Howdy ! from new member in England

Hi,
I`m from England & have a few Mosrites (+ a Fuzzrite) & just found this forum while searching for some fret wire to repair/restore one.

Welcome to the forum Simon. So, where about in the UK are you? What model Mosrites do you have? Do you play in a band?

Let me add my welcome to the Forum.
Are Mosrites as rare in England as they are in most other places outside the US?
I have a friend in London who sends me Mosrite magazine articles but as far as actual sightings of guitars is concerned, he doesn't get to report much.

Hi Mel,
I`m in Brighton on the South coast, where the Mods & rockers used to beat each other up.
I have a 65`P/White & 68 12 string C.A Red(non vibrato). My band is called The Space Agency & we play instrumentals, I`ve heard some of your stuff by the way & liked it.

Hi Bill,
Mosrites don`t show up in England very often & if they do they are crazy prices these days, even copies can be about £1500(that`s about 2150 U.S $`s, although I`ve seen those Ranger models advertised for about £800(double what they are in Japan when I`ve seen them there).
we have to pay a lot of tax on top of the price if we import stuff here but it`s still usually cheaper than buying guitars & equipment in U.K.
