It should also be said that Les was indirectly responsible for the Mosrite octave neck. A young Semie Moseley was infatuated with Les's super-high, super-fast leads (a product of recording innovation), and whether out of ignorance or homage Semie felt this sonic novelty required a super-high, super-fast guitar. And voila, the Mosrite doubleneck/tripleneck was born. So without Les, Mosrite might've just been another whitebread guitar company; thanks to Les, Mosrite will forever and always be resigned to the oddball files...

...and I don't think I'm alone in saying I wouldn't rather be anywhere else.

Thank you, Les.

Yep, and good on ya Adam, me of all people I completely spaced out on the Les Paul connection to the Mosrite doubleneck! Thanks for pointing that out, that is so true....and relevant to the forum!
