Nicanor (Brazilian Mosrite Copy)

[zubrycky]

Hello!

My name is Diego Zubrycky and I live in São Paulo, Brazil.

Here's my main guitar.



This guitar (Inspired by Johnny Ramone's white Mosrite) was made by Nicanor, a brazilian luthier.

Here's the specs.

Turners: Grover
Number of frets: 24
Bridge: Gotoh
pickups: Bill Lawrence humbuckers.

I don't know anything about Nicanor, unfortunately. I'm not the first owner of this guitar (I bought it used).

I believe this is the only Mosrite copy made by Nicanor.

It's a very special guitar for me. I hope you like it.

Cheers from Brazil,
D.

P.S.: I'll post more pictures and videos with this guitar soon.

Looks cool man. Heard there is strong love of surf music down in Brazil. True?

Hi and I notice that the body shape is not quite the same as a Ventures II Slab Body, Not that it's "Wrong", Just an observation. It looks good to me, But if you'd like it to sound more like a Mosrite the first thing I'd suggest to change is the bridge. I don't think a stock Mosrite bridge would fit a Tune-O-Matic type stud hole though, That (A Mosrite-Type bridge that would replace a Tune-O-Matic) might be a good thing for someone to start manufacturing come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen one yet outside of thinking of it!

Thanks for the idea, Austin! I'll think about that!

What's the fret height? Speed frets are about .022 thousandths of an inch tall on the Low E side and .015 on the High E side, At least on the 1966 Ventures II I've played. FYI.
