Hey Guys!
Now i know that, even if i didn't imagine it, the guitar i seen was obv not called what i wrote in the title, ha!
but a few months ago, i seen this mosrite guitar on Ebay, where, the strings where upside down and the neck was a triangle shape which stuck out so you could actually play lapsteel standing up. it was amazing looking, but i always wondered.. was it a real mosrite or some one off thingy.
anyone ever seen one of these, or am i just going mad with mosrite fever?
anyone?
peace

I believe you might be referring about the 'Mel-O-Bar??'

CRAZY!
I like how the V/T controls are mounted on the vert side not to mention the headstock cutouts...
CRAZY! :twisted:

'Reminds one of half of that crazy thing Junior Brown plays SO well. If you are not familiar with him or his incredible skill as a picker, look him up.

Thank you for sharing.
