How many of you play ONLY a Mosrite?

Postby GTSP » Sun May 30, 2010 5:44 am

When I sold my Gibson SG Standard, it left me with only Mosrite guitars (see list below in my signature). How many of ya'll play only Mosrites now for your electric guitars? My acoustic is a Martin, but as soon as I can get my hands on a Mosrite acoustic, that may go the way of the doe-doe too.
In order of purchase:
1) Mosrite Ranger
2) V88
3) Stereo 350
4) Hallmark II in Johnny Blue
5) Danelectro '66
6) Celebrity III
7) Hallmark Gospel
8) Serenade
9) Eastwood 300

Interesting question. I'd say that I play my Mosrites 95% of the time. I've got my 60s parts-Jazzmaster (with three pickups, who knew?) that I won't sell. I've also got an AVRI Jaguar (ditto on the p-ups) that I've been considering selling. Since I put the M3 split coil RH-100s in my Mosrite it can cover all the sonic territory I'm after, so I've been pretty content playing the one guitar.

I play my mosrites also probably 95% of the time like Mel but I do enjoy my other guitars, and wouldn't sell them unless I needed the money. as far as I'm concerned if you are a lover of vintage instruments, you have to have a place in your heart for the 50's and 60's Fenders and Gibsons, even if they do play second fiddle to a Mosrite ;)

Today I played "Mosrite" 100% on my Hallmark 60 Custom during an annual guitar event in Haarlem with the re-grouped members of our band for the occasion :D

I guess I fall in the same category as oipunkguy and 'Tri-Powered Mel' .
Mel will always 'Tri' to install 3 pick-ups on ANY of his guitars :shock: LOL).
I still have my other guitars as well as a lot of you folks, but 95% of the
time (maybe more), 2 Mo's will always leave my home to go to the gig ;)
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

not.

i am married to one woman. 15 years and happily so.

i will not tie myself down to one guitar though. that's crazy talk.

if i could only play one? ouch.....


i never play my (squier) strat anymore.

when i am in the mood to play surf, i play the mos.

when i am into playing country....i play a partscaster(tele)

i am in the process of designing and building a guitar that is a cross between both.

i even have three steels..but only room to keep one set up.....

I do! Started out playing a Epi les paul from about 2006-2008. Then I bought the Johnny Ramone signature model and gave the Epi to my brother. And this Christmas I got a hold of a sunburst Fillmore Mark II deluxe with a moseley trem which has been my main squeeze since then. So, not owning any other guitar brands I don't really have a choice. And I like it that way. :D
They serve me very well. In my eyes, they get the job done on everything from AC/DC and Zeppelin to The Ventures and Albert King and pretty much everything else you throw at it.

I rotate all 4 of my guitars but I think my Gretsch 6122-58 gets a bit more time than the rest. The other 3 get close to equal time with each other.
