M-3 California : Getting Back On Track

Postby raygun85 » Tue Jun 19, 2012 3:24 am

When we first set out several years ago, our mission was to offer custom hand-made Mosrite-style guitars, made in the USA (not 'assembled' or 'designed in the USA' :) ).

Well, my father's health and other external factors seemed to slow us down and limit our capabilities. We were becoming content to offer custom parts and pickups, especially since our humble pickups have exploded in popularity over the past 3 years. However, things have seemingly turned around over these past few months and we are now getting back on track. I'll post more photos of our current projects later, but we wanted to announce our latest creation...

Most folks know that King David of the Old Testament scriptures was a musician. And if he were alive today, we're pretty sure he would play this:

Designed in cooperation with none other than everyone's favorite guitar-toting rabbi: Meshugga Mel!

Serial# MW01
Look for it on tour with Meshugga Beach Party this week!

How dare you presume to inject, using reproducible facts and rational thought, an on-topic discussion into a thread that had degenerated from sarcasm, personal invective, and hand-waving arguments?

Awesome! I caught a glimpse of that the other day in one of your auctions. What's the black switch for?

Fritz - the black switch is a phase selector for the bridge pickup.

I'm on my way to pick up this baby now and I'll have a full report when I get back!

Very attractive guitar, Matt! I like the "falling dominos" look of the three pickups.

Does this guitar come with the speed frets?

Wow! I am truly blown away, I was literally clapping only moments ago (70's reporter voice kicks in) As you can see the true abundance of joy this guitar brings can only be measured by the Awesome-o-meter 5000 and it's reading 11 out of 10!
