Hi guy's spent all day to-day at the drafting board re doing the scale on the clone. Changed from a 23 3/4" to a 23.5" Your suposeto get more of bell sound, and clearer high mid and low range tones, more to come as it progresses. It's all about the twang sound right! :)

Hi Dennis, yup, it's a lefty, its going to be a gift to my nephew,who is a music major in collegue, and will be graduating some time soon. He plays guitar real good, has a strat his mom bought him years ago, and has no idea what a mosrite is hopefully this build comes out ok, and he'll never go back to a fender, not that it isn't a good guitar, I just think mosrite's are better all around. Thanks for the complements. Al :D

Hay Sarah, how it goin, good I hope. Yeah I like to build them just for kix's. Some day I'll get much better, like they say practice makes perfect. I'm good at furnitute, so I thought I'ed try something alittle different, always wanted to do this, but never had the time now I do, and I am. Thanks for the complement, be talking to you soon. :) Al
