Hello there fellow Mosrite fans!
Well, I've built Original Mosrites with my ol' friend and mentor Semie Moseley, and custom Mosrite style clones in my own shop for many years and I've never done any step-by-step photos of any of my projects, in fact dozens of my guitars have gotten away without a single photo, so you're going to see it here first, on the Mosrite Forum, Step-by-step photos of the hand-building process of four of my E.F.Elliott Custom Mosrite style guitars. I'm going to be building two '59 Joe Maphis customs and two '63 Ventures style custom guitars.
