Hey Tom,

did you happen to read this thread?

When you go back to PhotoBucket, hover over your image and then click in the box marked "Direct Link". That is the code that you will past between the "Img" brackets.

66 Mark I

Postby tom villaflor » Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:55 am

hope I figured out how to finally send these pics .....
and while im at it...can someone tell me the story behind why some pickguards have 7 screws and some have 8?? Mine has 7 as you can see.....but couldve benefitted from 8 ,because i have some 'lifting" of the guard at that point(right beside the angled pickup)....

ok ..im going to try to send rest of them..hope they make it..
does anyone know the history behind ..pickguards with 7 screws and some with 8?
As you can see mine had 7....couldve benefited from 8 though..as there is some "lifting" of the guard at that point right beside the angled pickup next to the fretboard

Welcome to the world of Mosrite ... I don't know if there was any rhyme or reason to what configuration, hardware, etc. was used on Semie's builds ... just a whim, or what was on hand. The 63s started with only 3 screws in the pickguard, then to 8, then back to 7 .... Who can tell??

Welcome to the Forum. Below is a link to the Mosrite timeline of changes, including the 8 to 7 screw pickguard change. Still being refined, as its a work in progress. My Mark I also has a 7 screw pickguard and its lifting in the same spot. Who knows why Semie changed to 7 screws. :D
