Yeah, I also had a Rick 6 stringer that had the too-thin neck. I played it purdy
much exclusively for 2 years. Ya get use to it but instead of finding other
Gibsons and Fenders "big" in my hands they felt more like luxary in my hands and
I eventually sold the Rick. I do like my Mosrites for the sound and the funny
backwards looks. .

I have a Fillmore re-issue Mosrite and an original '66......I think
Mosrites are a bit of an aquired taste. The small necks and low
frets do take some getting used to, but once you get aquainted with
them, picking up just about any other make of guitar will feel "big"
in your hands. A good comparison would be a Rickenbacker 12 string
to just about any other 12 string made.....Rickenbacker necks are
also small and a lot of people just can't get used to them, but once
you've gained a comfort level with them, nothing compares to the
ease of playing and the sound they have. I sure wish I could walk
into a "funky clothing store" and find 3 vintage Mosrites for sale
for $700-$1000 each....I'd RUN to the bank! --- In, "darklsurf" <dcordes@s...> wrote:
