As far as the blue one goes, the metal flake one isn't here yet but I will try to get a pic up of the other one. I purchased it from someone on here who is actually the one who tipped me off to this forum. I think they may have only made two blue ones in that run as the serial # is 2 of 2. I was looking at some reviews on Harmony Central and it appears someone on there has 1 of 1 in blue.


That cant be possible, I've seen more than 2 blue mosrites. In old pictures with john still alive from with Fillmore and John signing blue Mosrites at Ed Roman's. Ed roman also has a few pics with some blue ones in them. And Hi-Tone Music had like 3 of them. Theres also the one hanging from Front Porch music's wall.

Welcome, Please tell us about your 88 model. (I'm not too savvy about all the models but looking at your avatar, Isn't that a V88 since it has a pickguard?) I heard good things about the 88 models, Regardless of which model it is. They were improved versions of the Mark I, right?

This is the blue one. It's part of a weird early run that I don't think was done by Fillmore. Also, the blue is a little weird looking which doesn't show so much in the picture.

That is an M88 in the picture. When I got it the tuners had been changed to Grovers and it had already been refretted. It almost looks like it could have been refinished too. There's a chip missing which shows a big spot of red underneath. Ah, great, this board is already making me late for work. Hope those links to photos work.

Ok, until I get the hang of posting pics better I'll do this for now, it's the album of almost all of my guitars, some of which I no longer have.

Mosrite of Classics with the pickups done Johnny style. I scored it cheap so I figured it would be good to just do it up in the Johnny "I don't give a rat's butt" style.

The M88 and the mini. M88 signed by Semie and it has been altered a bit, but for the better, love this one! If I were to sell all of them but one this would be the keeper. I did wind up removing the girly sewing pattern thing that was on there.

The baritone is awesome, a bit of a tank to hang onto but it's great nonetheless.

I believe the '65 MKI reissue is missing from the album but I'm sure we've all seen what those look like. Anyway, there's a bunch of other stuff in there too, some interesting, some, not so much. If any of y'all are on facebook and want to friend me there feel free.

Oh, you may be right about it being a V88. I thought the V88 had a german carve though. Also, if you check out the pics, be sure to check out the Deke Hallmark I recently got. I officially love Hallmark, that guitar is awesome, sounds great, feels great, looks great, I really love that one!
