What's the story on this?

[Dennisthe Menace]

I noticed there are different locations for Swing Science, one being in Orlando, Florida.
Are these locations opened to the Public, or just different distribution locations?

Think of it as the CBS buy out of Fender Guitars in 1966.

Actually, January 4th, 1965.

Smart A$$!

Danny, you found good website. Please check it out (sorry Japanese page) !

You can see the image of 'Mosrite Marine'.When Semie built such a mega-yacht in the past ?

Arpsum, I doubt if Semie had anything to do with that yacht. That is probably something new that Swing Science Inc. is marketing with their newly acquired Mosrite name. Semie was only wealthy for about five years during the 1960's then he went broke. As the story goes, he never recovered in financial wealth and usually survived on borrowed money. At one time he and Loretta lived in part of the factory building which was an old abandoned school house.

There's one Japanese sentense often used for bad successor
, 'Predecessor is crying in the grave.' For better or worse, Mosrite is the brand only for Semie Moseley.

Danny, do you mean SSI owns the Mosrite name now? (newly acquired Mosrite name)

Vincent, yeah, that's my interpretation of this 'Mosrite Mess'.

I posted an ariticle about Mosrite guitars being made by Swing Science on my regular Taiwanese guitar forum. Swing Science is a big and well known company located in southern Taiwan. (in Kaohsiung which is the 2nd largest city in Taiwan) The company is located in Taiwan but is owned by Japanese. I hope some of my readers may know something about this project. But I kind of doubt it, unlike Japanese, most people in Taiwan are not as crazy about Mosrite guitars.

Hopefully, the gentleman who contacted me before will see my posting and get in touch with me again (he works for Swing Science and found my name from that forum). I also sent him an e-mail a few days ago but no response yet.

I will keep you guys posted if there is any new development.
