Bill,
saying that Mosrites were a mistake isn't really fair. To say you don't like
them and prefer other makes is all part of freedom of choice and personal
preference.
I tend to like the thin neck and fret spacing, I find Fenders very uncomfortable
to play. So I could say I wouldn't pay $500 bucks for a good Fender, and that's
OK, however does that mean that Fender guitars were all a mistake? I think not.
One fact remains, Like Harley Davidsons, Mosrites hold their value, if not
appreciate.

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!
