Man it's a killer guitar! If you see one (Mosrite Avenger made by Firstman) grab it!

Nice, Tym from Tyms guitars in Brisbane is somewhat of a Mosrite expert. He may be able to help with a bridge replacement or advice.

Re: NGD: M is for Mosrite!
I'm fairly certain this passed through his hands actually. I posted on the Mosrite lovers Facebook page and one of the dudes on there reckons he brought it into Australia from Japan and then later sold it to Tym.Dbart78 wrote:Nice, Tym from Tyms guitars in Brisbane is somewhat of a Mosrite expert.

I've actually sourced replacement parts from Hallmark Guitars. The only thing I'm struggling with at the moment is finding suitable tuners for the extra thick headstock.

Surprisingly little- it's 60s Japanese rather than the unobtanium USA variety.tubeswell wrote:I won't ask how much

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I just found this and I’m really excited.
Slightly off topic but it’s in the ballpark, (mos)rite?

Don't usually like stuff like this, but I have to say this is an exception. What an awesome looking beast!

Yep- that looks like a fairly good option to fulfill a Ramones fetish.Single coil wrote:I just found this and I’m really excited.

Re: NGD: M is for Mosrite!
I don't have it with me at the moment but, from memory, it's pretty close to 20mm thick. The holes in the posts on the Kluson style Tone Pros set I have only just clear the top. Annoying because they're awesome tuners.jvpp wrote:What thickness the headstock Ben?bender wrote:I'm fairly certain this passed through his hands actually.

Re: NGD: M is for Mosrite!
it actually tapers from 18mm to 16mm away from the neck.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
