Re: Identify Me Please - Getting Confused :)
Hello all,
not a complete Japanese Mosrite, but something made from quite different parts:
- the vibrato is Japanese, the bridge may be, too
- the pickups look at least like having original covers, but the back looks strange
- no idea what the body is, but I guess Japanese may be right – the German Carve looks not like original US Mosrite
BUT:
- the neck is original USA Mosrite, not Mark I or Ventures model but a Joe Maphis (single neck) model's neck, a late 68 I'd guess from the original (Japanese-made) Mosrite tuners and the quite high serial number
All the best,
Max
