Blue & White MK1 Inspired Copy

Hi everybody,
On my introduction thread, other posters and I found that we always thought of Mosrite as the Jaguar of guitars. I was on a photo-shoot of a Jaguar that I've been involved with, in the past. It is a 1980 SCCA national champion. I couldn't resist taking a few photos of my scratch-built Mosrite styled guitar. I would like to have used a real Mosrite, but, for artistic reasons, I chose to use the blue and white to match the car.
The body and neck are maple, the headstock is teak veneer, the knobs are also teak. The pick-ups are Eastwood. I was advised by other guitar players not to use maple for the body so I couldn't resist doing the opposite. I'm glad I did, because the guitar has a bright, jewel-like tone... which is good for playing surf tunes. lol

P.S. Still working on the wrecked '67 Mosrite Celebrity III, hope to get photos up soon.
