We both have the same model. The '65 Excellent. We bought them
from Michael at My Rare Guitars.com thinking it would be cool to
have matching Mosrites. neither of us can play them very well, and
sometimes they just don't have the sound you want for the material
we're doing. someday we might bust them out for a ventures
tribute. They sure are cool looking guitars.
I noticed Marty plays Mosrites - what models, year, etc?

if the other guitarist has an original '65 or is that the Japanese
copy they call the Custom '65? Is yours the "Excellent"? All of
those Japanese models really were very well made. It's a shame they
had their hand slapped and had to stop production. I also agree
about the difficult necks, but they have a great tone.
