Greetings from Finland

[Latvis]

Hi,

I am Finnish DIY-musician, record collector, photographer and luthier etc. I have been maintained the oldest internet music portal/database in Finland since 1994. I have build over 30 guitars, mostly my own design and with them I have done about 1000 lo-fi home recordings.

All the best

Welcome to the Mosrite Forum Latvis. Some sweet and interesting sounding music from "a modest one-man-band" I'm hearing! An impressive collection of self-made guitars too you have there

So, how did Mosrite come 'into the picture' with you?

[MWaldorf]

Welcome to the forum. Those are some very cool guitars you've built!

Welcome Latvis to the Forum. As Paul and Mel had mentioned, great music and an incredible
collection of 'original design' guitars that you have built and brought to life ......

[GattonFan]

Welcome - and you have reason to be proud of your work. Unique designs and good craftsmanship!

At first many thanks for nice feedback to everybody.

Unfortunately my native language is not english... so sorry for poor output.
To be honest I am much better (rock festival) photographer, graphic designer and webmaster that guitar player or luthier. Luckily I have some imagination because I have never learn to play guitar with more than two fingers (so some of my songs are hardly above jokes). If I count all days together I have (try to) play guitar in my life it must be about 2 years and I have try to build guitars now for 3 years. I lose my interest (and track) very quick so hour per day playing / one minute per song is a chance and I usually build guitar to prototype level in 2 days and if it looks like a guitar I leave it and start another project. Quantity or Quality has never been a question to me

So, how did Mosrite come 'into the picture' with you?

First came music of course. Frijid Pink's version of The House of the rising sun changed my life and another very first songs I try to learn in early 70s was "All my loving" and "Walk don't run". The latter was very popular song here because the most popular Finnish band HURRIGANES played and recorder it in early 70s. Their studio version of this song is super! Their guitarist Albert Järvinen (R.I.P. died in London 1991, same Hotel as Hendrix) was much better guitar player then than anybody else in the whole world! Believe me. Check out at least their album "Roadrunner". So Ventures is the main reason I checked out Mosrite and of course I was Ramones fan and Finnish ramopunk band Ne Luumäet also use Mosrite guitar. My first electric guitar was Vox Spitfire Mk V (Made in UK 1966). Check out http://guitarz.blogspot.com/search/label/Vox

Unfortunately I have never own Mosrite guitars, I have not even have one clones in my hands. (I can adopt one here to good home for free of course so take contact

My next project might be a "mosritele"... It might be a sin but as you guess I transform those both classics to one, drawn a plan already and wait for two dark autumn nights to give monster a birth
