Thanks a lot Danny. This is unexpected.
I know that most people that visit your site are interested in the later model Mosrite's that were made after 1960. I'm afraid I'm quite ignorant when it comes to these models. Actually, I've never owned a Mosrite. Couldn't afford my dream guitar, The Joe Maphis Mosrite Special. When I first met Semie in 1957 I just had to ask; how much would one cost. The answer was $1200.00. About twice the price of a Gibson Super 400 at the time. So my only option was to make one.
I enjoy reading the threads and adding a comment on occasion. Giving a tip or posting a procedure is a pleasure. Watching Ed build his clones is especially neat and seeing what other members and yourself have built is a treat as well.
At present I'm finishing another "Maphis" doublneck and building two more prototype single neck models to debut at the 2010 Deke Fest. Ed's making me the pickups for one of them now. Here's a link to a Photoshop mock-up of one of them:

Again, thank you Danny.
