Lewd uses 11 gauge strings on his Mosrite with out difficulty, and I might add,
He plays the hell out of it! LOL :^)

Ha! I don't really care how much the guitar appreciates, if it's
unplayable it's worthless to me. I've known and know about 5 or 6
guys who have or had Mosrites, vintage and various reissues, and
they all seem to complain about the same issues, so I'm just
rehashing what I've heard to a poster who asked. Even Marty says
they have a lot of the wrong features, and we hardly agree :)
Play whatever you want, I have nothing against Mosrites, and think
they sound excellent, I'm just weary of the quality of a majority of
the vintage ones I've seen, and the modern ones I've played liked
light strings and I can't play anything less than 12-54.
So if a "good" '62 Jag or Jazzmaster come your way for about 500
bucks, please let me know!
