Hello Everybody.
My name is Will. I've been lurking around for the past few months and finally decided to join, if for no other reason to document my guitar and to (hopefully) get a couple of questions answered. As my forum name suggests, I own a 350 Stereo. I have a history I've been working on but the moderator's welcoming email scared me into posting before I got it finished; I'll post it tomorrow.
Below you'll find some hastily taken pics of my Mosrite. It is serial number ^0331. I've owned this guitar since December '74 and played it in the store for several months before that. I'm fairly certain that it was used when I got it, but given the manufacturing timeline for the 350 models and the high serial number it couldn't have been that old. I haven't played it in a long time so it's got some tarnishing going on here and there. Of course, the lacquer has checked pretty badly, too. I know you guys love your vintage photos so I added one of mine, back when the guitar and I were just starting out (8th grade). Anyway, that's all for now; I'll add my complete history tomorrow.

Hi Will, and welcome to the forum.
Sorry that our forum email is a little demanding but it became necessary due to the magnitude of spammers registering on the forum. The stringent requirement of the time frame for posting eliminates a lot of problems before they start. Also, please post your photo's and story in the vintage Mosrite section as it will get more visibility there. Looking forward to your participation. Enjoy the forum.

Re: Noob from No. Cal
Welcome, Will. Nice 350 you have there, Is the finish green or is it black? At first it looked green to me but now it looks like it could be black. If its green its funny you joined now, Forum member GTSP Just bought one in green the day before you joined.
