Hello forum,
Not a usual forum member but since I own a Mosrite (well it says so on it) I thought I'd join.

I own Johnny RAMONE issue Mosrite, signed by himself (number 3 or 30). It was bought from a company called GuitarPunk. I have heard that this may be deemed a fake, by the real Mosrite folk.

I just wonder if this is a fake? I paid £1200 for it. I have a certificate of authentication of Johnny's signature.

The guitar plays really well, it is very light.

I also play in a RAMONES tribute band, CARBONA NOT GLUE, the longest running RAMONES tribute band in the world! Started in 1996! Quite scary really. http://www.CarbonaNotGlue.co.uk (there's some videos of the guitar in action). at first I did not use it but then thought I am not going to sell it, so I may as well use as it was meant to. I have even put Johnny RAMONE gauge strings on it.

Anyway this is me just saying hi, hope I am not a fake Mosrite user.

Robin

ps. anyone in Edinburgh area, Scotland? We are playing with a Blondie tribute band at the Electric Circus , Edinburgh - Aug 29th 7:00 pm.

I saw these strings they are Dean Markley Blue Steel gauge 9's. I just bought the Blue Steel gauge 9's.


worked ok for the gig last night. A bit lighter than my normal.

Anyone know where you can buy a Hallmark Johnny RAMONE guitar in UK. I know not a mosrite ....

I would like a back up and blue one.

Welcome, Robin! I believe that the Guitar Punk guitar is called a WeaselRite, and is its own brand - as far as I know, not a lot of these were produced. Someone is probably much more familiar with these than I, but they come up occasionally on eBay.

Hello Robin Ramone! Welcome to the forum!

We have the official Johnny Ramone guitars in "Blitzkrieg Blue" in stock! I believe you will like it much more than the GPC model that you have currently. We have had alot of guys sell those GPC's and purchase on of our Johnny Ramone models. We have taken every step to insure a faithful reproduction of Johnny's original. You can order one right through our website: www.hallmarkguitars.com and if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them for you. We ship our guitars Internationally regularly as you may suspect as we are primarily direct company. We just shipped a White JR to France last week. It only takes 3 days to the UK arrive via Fed Ex which is the only service we use as it is fast and reliable.

Gabba Gabba and thank you for your interest!!

Welcome Robin! Bob beat me to it, but as an owner of several Hallmark guitars, I'd go with the JR Hallmark version. The high build quality of these guitars, and the very reasonable price make them an excellent choice over a "real" Mosrite which can go for 2-4x the price. I also own several variants or "fake" Mosrites, some of which are excellent, while others are crap.(My Kurokomo is quite nice, my Fullerton is crap.)
Please give my regards to Bruce Wayne!
