Tony Mosrite?

Now you can see the Tony Mosrite guitar at ebay.

Tony Mosrite

There're many pix there and seem to be nice. Does anyone know the reputation about this guitar?

Looks really great! Do you think the neck is wider than vintage Mosrites?

Never heard of him.

I see several issues that deviate from an authentic Mosrite, plus I don't think it's right to place a Mosrite and Ventures logo on a non Mosrite guitar then represent it as a USA made Mosrite. They left off the one very important word, CLONE.

It is stamped Tony G. but the seller has to subversively throw out the name Tony Mosrite. Yeah sure. :evil:

I guess that makes me Danny Mosrite. :lol:

I've heard that name before in the past few years, but I sure couldn't find diddley squat about him
on the Internet......but SERIOUSLY Folks.....Sidejack with Bolt-On Neck?? :shock: Yes I know, there actually
were a few that got thru like that from the factory, but when you are making a Clone.....oh, wait a second
...that's right....he didn't say it was a Clone...LOL. And, at least put a Fake truss rod cover on the Headstock
to cover up the Fender Rout for a truss rod, not to mention a bunch of other stuff, but I'll stop there....... :roll:
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

The listing has already been removed (???) but I did get to look at it yesterday.
I thought the headstock looked really wrong on that guitar, along with a pile of other details...

I agree with Desert Surfer...having seen photos of his work, I'd much rather buy a "Danny Mosrite" haha.
