MissingLink Joined: Jul 23, 2008 Posts: 488 Edge of the East China Sea	Posted on Sep 26 2008 10:42 PM Beautiful guitars, both. It took a while for that shape to grow on me, but once it did...well, you can never see too many Mosrite pics, right? It's great that your MkI looks completely original, Tonetti, and just the right amount of wear and tear. If I had one, I'd probably want to baby it, but this one looks like a real musician's guitar.

eddiekatcher Joined: Mar 14, 2006 Posts: 2775 Atlanta, GA	Posted on Oct 02 2008 09:51 AM Hey dub, what pickups are you using in your clones? I am monkeying around with different pickups in my Hallmark but have yet to find a pair that really knocks my socks off. The stock ones have way too much output and a very limited frequency response. They sound like Gibson P-90s. I've machined some special pick up covers that allow me to drop Strat type pickups in it but that still doesn't really blow me away either........ed — Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? Top

I've machined some special pick up covers that allow me to drop Strat type pickups in it but that still doesn't really blow me away either........ed The candy apple red one has Hallmark's, the sunburst has Elliot Mosrite pickup's. The difference is day light to dark. Both sound great but the Hallmark's don't sound like a Mosrite. If you 've ever played an American made Mosrite and liked what you hear, I'd definitely recommend trying the Elliot Mosrite pups. — Danny Ellison aka dubtrub Top

dubtrub Joined: Sep 22, 2007 Posts: 245 Bakersfield CA.	Posted on Oct 02 2008 02:42 PM sidewalksurf are the elliot pickups the same dimensions as the hallmark's? Yes! They are interchangeable. You can use the Hallmark rings with the Elliot Mosrite pups if the screw holes don't line up. On one of the pickups they matched perfectly the other two screws were slightly off, but worked with the screw at a slight angle. I just swapped rings. — Danny Ellison aka dubtrub Top

WoodyJ Joined: Apr 05, 2006 Posts: 1544 Bethlehem, GA	Posted on Oct 02 2008 06:50 PM 1965 Mosrite Ventures s/n 2700 (Moseley trem), 100% original in pearl white with tortoise guard, reissue case. It was a lovely old guitar, but I never cared for the way it sounded (very harsh pickups), and the neck was way to skinny for me. I sold it a couple of years ago. — Jack Booth (aka WoodyJ) The Mariners (1964-68, 1996-2005) The Hula Hounds (1996-current) The X-Rays (1997-2004) The Surge!

On the left is my "Partsrite" VIII, assembled from leftovers after the factory shut down in 1993. The pickups are Elliots and the vibrato arm is from Hallmark, but everything else is factory Mosrite. image Last edited: Dec 17, 2015 18:57:16 Top
