Mosrite-ish trem on eBay

[BlackieOnasis]

Comparing it to Ludo's measurement's here
http://www.mosriteforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4772&p=52668#p52668
His measurement of 57mm for the string retention bar (proper term?) jives with the eBay knockoff. That bar is just short of 10mm thick on the eBay knockoff, so it's pretty close to Ludo's measurement there, too.

Can anyone confirm the string spread on a real Mosrite trem?

1 3/4" on my '66 Joe Maphis with Mosley trem.

Thanks! I'm not going to be using this right away, so if anyone wants more detailed pictures or measurements, just let me know.

Great info guys! I just won a Mosrite style left hand body and Lh pick guard that I will turn in to a right hand body just for a different look ala the Hendrix strat. The term looks nice but had considered a hallmark term....but at half the price looks interesting. Whaddya think?

I'd like to see them keep the price in that $70.00 range. I don't see Hallmark lowering their price, but the other may want to raise theirs. It looks great.

OK, on with the pictures!



Might look good on an SG . . .

You know, that does look nice and replacing the tail-stop, with the Mosrite style bridge, would be a clean conversion, without any holes to plug, or showing.

Wow, just checked these out again on ebay, was gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on this vibrato unit/bridge for what was originally listed at "buy it now" for 70 bucks, but the "buy it now" price has jumped to $420.00!!!! Think I'll pass and go to Hallmark!

Looks like he's selling them as a lot of 7 units.

[BlackieOnasis]

Yeah, I asked him about that. That auction is for a specific buyer who asked for a lot of 7. He says individual units will be available for sale again soon.

[BRRanger]

Ah, thanks for clarifying...I misread it as 7 left in stock.
