Now we all know this is a Mosrite forum, but in all fairness how many of us have other guitars?

I have to admit that my main guitars have always been ( and we be) Fenders. Actually other than my custom built guitars, I still prefer to play Fender Jazzmaster's and Stratocasters. Mosrite's have the best aesthetics and sound, but I never did care for the speed fretted neck. That's how I came about building my own. When I had my '66 I debated on refretting it but couldn't bring myself to defacing a Mosrite. So my other option was to clone the Mosrite and install standard frets. That served my purpose well except when I play different styles of music. For blues and jazz, I opt for the fender Strat. For surf music I'll use my Mosrite clones or Jazzmaster's.

So, what else do you play?

I like to use these to play:

Surf: Mosrite, Mosrite Clones, Fender Jazzmaster, Jaguar
Country: Fender Telecaster, Gretsch G6120DE, Tennesseans & Roudup
Blues: Gibson ES335
Rock: Gibson LP, SG, Rickenbacker for Beatles'
Heavy Metal: Ear plugs

That's great. Also I like your Avatar, but shouldn't that ocean be sand?

I have a "Mojave Desert" Avatar but it was a little too big for your size limit. I will reduce it and use it in the future. Besides, I am still in Lake country, not in the desert yet..

I'm a new Mosrite owner, bought a beautiful Excellent sunburst a couple weeks ago. Now it's hard to play my other guitars! Which are a ocean turquoise jag, Gretsch 6120 DSV and 6120N. I may have to give up the DSV as I don't play it much. I suppose a Combo could one day take its place....
