Re: [SurfGuitar101] Mosrites

mctippens - 09 Dec 2001 20:55:52

I've played a few including an original type I with the neck through body. I
think they suck as "players" guitars but they are very fun in their nostalgic
appearence and sound. The single coil pick-ups are overwound but I think too
the higher output legend has been overblown over the years. They don't sound
that much unlike a strat. It was a roller bridge on the ones I've played. The
neck is too thin and the microfrets are not a good idear for quick playing,
you get to much wood when you fret a note.

<<Hi,
I too am curious about Mosrites. Has anyone played the "real" thing?
Impressions?
I've read they have very hot pickups, and they seem rather large (wide) like
a Jazzmasters. I was wondering if they hummed like Jazzmasters? Do they hum
cancel when both pickups are on? And whats up with that bridge? Looks like a
roller bridge with a kind of Bigsby'ish trem system. Interesting. And a zero
fret? Hmmmm.
