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.


Do you have the email adress, Desert Surfer?

Great Danny. Thanks. Google is indeed your friend.
I just emailed them.

I'm away from the internet a few days and look what happens! Good news! Now, I wonder if there will be a 'Surf Rider '63'?

Vince, let us know if you hear more from your friend in Japan. If Fillmore no longer owns the rights, then who does?

Yeah, that's the key question we are all dying to find out. Personally, I would like to see the Mosrite name go back to Semie's family who would make the real Mosrites in their own factory in US. Or, at least by licenced luthiers in this country (like Danny)

Kurokumo has made '63 model before. I've got two of them. I am sure you can custom order with them. Personally, I like the 2nd one which has a little wider and thicker neck. (It is a Nokie Edwards Signature Prototype)

*EDIT*

Guess she wasnt fired, just on a leave of absence: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=330

Bushers:

I will be in Vegas on Nov. 15. Maybe we can meet at Ed Roman's store (right next to the old super store, not as big as before). Ask for salesperson T.C. and tell him you are Vincent's friend. They have a few vintage Mosrties for sales (but unfortunately too expensive, and it is very hard to bargain with Ed)

I don't think Dana is working there anymore. "Leave of absence" is nicer way Ed put it....
