My guess is that Fillmore will continue to make Mosrites and ship to Ed Roman as usual but they can not stop anyone else making Mosrites. Will it be nice if Ed Roman (Fillmore), Kurokumo, Firstman and Swing Science (Loretta) all have booths at Danny's Mosrites convention in Bakersfield next year? Never say never....

I have a great idea for a fund raiser at a Mosrite (or any other guitar festival): Put Ed Roman up in a dunk tank and sell balls for $1 (or $5).

Anyone placed an order for these new Mosrites? What's the procedure? Do they speak english? How about payment?

Just e-mail them in English, they should be able to respond. I already have two Kurokumo Mosrites and probably not going to buy another. Normally, they would need bank transfer, not sure they accept Paypal.

Ed Roman may not be well liked by some people in the industry, but he is a fun guy to talk to. I visited his showroom & custom shop in September when I visited Vegas. He was nice to show me around and spent a lot of time with me. We talked about guitar designs etc and I found that he is quite talented in that way. Danny, you would enjoy the visit too.

Jason, if you do, make sure that Dana will be there that day, maybe you can get
some more 'tid-bits' from her for our Story "As The Stomach Turns." ;)
