Hi Ryan, do you play with your new guitar every day? I also enjoyed myself the Mosrite hunting tour.

...copies even made in the tradition perhaps of "the Moseley method" ...(i.e. "use what we have") ;)

interesting... makes sense.

WOW, ...nice pics to drool over! CONGRATS Rynaro, what a SUPER COOL pearl white Mo' you have there! How does the Mosrite neck fit you? Here in Holland I have that disadvantage of not being able to try one out and I'm always kinda afraid of buying a Mosrite without knowning about it's playability (neck-wise)...for little ol' me...I've never had the opportunity of holding a Mosrite, let alone play one :( BTW, talking of "loud colours"...what d'ya think guys of that "poison-green" model hangin' on the wall there... :shock:

No 'neck problem' with the Hallmark 60 Custom I have though ;)

Thanks for sharing and have a safe journey home

Oh i have the fever!!!
The neck is great, it feels the same as the new ones. I played a hallmark stradette and sweptwing in another store and felt they were great necks but a little wider and a little thicker.
I have played a mosrite 70's avenger @ tyms and they feel like the hallmark necks. if i was after a new guitar again ... the stradette is in my mind :-)
The green one is VERY LOUD!!! i loved seeing it but could never buy it.

I had a great time too.
Yes i have been playing it every night when i have got back to the hotel, until this morning i took off the strings, wrapped it in bubble-wrap and stuffed clothes in the mosrite case and locked it up.
I am off to the airport in half an hour.
I had a great time here in tokyo and wish i had more time and money to buy guitars.
I have found the food great, people friendly and helpful, and cheaper than what i thought in day-day stuff (food, transport etc)
and the public transport here is awesome!!
I have just packed my vintage mosrite book to look at on the plane.

arpsum is the consummate host. i spent two solid days with him when i was back in tokyo in february, and it was the highlight of my trip. even though it's months after the fact, this seems like as good a time as any to restate my gratitude. thank you.

ps happy trails, rynaro.
