Mosrites (& other guitars) of Johnny Ramone

Postby Chemo » Mon Jan 26, 2009 9:23 am

I already posted this link in the Ramones topic, but I thought that this might be an interesting link for Mosrite fans who are not Ramones fans as well. So, here's a nice presentation of Mosrites and other guitars used by Johnny Ramone:

This concludes my report from outer space. Now, back to studio!

Great stuff! I love the '59-ish Rickenbacker 450 that "mysteriously" wound up with Robin Zander. :lol:

Robin Zander still plays this guitar at pretty much every show they do. Check them out when you can, they are better live now than they ever were. Zander is a phenominal r&r singer, imo, nice guy too. They have also used Mosrites on their albums on more than one occasion.

I have Robin Zanders home address. I say we all start mailing him letters demanding he return that guitar to the estate of John Cummings (AKA Johnny Ramone)!
In order of purchase:

Johnny and Robin crossed paths more than once after the guitar "mysteriously" disappeared, it either wasn't Johnnys guitar or, he sold it to him. I saw both bands at Lollapalooza outside Chicago in 96, no reports of a fight and Robin had the guitar there.
