In case anybody likes country twin guitar on a Mosrite...

I finally played the Mosrite Stereo 350 on another gig and I'm really starting to like it... I wouldn't say that I like it more than my Joe Maphis model, but it really does play nice adn with a wider neck. They are both great and now I have to struggle with which guitar to bring to shows...
Anyway,this tune is a cover of the Joe Maphis and Larry Collins twin guitar duet from 1957 - Early American... That EP they put out on Columbia (with Skeets McDonald and Johnny Bond backing them) is amazing: Rockin' Gypsy, Hurricane, Early American and Bye Bye. This is probably my favorite record ever pressed...
Regarding the thread about this purchase (I found this guitar through the forum... many thanks!!), I put my name on the pickguard finally, but used stickers that fell off shortly after the gig. I kinda like the look of the sparkly stickers and will probably keep using them until I have a custom pickguard replacement built...

Anyway, enjoy...
-Nate

Great playin' Nate! ...good to know folks like yourself are keeping this genre of music alive. The stand up bass is coming through nicely too. Thanks for posting ;)

That's excellent Nate! When was that? I used to go to the Midway a bunch in the 90's for The Racketeers, Spurs, etc. I saw you at The Plough last year when Laura was visiting. I also know Tony from way back in my brief time at Berklee.
