How much was it?

Thanks, Lars: Sorry, it's too late. The guitar is with my guitar tech guy now and the "Hoola girl" will be executed next week. :o She won't live to see this Christmas... :cry:

I got it at very good price (under $2000) :) I am extremely happy with the sound.. :D


Vincent,

If the hula girl on the guitar goes away, you should get your wife a grass skirt and lei to wear while you play guitar. It's only fair....

Congratulations again on the guitar!

I have no problem with a deal/sticker on a modern 'el cheapo' guitar but it is sacrilegious to have it on a vintage Mosrite.

Danny, I am with you. If Semie or his family members put the decal there, I'll keep it... Like this guitar Semie made for one of his grand children (as told on eBay). I do not own this guitar (I wish but I missed it on eBay)

Otherwise, I would keep my Mosrites as original as possible.

Mel: I would buy my wife a straw skirt right away but she said she would wear it only in Hawaii... So, I have decided to save the money and hope I can spend it on my next guitars.

I can not say that I care for that guitar you posted Vincent. That body looks like it's inflatable. Is that a bow up guitar? :lol:

Hey, kids love inflatable toys! If he likes it, he will play it. If he plays it, he will love it.. If he loves it, he may become a guitar player or guitar maker... :D

Anyway, this guitar has some historical value to me. Maybe one of our forum friends got it from that auction about a year ago.

Danny, the "inflatible" guitar is actually an M-88. This was the 'other' model besides the Ventures. This particular guitar did away with the German Carve. ;)

Vincent, the Dustin M88 is still available; I don't think it ever sold on eBay. It's been hanging on the wall of a shop in LA for a while now.

Thanks, Adam. So the eBay deal did not go through then. Or maybe this LA shop bought it for resales. Just curious, how much they are asking now?
