Hello everybody

Postby mikethemod1992 » Wed Aug 18, 2010 4:24 pm

My name is Mick Casanova (yes, for real), im 18 years old and i live in Atlanta,Georgia. I was first introduced to Mosrites at age 5 when my dad spun his Ventures:Live in Japan 64 vinyl.(which i still listen to on a fairly regular basis) When i started playing guitar at age 14, i'd sadly forgotten about them. Now that ive landed on my style (60s garage/surf/mod/etc) this is one of the guitars that would suit my sound perfectly. Im strictly a Rickenbacker/Gretsch/Epiphone/Mosrite guy. I am in Luthier School at the moment, and i will be moving to australia in a year or two. Im sure we all know Tym's guitars, haha. I hope to be his apprentice, or at least learn something from him. Id love to build my own ventures model..... :). Anyways, ill quit boring you. But it's nice to be here, and im sure ill learn alot from you guys. cheers

Welcome to the forum, Mick. It would seem that we have some things in common: We're both under 20 years old and we're both interested in Lutherie and Mosrite guitars. Heh. Have you refretted any necks?

I've refretted several guitars, Sometime in the last two weeks I was working on a First Act and it was going great until I decided to put superglue underneath the frets which turned the job into a mess and caused some frets to spring up. I haven't fixed that yet.

Superglue eh? What were you doing before that? I always wet the frets and put wood glue over the top of it
