Hey Sixstringer, welcome on board this ship with a majority of sixstring sailors here. It's a good thing we have a lower end representation too or we'd be musically rather lonely
Thanks for showing us your beautiful Sunbursts already. Wow, not one but two originals Enjoy your stay.

Thanks everybody. As far as storys behind them, not really a lot to tell....the '71 I picked up at a guitar show in Spartanburg, SC last year. The pots are dated '71, but it could possibly be a '72, I never had the neck off of it to check. The 65 was advertised online about 3 hours from here near Florence, SC, and I drove down and bought it from a private owner. Been wanting a Mosrite for years, finally took the plunge and bought these two. The 71 has no issues whatsoever except 1 small crack in the fingerboard binding. The 65 had 2 frets missing near the neck joint, if you look at that picture you can see it. It also had some fingerboard lift and a crack in the fingerboard right there where the frets were taken out, I imagine that's why they took them out. I had my local guitar guy fix it since, he did a great job, and you can't even tell there was any work done. Otherwise, it is in fantastic shape for how old it is. The woman I bought it from said it was her deceased father's guitar, and she believes he bought it new. Both guitars are all original, except for the 2 replaced frets and fingerboard repair on the 65. The band I'm in plays a lot of surf instumentals, and about 80 percent of everything clean, so they work out great, been after that sound for years.
