........................how's that??? ................

I'd want Semie to build me this '59 Joe Maphis model. Course I would want it built in 1959, not a reissue.

besides wanting what both Danny and Dennis described, I'd want a sunburst sidejack with a vibramute (with mute!), and three pickups. And, of course, speed frets!

My baritone/standard doubleneck-Joe Maphis early solid body style.(Bari:30 in scale, standard:24 and 3 quarters)
Body-select lightweight swamp ash. Finished in nitrocellulose laquer sunburst-same color as Larry Collins' '88
Sidejack w. triple style binding (like the early JM solids)
Frets-vintage, like Fender
Nut width-same as Fender "B" on both necks.
Necks_ maple set neck with Indian rosewood fretboard

Mine you be as follows.
Body: Ventures style with c/b/c binding, routed for one pickup. Finished in nitrocellulose green metal flake.
Neck: Set maple with modern C neck profile, rosewood fretboard with my name inlaid and c/b/c binding, medium frets.
Pickups: One mosrite pickup
Electronics: CTS pots and sprauge caps switchcraft jack.
Pickguard set up: 1 volume and 1 tone cream pickguard.
Bridge: Mosely tremolo with roller bridge.
Misc, Hardware: Grover tuners, bone nut, spun mosrite knobs, ernie ball super slinky strings.

An off-the-shelf '63 Sidejack, in "like new" condition, would work for me.

mine would have to a 1966 double neck red with black pick ups and tortoise pick guard. hum-bucking pick-ups on the 6 string and single-coils on the 12 string and red head stocks black logo... plus the boost buttons, and coil splitter buttons.........darn that sounds awesome

I want a new one just like this!

Danny: How long ago did you get that pic of Joe Maphus and his Mosrite? I have looked at a couple of times here before I realized where it came from. That store is located about 20 minutes away from me. They have some great guitars there but almost all are priced out of my reach.
