Re: Mosrites

supertwangreverb - 23 Feb 2005 09:54:45

Lets see, I don't think your missing anything. Every Mosrite I've
played has been like that. If you could bend the strings on
those "frets" you'd get stuck on the closest string because they are
so damn close together!(Nokie managed) Sorry to all the Mosrite
lovers out there, but I think for the most part those guitars really
are a mistake, I wouldn't pay more than 500 bucks for one. Some of
the vintage ones are really trashy. At the Chicago Music Exchange
(the rape exchange) they have tons of vintage ones, and he asks 6-7
grand for most of them, compared to his 2-3 grand Jaguars they are
in terrible physical and playability shape. I'd still take one at a
decent price just because they sound so GOOD!
