Got the new Mo

[Edward Lopez]

So my friend and I did the trade - it's not an Excellent, but an Ed Roman Mosrite, which makes it a Fillmore? It looks a lot like Elliot Easton's pearl white Fillmore except this is a righty. I played it last night and it sounds way different from my Avenger. The Avenger sounds creamier while this one sounds kinda hi-fi...really clean but deep. That's Binky peeking out from behind the guitar. I'll post a another picture or 2 later.

I don't care what anyone says, Mosrite guitars/basses - the traditional "The Ventures" shape/style - are eye candy! I know that some members have other brands and I just can't be bothered to appreciate whatever they offer their owners. But a Mosrite is like Marilyn Monroe, a form to be admired. And when Marilyn walked, you hear a Mosrite being played. Byron, that is one beauty, congratulations and may you own it in good health.

Great score Byron--Great looking guitar and the puuurfect kitty to go with it. The pickups on the Fillmore have more windings and the windings are tighter thus giving the sound difference you are hearing. The Fillmore pickups are very close to the original Mosrite pickups that were wound when Semie was alive so you should be able to get some great twang from this fine instrument.

MOSDAN - thanks for the info! That explains a lot.
