Hey there all you Ramones and Mosrite fans, Sherlock here:
Did anyone notice the misspelling in this Ramones decal? (the apostrophe should come after -and not before the "S" in Ramones; i.e. RAMONES' (sorry, ....my English school education I guess)
Typically Semie here too I guess, choosing to use the Ventures' font style for Ramones models...
Another interesting tidbit and possible explanation for the Ramones model logo(which mine has). Jesus, the guy that was working for Semie and later Loretta, told me he made this silkscreen. Nice guy that put way too much faith in Loretta, imo.

Don't forget the fact that the Mosrite folks were gospel hillbillies and had no idea what a Ramone was. I'm sure Semie was completely confused by all the interest in Mosrite because of Johnny Ramone, proper punctuation was the last thing on his mind! ha.

Rocco, you really need to get some pictures of your guitars up. The suspense is killing me!

Hey, I notice zarfnober has hijacked my "Sherlock post" in this thread!
...inadvertantly of course, it happened to me too!
No harm done; the focus is on the pics we're expecting to see...

Went to the Guitar Center store in NYC and saw this on display:
Looks like Johnny played this one...

That's Johnny's guitar alright, looks like it has been moved from the Guitar Center Hollywood store to a more appropriate New York location. Thanks for the photos!

In the book Ramones "An American Band"; there is pic of Semie presenting Johnny with a Mosrite Ramones model prototype.
