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.

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. ;)
