AceHaze, I am one of probably many Mosrite fans
that may be able to steer you in the right direction.
Back in 2002 I saw the Filmoore 50th Anniversary model
with a sparkle blue finish & HAD to have it. It was
on the Ed Romans Guitars website. Ed Roman runs a
guitar shop out of Las Vegas.
After doing a little research & conversing with
Mr. Roman over the phone, I had my Mosrite a week & a
half later. I'm a big surf guitar & Ramones fan, so
what other guitar would be worth blowing a months
salary on???
I'm not in a band, nor am I the greatest player,
but I do know a beautiful guitar when I see one.
Aside from asthetics, it plays wonderfully! The
action is TIGHT from the first fret to the 21st.
I actually got to go to Vegas last year & dropped
by Mr. Romans shop. He has a huge showroom with
dozens of Mosrites. It was all I could do to walk out
of there without purchasing another. Go to the
website & take a look at Ed's Mosrite page.
Hope this helped: Big E
