Mosrite 300: Rare Yes, Market value No

[Sarah93003]

Thanks Sarah. Your consistent thoughtfulness, insightfulness, and total "coolness" on so many threads and topics makes the Forum a really great experience.

I will play my (very rare) 1973 Mosrite 300 for many, many years to come.

If it's a vintage Mosrite guitar, then you know it's a darn great guitar!

Gosh, I'm blushing now!! For what it's worth, think it's a cool guitar anyway and would be proud to have one myself. Incidently, I would love to see pics of yours.

The 350 doesn't seem to go for much either. I saw one listed for $1,000 some months ago and it didn't sell.


actually I think that was my 350. I bought it from the guy at 900, with a cheapo gig bag. wished it had the OHSC, but it fits okay in my ventures 2 reissue case, so I'm good for now

As a former 350 owner, I can vouch for that. I can't remember what I paid for mine new back in '74--it might have been $350! But, when I sold it in '76, I only got $100 for it--of course, I sold it to a friend who didn't have much money, and I was trying to raise the cash to get from San Francisco to Nashville to take a gig, and I didn't want to sell my '59 Tele! Rarity alone won't guarantee desirability--the 300 is scarcer than the 350, but the 350 will sell for a bit more because there's not much demand for solidbodies with a single neck pickup. They're both cool guitars, though!
