HERE IS MY NEWEST MOSRITE. BLUE-BURST 1964

Postby GTSP » Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:24 pm

Ok class, here she is. I got this one off of Ebay for $1,060.00 shipped to my door. I believe I got an unbelieveable deal on it. This thing is flawless. The neck is the exact same width as my Ranger, 1 & 9/16 inch.

I sold these for $1,700.00:

And aquired this sweet piece of art:

It came with the white Mosrite strap & an aligator case that says Mosrite of California in gold.

What did it for me was how that white binding pops out on that dark blue. It's just a beautiful looking guitar. Ed Roman has this model listed at $2,899.00 and Artie has them listed for $3,650.00 (at least that what it says on the prices he put on his thread that is a sticky at the top of this catagory).

Anywho, needless to say I am exstatic with this addition. My wife thinks I'm getting a little silly with the guitars, but whatever. I'll aquire 1 or 2 Mosrites a year for the rest of my life.
In order of purchase:
1) Mosrite Ranger
2) V88
3) Stereo 350
4) Hallmark II in Johnny Blue
5) Danelectro '66
6) Celebrity III
7) Hallmark Gospel
8) Serenade
9) Eastwood 300

That is pretty awesome, and I can't believe the price you paid! Man, I had no idea skateboards could go for that much either!

THe white one went for $1,126.88 & the green one went for $635.00.

1980's era skateboards are big now for old guys like me trying to re-capture a part of their youth. I've had both of these decks since 2000. I was just waiting on th3e right guitar to come along. When that seller sent me the 2nd chance offer for $1020.00, I had to jump on it.

I think you and I are about the same age. Unfortunately I never did very well with the skateboard. I had a little accident when I was a kid, then tried again when I was 21. My apartment had a huge living room and I practiced in there. I took it to the sidewalks of Boston, hit one crack, went flying and called it quits. I guess I'm just a wimp as I'm sure it takes a lot of spills before you get the hang of it. I left the skating to my friends.

I have been. I play it unplugged in front of the mirror. In between my ears, I'm a Ramone.

I tried a skateboard once and landed square on my butt. I tired a unicycle once and landed square on my butt. But I found my calling with a pogo stick! I can do that for hours, even up and down stairs, no hands, etc. ;)
