Am I bumping a 13 year old thread? Why, yes I am. Looking back, I'm surprised at the collection here. I remembered the Ventures II (Carved) models that have odd tailpieces (the Red one and the Sunburst one to its left:)

I wasn't paying attention to the Joe Maphis models back in 2009. Artie has a Maphis II? Holy moly.

I also see a Brass Rail (with a Moseley vibrato tailpiece, no less, a rarity of rarities!)

And there are 2 Stereo 350s that are later models (evidenced by the cheaper knobs,) and one Stereo 350 bass.

And what's that strange one between the 12 String Ventures Model and the Dobro? I can't tell if this is a Blues Bender or Brass Rail model.

Quite a good collection, really.

I took a lot of photos when I visited there. I'll have to dig into those and see if I have anything to share. :D

OK, thanks. But are your photos a little more well-lit and/or with higher definition? There are some details I can't see very well in the photos already posted. I'm most curious of the Blues Bender (or S.M. model, I can't tell what it is,) Red Ventures II (I can't see its odd tailpiece very well,) the Brass Rail, the Joe Maphis II, and the 350 models.

Post up the pics you wondering about and I'll see if mine are better.

Thanks, Sarah. All of the photos I'm most curious about are already in the quoted reply. I'm curious of the Carved Ventures IIs, the 350s, the Brass Rail, the Joe Maphis II (the one with the more curved horns,) the Dobro, and the Blues Bender 500 model. I'm also curious of any Mosrite Acoustics, if there are any.
