For Sale: Mosrite of Classics?
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 7:41 pm
Hey guys, the last time I posted here was when I scored a pearl white Fillmore "Mosrite of Classics" at a pawn shop. Unfortunately, I have to sell it. I plan on getting another Mosrite in more prosperous times.
I want to avoid eBay and I want to make sure that what I ask for the guitar is reasonable. It's in good shape, no body or neck dings; there are two things that aren't original. One is the pickups, which were originally some kind of P-90's. I replaced them with a set of Hallmark pickups, which were a vast improvement. The original pickguard did not fit with the new pickups, so a new one was cut for it. The pickup installation and pickguard (red tort) were both done by another forum member, mikethemod, who lives near me. I've gigged with the guitar a few times and love it, but of all my guitars this one is the most valuable and also, as weird as this may sound, the most easily replaceable.
I've gotten a lot of compliments on the guitar and thumbs up from older guys who've owned original Mosrites. It's a hard thing to part with. I'll try to have pics posted soon. Any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks a lot.
