Anyone know where to find a good condition Morales Mosrite?

Postby WagonTrain » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:17 pm

Hey guys. I'm trying hard to find a morales mosrite in good shape? Anyone have any for sale or can anyone point me to a website that has one for sale? Thanks.
I'm also interested in any firstman clones anyone might be able to point me to. Want a good mosrite style guitar but can't be paying 3 grand + for the reissues.

Hallmark Custom 60 is what you want. Look them up and check them out.

I agree the Hallmark is a good alternative. If you really want a Firstman or Morales, try this seller on Ebay. I've bought two Guyatones from him this year and is a good seller. He's had several Firstmans and Morales Mosrite clones for sale this year.
Make him an offer. :D

Another potential source: Didn't someone who's on this forum recently start up a Japan-based guitar sales operation? Sorry that I'm so bad with names, but I seem to remember that he started right about the time the terrible earthquake occurred over there.

If my memory is correct, he might be another source of a Morales or Firstman instrument if they are more common there than in the states.

Thanks guys. I tried that ebay seller a few days ago but he hasn't replied to my emails. I guess I"ll still be searching around the forum and ebay and wait till something comes up. The Hallmarks look great but I'm not generally big on body binding and set necks.
