The one in Desert surfer's photo looks like a "Royal '63", post logo model......

Here is picture of my early 90's Kurokumo ("Royal '63) One of best Mosrites I've owned.

I can't figure out how to do 2 pictures on one post. Here's the headstock...

They are so good and worth separate postings!! I would love to own one like that...(duh, but who wouldn't?!) ideal finish and headstock logo's!!!

[edit]looking at that wonderful headstock I just had a thought about how a typical iconic Mosrite headstock would be with 6 left hand tuners instead of 3 left hand and 3 right hand tuners. The pegholes and tuning shafts would obviously remain off set while the tuning buttons themselves would face each other directly... (I know, I'm a little bit crazy sometimes).

Nice! Those 3-tone bursts are starting to work on me - giving me GAS pains again. I'm just in a holding pattern trying to decide if I want to get another Mosrite or a Hallmark. I DO like that 'burst ...

As I said, it was probably the best Mosrite I've owned, and I've owned a lot. I owned a "real" '63
sidejack once -before I let a nice Japanese gentleman give me an ungodly amount of $$ for it, at a guitar show in Pasadena. I hate to say it, but this one played better, looked better and sounded better than the "real thing". It was light years beyond the "Excellent" models.

Is the "teardrop" shaped burst on the Royal '63 based on a particular guitar? Mosrite bursts usually follow the curve to the upper horn.

Nice call Mel, I remember Nokie's '63 on WDR '64 Vol II, and Nokie's did follow the German Carve......
