If you call him in advance and let him know your time of arrival he just may give you the 'E' ticket tour. ;)

It's just like mine, and I love it!

I agree.

If there is anyone who doesn't like the Ranger and doesn't bother to do the setup, please contact me - I might be interested in getting another one :D

Wow!! That's a nice looking guitar. Red Mosrites must be my favorite.

Nice t-shirt too ;-). I've been out of the loop here for a while now, I realise.

I friggin love it. I have a Ranger & as far as playability, its my favorite guitar on my wall. I have an SG standard, a Fillmore Mosrite & a real deal holyfield Mosrite V88.

Does that one in his hand have the regular knobs or are they the top hat ones with the M on them? I had to buy some off of Ebay & replace them for my Mosrite. IMHO, they should come with them. But if that is my only beef & it was corrected w/ $18.00 (six after I sold the knobs I replaced on Ebay) then so be it.

I'd trade my Martin D16 for a good lookin' Celebrity if anyone has one just laying around.

Fillmore doesn't use the M knobs. If you bought Japanese M knobs off eBay they are Kurokumo.

The ones on the guitar Artie is holding are the Jewel Knobs (lathed), predecessor to the 'M' Knobs ;) .
