I find the sound of most YouTube videos is not good. The Hitchhiker's pickups sound great live and are wired to give 15 different combinations so most could...
Gary, Don had one Mosrite when I was at his place last July. It was serial no. 46 and had been rigged for stereo. When I went back in November, he had sold it...
Yes Del IÂ never believed that old story about the Mosrite design although I can see because the Mosrite body is in reverse to a Strat how it came about and...
oops Del - I didn't see this post before I asked you the question. Ian ... From: Del Halterman <venturian@...> To: undergroundfire2@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Kand, I'm not so sure if that is the first production Mosrite, because it has a roller bearing type bridge. I always thought the first production group had the...
Not very probable Marty, with unsplittable Humbucking Pickups, cheap (the saddles caused strings to break!) bridge, cheap Ping tuners, plastic nut, altogether...
Where did you get the impression that I was giving ALL the credit to the guitar, Marty? That SURE isn't what I said. There you go again, changing the...
The battery is accessed from the back of the guitar (the panel where the strings go thru). The circuit board is under the pickguard, lower left hand...
I remember reading here that Gerry didn't like the guitar because it ate batteries at a fantastic rate. I think Marty has the scoop on that one. Rich From:...
Hi Gary: Unfortunately, I wasn't on the cruise. The link that I gave was to a site that is presumably maintained by Tim and Straci. -Kanad _____ From:...
Tom: As far as I know, there are mainly 4 saddle types: 1) Fixed, common saddle for all strings, Aluminum baseplate, has string mute mechanism (early V's...
There was at least another one that showed up on ebay sometimes ago. I had saved the pics - guess what it was Serial No. 46. I saved several pics. -Kanad ......
I should also add that it did not sell in the first round and was offered by a "private collector" who claimed it was a custom model. Nowhere was it mentioned...
Kanad, You have pictures? I feel like a homeless man watching you eat a fantastic meal from the street with a thick pane of glass between us, my tongue frozen ...
Actually I am building one, sort of. My dad and I built a Strat years ago. We bought the neck and used quality hardware but went cheap on electronics. We ended...
Here's a question for those who may know: Why does it seem that the amont of volume from the 1st string is so low when compared to the B string right next...
OK – here’s one off ebay. -Kanad _____ From: undergroundfire2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:undergroundfire2@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Carozza Sent:...
I just checked the date on which this pic was saved – it was June 2006. So Del saw this with Don one year AFTER this was put up on ebay. Also, just for the...
Rich, You have the picture. The stereo Mosrite Kanad is talking about is in the picture Del posted with Don holding it. I remember seeing it on Ebay as well. I...
Thanks for the photo, Kanad. I'm not following what you're saying about bridge plates. Is the bridge plate on the guitar pictured a modern bridge plate or one...
Kanad, These things can sometimes get shuffled around. Perhaps that auction you saw took place before Don bought it. I didn't get the impression that he had...
I found my pictures of the guitar (see below) as well and mine are dated May 7, 2007. -Marty ... From: Kanad Ghose To: undergroundfire2@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I don't think this one was made in 1963. Look its was made in the 80's. Semie have made some re-issue model at that time period. So, why 11k pay for this...
Marty: I just found some other pics from my vaults – they are dated May – this probably means that it was out up on ebay twice. The serial number is what...
Michel: Its very likely genuine and made in the 60s. There are quite a few pics that I have (including the ones that Marty posted). Unless somebody aged ...
Ok well even in the case where you want to attribute only some of your success to your modifyed guitar, I still say you could have told the same story had you...
