, but I do see a difference from all other guitar makers, like Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, and Gretsch(not too many 3 tone bursts-but you get the idea). I also like the Cherryburst and a style of burst Semie did on occasion that is more on the reddish purple side--sort of like what Rickenbacker does.
